The Medical Aesthetic Industry Is Booming!

The medical aesthetic industry is booming. Why? Because practitioners get to work with happy clients, enjoy flexible schedules, receive good pay for their expertise, work in aesthetically pleasing environments and build their clients’ confidence with every treatment!

A recent market report found that total employment is projected to grow 3.1% between 2024 and 2034, increasing from 170.0 Million to 175.2 Million, for a total of 5.2 Million additional new jobs. This billion dollar industry is only continuing to grow as millennials and baby boomers alike can’t get enough of these anti-aging treatments. Much of this can be attributed to the upsurge of non-invasive aesthetic procedures, the growing aging population, and the increasing destigmatization of aesthetic treatments.

Why Change Careers?

You may be on the fence about changing careers. Maybe you’re scared about doing something completely new, or you’re thinking you’ll fail or won’t enjoy a new career in reality as much as you think you would. The thing about life is that great opportunities and new adventures only happen when you take a risk. You don’t know how you’re going to feel about something until you’re actually doing it, so take the leap and go for it. Our students rave about our programs and end up falling in love with this industry!

The Course

First things first: certain areas of medical esthetics are reserved for those who are already medical professionals. For example, administering Botox or other cosmetic injectables requires previous medical training. In contrast, anyone can become a cosmetic laser technician.

As a cosmetic laser technician, you’ll administer a variety of laser treatments on clients and work in a range of settings. In most states, the only prerequisites to becoming a cosmetic laser technician are to:

• Be at least eighteen years old
• Have a high school diploma or its equivalent
• Undergo a certain number of supervised hours of training

You can come from any background (stay-at-home mom, truck driver, retail employee; it literally doesn’t matter) as long as you’re willing to learn.

Don’t worry about feeling intimidated or like you’ll be the only student who doesn’t know anything on day one. Our expert instructors will guide you through the course, and you’ll come out confident in your ability to administer cosmetic laser treatments on real clients; going from knowing nothing on day one to feeling confident in your ability to get a job in this exciting field.

Comprehensive Laser Course

You do not need to go back to school for two or four years to make a change. Our comprehensive laser course can be accessed from the comfort of your own home, using your computer or even your phone. You’ll receive a combination of online classroom laser training and hands-on clinicals with a variety of instructors and live demonstrations across several hours on each modality, including Laser Hair Removal, Photofacial, Laser Skin Rejuvenation, Radiofrequency Skin Rejuvenation, CoolSculpting, Tattoo Removal, Radiofrequency Skin Tightening, and Microneedling. Hands-on clinical training then takes place at one of our nationwide locations, or you can opt to take an entirely online course instead.

By the end of our comprehensive laser program, you’ll be able to:

• Recognize the unique characteristics of a cosmetic client
• Understand the fundamentals of how a laser interacts with skin tissue
• Explain how different types of light-based devices interact with the skin in nonsurgical procedures
• Identify safety issues and complications, and recognize contraindications for various cosmetic laser treatments
• Determine which types of laser treatments will create the desired results for your clients
• Understand the hazards associated with cosmetic lasers and how to avoid them
• Demonstrate proper technique and safe operation of laser and pulsed light devices
• Explain the benefits, expectations and results associated with several laser devices
