Laser Hair Removal Training

Laser hair removal training is typically offered through esthetic or aesthetician schools, though there are a few institutes that offer stand-alone programs. There is no standard curriculum or overseeing board to set the criteria for laser hair removal training. Depending on the school, training can last anywhere from a day to a few weeks. Many training programs also cover other laser treatments as well, such as spider vein reduction, tattoo removal, and more.

What Does Laser Hair Removal Training Involve?

During laser hair removal training, individuals will learn how to operate the standard laser equipment. More importantly, they can learn how lasers interact with skin and hair to help them better serve clients. For instance, most schools will cover the topics of wavelength, pulse width, repetition rate, and energy levels, and teach how these factors can affect each client's treatment. Skin typing skills go hand-in-hand with this knowledge in most programs.

A basic knowledge of pre- and post-treatment care should also be part of any laser hair removal training program. An overview of hair growth cycles is another common topic, as is basic contraindications for laser treatment. At the end of any training program, successful trainees should be able to consult with clients about the best methods for their individual needs, prep the client, perform the laser hair removal treatment, and handle any aftercare issues that may arise.
