In this cosmetic laser training course, you will learn the fundamentals of aesthetic laser treatments, how to evaluate candidates and develop customized treatment plans, treatment techniques, safety protocols and more. We offer hands-on learning to actively engage our students and help them develop the skills necessary to provide effective laser services.
