What's included in this course?

Lasers, IPL, and LEDs are not "advanced" because they are trendy (they are advanced because the margin for error is real). This course gives licensed skin professionals a safety-first foundation you can use anywhere in the U.S.

Scope + safety first

Understand core concepts, contraindications, and protocols that protect clients (and your license).

Laser, IPL, and LED clarity

Learn what each modality does, when it helps, and when it absolutely does not.

Spot risk before it spots you

Build the habit of screening, documentation, and client communication that holds up under pressure.

Practice with confidence

Leave with a practical framework you can apply across devices and state regulations.
