Function

• Laser specialists can do a variety of treatments, including removing unwanted hair, giving facials, performing body treatments and microdermabrasion.
  
  

Schools

• When you begin to look for a laser training program, check the reputation of the school and compare the school's courses with different training programs. The best programs will allow you to practice your laser techniques as you learn and will also help you to find employment after you have completed the program.
  
  

Training

• Programs last from two days to a few weeks. Students may learn about the various types of lasers used, basic hair biology and growth cycles, underlying physics, laser parameters, safety issues, how to categorize skin types and marketing yourself and your services.
  
  

Benefits

• There is also a relative amount of flexibility in these short programs. If you are unable to attend class every day during the week of enrollment, many laser hair removal schools will allow students to make up missed classes in the next round of training sessions.
  
  

Cost

• The cost of a training program depends upon the length of the training. The shorter programs generally run from $200 to $400, and the longer programs cost $3,000 to $4,000.
