Photofacial Online Training E-Courses
Photofacial online training courses are a great way to utilize your time at home to upskill or change careers, whether you are an esthetician or a medical professional. Photofacial training from National Laser Institute is an online course for people entering the medical aesthetics field, and you can choose between a fully online course or a hybrid option.
What Are Photofacials And IPL?
“Photofacials” are light-based treatments (LED or IPL) that can be done anywhere on the body. Common areas include the bikini line, arms, face, lip, hands, feet, chin, neck and jawline.
A photofacial treatment uses IPL (intense pulsed light), which applies light energy from different wavelengths to target a skin color. IPL can even out skin tone and may help reverse signs of photoaging.
The light’s wavelengths improve skin issues and stimulate collagen, and laser treatments work more deeply than standard esthetician treatments. Learn more about IPL technology and inquire about photofacials at National Laser Institute’s Med Spa.
Photofacials treat:
- Sun damage
- Rosacea
- Broken capillaries
- Certain acne scarring
- Freckling
- Age or dark spots
What Is a Cosmetic Laser Technician?
Cosmetic laser technicians are medical aestheticians who sit between dermatologists and aestheticians. They are trained to operate lasers for hair removal, tattoo removal and photofacials.
Requirements vary by state, but generally include being 18 or older and holding a high school diploma or equivalent. Contact an advisor to confirm your state’s rules.
Learning Photofacial Online
Students get the same experience online as in person and can learn on their own schedule. Experts say retention is higher with online learning. The course covers a range of treatments, including body contouring, laser hair removal, and microneedling.
Why Choose National Laser Institute?
The average salary for cosmetic laser technicians is $65,000 to $85,000. A single IPL photofacial averages $600 and usually requires multiple sessions, which isn’t covered by insurance, meaning it is covered by the client out of pocket.
