Hands-On Training

Laser hair removal is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures in the United States. Laser is an abbreviation for “Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.” IPL, short for Intense Pulsed Light, is a popular method for hair removal treatment. Laser/IPL treatments can remove unwanted hair from the face, leg, chin, back, arm, underarm, bikini line, and other areas by using beams of highly concentrated light into hair follicles. Pigment in the follicles absorbs the light that destroys the hair.

As a certified laser hair removal technician, you can service all ages and genders to achieve smoother, hairless skin. Laser Hair Removal treatments take 15 to 45 minutes per service, depending on the area or areas treated. Laser sessions range from $50 to $250+ per area, and typically, clients need multiple sessions to achieve the best results. Overall, this laser hair removal training course will prepare students to move forward in their careers as laser hair removal technicians.
