You will discuss and learn the fundamentals of performing laser tattoo removal treatments. Your experienced instructor will lead in-depth discussions about the types of tattoos and how to remove them, tattoo removal techniques, and pre- and post-treatment protocols. You will also explore topics such as:
- The difference between nano and picosecond lasers.
- Q-switched lasers and how they can effectively remove many types of tattoos
- Laser physics, tissue interaction, and the Fitzpatrick scale
- How tattoos interact with the skin and change over time
- Wavelengths needed for tattoo removal treatments
- Potential side effects and how to manage them
- Laser equipment, safety and settings
Safety is our number one priority, and we make sure all our students are knowledgeable and gain a thorough understanding of handing cosmetic lasers before they enter the treatment room. This course meets all LSO training requirements outlined by the ANSI Z136.1 Safe Use of Lasers standard.
Hands On Training
London Laser Training supplements classroom education with clinicals where you will receive hands-on practice with advanced, state-of-the-art laser technology and learn a wide range of techniques to provide safe and effective treatments to your clients.
In a real clinic environment, you will have the opportunity to work on multiple different clients and tattoo types in order to practice safe and effective cosmetic laser techniques. The technology we use is most effective and includes all three wavelengths (1064/755/532) to address all colors. Although most tattoo devices do not include all three wavelengths, knowing the different types is key to success.
The hands-on portion allows you to practice on real clients who are removing a variety of tattoo types, sizes and colors. You will experience training with the latest laser tattoo removal technology on the market and become familiar with equipment features and settings.
