Hi Emily,

Hope all is well with you. Based on Dr Goldberg's responses:

"We generally provide a series of 5-7 LED treatments. They are given
2-4 weeks apart. Yellow LED treatments take only seconds". Again,
this is with medical grade units, so potentially home based units (at
least those of a lower power) might require more frequent treatments.

Also, I found the following interesting about Yellow LEDs:

"Basic rule is yellow LED for mild redness, red LED for more inflamed
rosacea, combination of red and near-infrared for inflammation and
swelling."
