Upon successful completion of the IBEC exam, the student will be a licensed Electrologist and Certified Laser hair removal Technician.

What Makes FAMA Different

What sets FAMA apart from other aesthetic institutions is its hand-on approach and guidance provided by practicing instructors with more than 15 years’ experience. Your laser hair removal technician training will help you reach your goal of becoming licensed in electrolysis. You’ll spend time in the classroom learning the history and science behind hair removal, then you’ll apply that knowledge through training in FAMA’s on-site clinic using state-of-the-art technology. Our morning classes held Tuesday-Friday will also allow you time to work while you’re continuing your education.

Program Overview

The program curriculum delves into the different methods of electrolysis, including Thermolysis, Galvanic Electrolysis, and Blend Method. Your classroom sessions will cover the physiology of skin tissue and the functions of the endocrine system since it’s linked to abnormalities that cause excessive hair growth. Students spend most of their time in the electrolysis training program in clinical labs working hands-on with electrolysis and laser hair removal equipment where they apply the lessons learned in the classroom under the careful guidance of an experienced instructor.

“This is a growing profession that offers graduates the opportunity to work in a medical office, aesthetic practice, or laser center.”
