This 3 day program is designed to provide you with indepth hands on experience. The first day will cover everything from "what makes a laser work" to "different skin types (Fitzpatrick Chart)" and "client selection". The program also includes laser safety, physics, the importance of determining the proper amounts of energy, parameters, wavelengths, chromophores, and pulse duration.
An introduction to the different types and differences in lasers, and basic laser hair removal theory and techniques. Plus we will layout all the knowledge necessary to enter this exciting field and perform laser hair removal.

This program is great for non-medical technicians to enhance "hire-ability" in an aesthetic medical practice (cosmetic surgeon), medical spa, or other practices using Laser technology with physician oversite. Doctors, Nurses, Estheticians, Electrologists will also greatly benifit from this preparation .

Gaining this certificate shows potential employers that you're motivated and educated about aesthetic laser use. You may use the certificate of training as evidence of required laser safety training when seeking employment in a medical office that offers these procedures, or in your own business in States that allow for use of lasers by non medical personnel. Those already engaged in Laser Hair Removal procedures may use the certificate as evidence of Laser Safety Training.

Hands-On Practice

Certificates will only be given to students who attend class daily and participate in both classroom and hands-on instruction with no more than 1 hour of missed in total. Students must also score 90% on their final exam. Those who score below may retake the exam.
