Laser Hair Removal Workshop

Laser Hair Removal Workshop

Learn the theory and technical skills to perform laser hair removal treatments.

Course Overview

This 2-weeks workshop qualifies students for certification in Laser Hair Removal, a procedure considered the gold standard for the permanent elimination of unwanted hair. The program is intended for physicians, mid-level practitioners, and electrologists who want to broaden their areas of expertise and grow their income base.  Upon successful completion of the course and exam, FAMA will issue a Certificate of Completion that qualifies the student to apply to the Florida Electrology Council for a Laser Hair Removal license.

The coursework and clinical labs provide students with both the theoretical knowledge and clinical training necessary to practice laser hair removal safely and effectively. Upon completion of the curriculum, students will have the ability to recognize POS, a condition that causes excessive hair growth. FAMA students will also learn how to assess a patient’s hair removal needs and develop an effective treatment plan using the most appropriate equipment and procedures. And finally, students will be able to administer treatments with a high level of technical proficiency in the use of laser- and light-based hair removal or reduction devices.
