A young woman laying down and studying for a quick career change at National Laser Institute.

Need a new career fast? Maybe you do not have time to do a four-year degree program or go to a two-year technical school. A quick career change into the beauty industry may be right for you. The medical aesthetics field is a booming industry that is only continuing to grow, and we can help you get trained as a cosmetic laser technician. We have had graduates go from being stay-at-home moms or working in retail transition into the corporate side of the beauty industry.

Before going into any new field, you want to make sure you’re choosing something secure. Luckily, opportunities are plentiful in the medical esthetics field no matter where you’re starting from. Job growth for skincare specialists is expected to grow by 9% by 2035, as baby boomers and millennials alike continue embracing various methods of preserving their youth.

The National Laser Institute Experience

Many people worry they do not have the time to train for a new career. To account for our students’ busy lifestyles, we have created a comprehensive online course that can be attended from the comfort of your own home. Our quick career change programs can be completed in just two weeks or less. You can use your computer or even your cell phone to receive a combination of online classroom laser training and clinicals.

Additionally, we also have a variety of highly-experienced and competent instructors, along with live demonstrations with several hours on each modality. Each of our courses is designed with your success in mind.

You will walk away feeling confident in your ability to go into the esthetics industry and build successful and deeply rewarding relationships with your clients. Our wide variety of quick career change programs ensures there is something for everyone, no matter how much time you can dedicate to the program. For example, tattoo removal is one of our shorter, more specialized programs. Moreover, for medical professionals who are looking to expand their income opportunities by joining the beauty industry, we also offer courses in Botox certification and more.

Comprehensive Laser Course

Our comprehensive laser course can be completed as soon as in two weeks or less, depending on how much time you can dedicate. Upon completion, you will be able to join the growing laser technician industry. You will learn about:

  • Treating different skin conditions and types
  • Evaluating skin types using the Fitzpatrick scale
  • Skin physiology and tissue interactions
  • How to perform the consultation process
  • Laser settings and functionalities

All of these are the fundamental building blocks of starting a successful new beauty career. Of course, you will also learn about the most frequently requested laser treatments:

  • Laser hair removal
  • Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) photofacial
  • Body contouring
  • Laser wrinkle reduction
  • Laser skin tightening
  • Radiofrequency (RF) skin tightening
  • Laser tattoo removal

Our comprehensive online courses can be split into two phases: didactic classroom education, which is conducted entirely online, and hands-on training at one of our nationwide locations. Alternatively, you can choose to take the class entirely online — meaning you never have to leave the convenience of your own home.

Looking To Specialize In One Thing?

Many of our students enroll and find that they prefer one treatment over the others. This is not uncommon and nothing to worry about, in fact, this is the perfect industry to pick a specialization. Laser technicians can choose to focus on only doing laser tattoo removal or laser hair removal and still make a good living with a flexible schedule, while also working part-time jobs elsewhere if they choose.

Laser tattoo removal is a popular specialization because sessions are relatively quick and easy to perform — a genuinely lucrative and flexible career path, according to industry experts. This makes it possible to see a large number of clients in a short amount of time, and since clients generally need more than one session for desired results, technicians can count on repeat business for months.

If you prefer more variety in your work, you may want to administer a wide arrangement of cosmetic laser treatments instead. Whatever the case, we have a course that fits your quick career change goals.  Whatever your goals, we have a course designed to help you make a quick career change. Now is the perfect time to enter the booming medical aesthetics industry as a cosmetic laser technician!

A new career in the beauty industry can both maximize your income potential and be deeply rewarding. You will have the chance to develop personal relationships with your clients. Similarly, you can work directly with them to achieve their goals and make their visions come true. The good news is, this is true regardless of how much previous training you may or may not have. Recent graduates and medical professionals alike can all take steps to join the thriving laser technician industry today.
