Light and Laser Hair Removal Training Course
The full light and laser course. Diode, IPL, E-Light, SHR and SSR for hair removal, plus skin rejuvenation, acne, pigmentation and vascular therapy.
About this course
This is our broadest light based course. It covers hair removal across diode, IPL, E-Light and Super Hair Removal, and then goes on into what else those machines can do for you, which is where a lot of the extra income in a clinic actually comes from.
You will learn the legislation and laser safety framework properly, how light based treatments work, diode laser in depth, the hair growth cycle, and how to plan treatment times, intervals and a full course rather than selling single sessions.
The skin side covers Fitzpatrick typing and patch testing, consultation, contraindications and consent, and then separate sections on skin rejuvenation, acne therapy, pigmentation therapy and vascular therapy for thread veins and redness.
There is a full step by step operating procedure for IPL and E-Light, a supplement on Super Hair Removal in depth, and case study reflections on treatments that went wrong.
