Laser Hair Removal Technician 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.

What Our Graduates Say
I chose Atelier Esthetique because of their rating online. A past employee of mine also attended Atelier Esthetique and graduated and is currently working at a spa. The education at this school is great.
I chose Atelier Esthetique because of their close relationship with European Wax Centers. I also liked that there was a two-week intensive New York State waxing license program. Someone I know who took this class at Atelier Esthetique and recommended it to me.
Studying esthetics almost 10 years ago was the best decision of my life! I had been practicing law for 12 years, but I was very unhappy. So, I kept my job and started the part-time evening program to pursue my passion for skin care. I am currently in my 8th year of business as the owner of a top laser center in Midtown Manhattan.
