You can tweeze them, wax them, shave them or…. just laser them off. Laser hair removal is a technique that removes hair virtually pain-free.
Laser hair removal training is creating a buzz in the beauty industry as many people go for this method of hair removal nowadays because of its effective, lasting results for stubble-free, baby smooth skin. It is the most advanced, therefore one of the most expensive methods for hair removal.
Providing a lucrative increase in salary for many beauty therapists, the world of laser hair removal technology has progressed to a significant level over the last few years as laser hair removal is now successfully carried out on darker skin tones and all hair types.
There are many other benefits than removing hair with laser hair technology, such as preventing ingrown hairs forming (that can end up resulting in boils and abscesses) and razor bumps.
How does it work?
Laser hair removal works by beaming a highly concentrated laser light on the affected area. The melanin pigment in the hair follicle absorbs this light and the pulse of light effectively destroys the root, which in turn destroys the hair and no more hair can grow from that root. The best thing about this type of targeted treatment is that it does not damage any of the surrounding cells. Which makes it an ideal choice for those who need long-lasting hair removal without the long-lasting side effects that can sometimes accompany it.
Are you a beauty therapist looking to scale up in your career in an exciting field?
When customers are looking to get laser hair removal treatments done, they go to someone they trust. The way they determine this is by seeing if the beauty therapist has the right credentials and qualifications to be able to carry out the procedure effectively. At the end of the day, the customer will seek safety above all, even if you know you can perform the procedure. You need to be qualified to show the customer that you’re qualified and more importantly be assessed that you can perform the procedure.
Why do I need the qualification?
The regulatory body states that all therapists wishing to carry out laser or IPL treatments must have the Level 4 qualification by 2018. This will be a mandatory requirement by 2018.
Due to the number of cases from laser burns, most reputable and reliable insurance companies are insisting that a laser therapist must have this qualification. Also, most boroughs in London along with a number of boroughs outside of London are now regulating Laser and Skin clinics, ensuring all users of Laser machines have a Level 4 qualification.
