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.

To find out more about your state, simply call 800-982-6817.

How do I find a laser school?

It may be easy to find a cosmetic laser school in your area but in the long run, it helps to attend a reputable school. That way you know they aren’t scamming you (it happens) and you are receiving top-tier education that will not only help you find work, but will teach you the best and latest techniques provided by leaders in the industry.

National Laser Institute has been around for over a decade and trains hundreds of attendees in their locations each month. Students have flown in from across the world to attend National Laser Institute because they know they are getting quality education and then some, like access to our Graduate Services Department that provides 100-200 job leads each month, access to the largest online medical aesthetic library, and classes led by industry experts.

I’ve never worked in the health/beauty/anti-aging industry before. If I enroll in a course, will I be way behind everyone else?

Not at all. In fact, most of our attendees haven’t worked in the industry prior to coming to train at National Laser Institute. You don’t need to worry about falling behind or not understanding! We make it fun and easy to learn.
