Hair growth is a normal part of life, yet it can often make us uncomfortable or insecure. Luckily, there are non-invasive solutions such as laser hair removal for unwanted hair growth.
At FAMA, our students learn hair removal via hands-on instruction from experienced instructors. Once completed, graduates are eligible to sit the electrologist licensing exam and become licensed as cosmetic laser technicians in Florida.
Year-Round Beach Weather
Florida boasts year-round warm temperatures and beautiful beaches, making it the ideal environment for permanent hair removal treatments and experienced skin care specialists to thrive. More people than ever before are opting for permanent hair removal treatments in this state and demand is steadily growing for skilled specialists.
Florida is projected to experience a 23% surge in skin care specialist needs between 2012-2022 (O*Net, 2016), increasing demand for laser hair removal technicians throughout the state. As such, Florida residents looking for such specialists are in great need!
Never will a month pass without crowds at the beach, yet there are certain times of year that tend to be less packed than others. Walt Disney World typically sees its peak season from mid-August through October; however, you still have ample chances to visit their theme park during other months. Meanwhile, Naples and Fort Myers provide ideal spots to soak up some sun without the summertime crowds, offering opportunities like Ten Thousand Island Jet Ski Eco Tours and exploring mangrove tunnels – providing plenty of sunshine without crowdedness!
State-Licensing Requirements
Contrary to shaving, waxing and depilatory creams that only offer temporary relief of unwanted hair growth while often irritating skin, laser hair removal offers a permanent solution. Following just a series of treatments, hair growth slows down significantly before eventually ceasing completely, giving you flawless, swimsuit-ready skin all year round.
Before embarking on a career as a laser hair removal technician, however, you will first need to become certified. Electrologists in each state must meet specific criteria in order to practice laser and light-based hair removal – such as completing an approved 320-hour training program; passing the IBEC Electrology, Laser, and IPL Exam; and securing a professional electrology license.
Florida’s stringent standards for licensing electrologists and laser technicians help to ensure clients receive safe and effective treatment, with optimal results. A skilled hair removal technician with experience working on different skin tones can make all the difference in ensuring laser treatments deliver their intended effects.
At FAMA, we have designed an intensive laser and light-based hair removal training program that fulfills all state licensing requirements for electrologists in Florida. Our students graduate having acquired both theoretical and practical understandings of laser hair removal technology; as licensed electrologist professionals themselves.
Students also learn to operate a Candela GentleMax Pro laser, one of the industry’s most widely-used models, for hair reduction on bodies, faces, arms, legs and backs. This cutting-edge machine offers safe, efficient and highly effective ways to remove unwanted hair on bodies, faces, arms legs and backs.

Skillful Techniques
Hair growth is a natural part of life that occurs throughout most parts of our bodies, yet unwanted body hair growth may make people uncomfortable or insecure. There are various methods available for removing unwanted body hair such as shaving, waxing and plucking; however these solutions often aren’t effective or long-lasting so some individuals choose laser hair removal in Florida as a more convenient and permanent solution to unwanted body hair removal. Laser hair removal provides safe yet effective treatment options that enable women and men to look their best while eliminating unnecessary body hair growth from various parts of their bodies – just another benefit!
Laser hair removal technicians use medical-grade devices like the Candela GentleLase Pro to permanently damage and weaken hair follicles that produce unwanted hair, stopping their ability to produce new growth. Treatment typically requires multiple sessions over multiple months – usually 4-6. Not only are laser treatments useful for eliminating hair, they can also improve tone and texture by eliminating fine lines, wrinkles, scarring and sun damage on client skin.
Laser hair removal requires excellent concentration skills from its technicians; each hair follicle targeted is damaged by the laser, so they may need to adjust device settings according to each patient to achieve maximum results. With the right skillset and dedication, Florida laser hair removal technicians can become highly profitable businesses while enjoying rewarding careers.
Laser hair removal technicians work in various settings, including salons, spas and doctor’s offices. While most will adhere to regular business hours when employed by physicians or plastic surgeons, late shifts may be required in certain instances if working for either. When managing their own private practices they have more freedom when choosing their work schedule.
To become a laser hair removal technician, an individual must complete an educational program that provides in-depth instruction in this aspect of beauty therapy. Options available to them may include esthetician and master cosmetology programs with laser hair removal as part of their curriculum; alternatively they could enroll in state-licensed electrology training which typically offers both classroom time as well as laboratory training sessions – many states require such certification before performing laser or light based procedures on clients.
Optimal Results
Laser therapy offers more permanent hair reduction and, in some cases, removal than traditional methods like shaving, tweezing or waxing due to targeting pigment within hair follicles to disable them and cause future growth to cease; the results of laser treatments may appear immediately while it could take several weeks for hair follicles to stop producing new hair growth.
To achieve optimal results, clients should refrain from plucking or waxing the area for six weeks prior to laser treatment, and avoid sun exposure as well. Furthermore, patients will require multiple sessions of laser treatments in order to reduce unwanted hairs that remain. During this process they may experience side effects like skin irritation and mild swelling as a result.
Clients in Florida seeking laser hair removal will benefit from visiting a clinic that employs highly qualified technicians, and who meet state-approved qualifications as well as having extensive experience using Candela GentleMax Pro laser system. Furthermore, the ideal clinic should possess multiple machines capable of treating large body areas such as legs, arms, chest, back and abdomen.
An effective way for Florida residents to gain the experience required for laser hair removal technician certification is through attending an approved electrology school that offers laser hair removal training programs like FAMA Institute’s fully accredited program, which combines classroom learning with hands-on practice at its on-site clinic. FAMA academy instructors possess years of industry expertise and provide students with guidance tailored to them individually.
Once licensed, laser hair removal technicians can work at numerous salons and spas as well as opening their own private practice. Aside from offering laser hair removal services, these technicians may provide other cosmetic procedures like microdermabrasion, electrolysis and tattoo removal; in addition to helping their customers find alternatives to shaving. Such techniques may save both time and money over the long haul by cutting down on razor blades or waxing appointments.
