Everything You Need to Know About Laser Hair Reduction Training
Laser hair reduction is one of the services that makes up the 10 billion dollar medical aesthetic industry and is one of the top 5 nonsurgical cosmetic treatments performed in the United States. It’s been talked about by various celebrities, including Kim Kardashian, and featured in countless magazines as a great alternative to shaving or waxing.
But most people aren’t aware of what it takes to become a laser hair reduction technician. For instance, unlike other trade schools (cosmetology school, culinary school, cosmetology school) laser hair reduction training doesn’t take months to complete, but only two weeks. You are also able to go out into the working field after you’ve completed your certification.
Do I need to be an aesthetician to do laser hair reduction?
No. Although aestheticians can attend cosmetic laser training school, you don’t need to be one prior to attending your course.
Should I have a medical professional license before entering training?
This depends. There are a few states that require you to be a medical professional (MD, DO, RN, PA, LPN, etc.) in order to perform cosmetic lasers/laser hair reduction. However, a majority of states in the U.S. don’t require a medical professional license BUT will require you to meet the state’s regulations. This typically means you need to have your high school diploma/GED before attending a laser training school that meets your state’s regulations and requirements.
