This two day course meets ANSI requirements for “Laser Recurrency Training”, recommended annually but at a minimum every five years. Includes review and exams on both Laser Safety and Aesthetic Lasers.
Electrology
Electrology is a medically-based cosmetic procedure that utilizes electricity to permanently remove hair from the body. A small probe (like a fine needle) inserts into hair follicles which are then destroyed by heat generated from electrodes. Treatment usually causes minimal discomfort; any redness, bumpiness or tenderness should subside shortly afterward. Electrology treatments can be carried out in various settings including salons, spas and dermatology offices.
Electrology treatments may also be provided by licensed dermatologists; however, many prefer visiting a trained and certified electrologist instead due to specific areas that cannot be treated by lasers as well as specific hair types like gray or blonde that only electrology can remove. Furthermore, electrologists offer tailored plans specifically for each client so as to provide maximum effectiveness with treatment plans tailored specifically for them and achieve the best possible results for them.
An electrology program typically lasts 320 clock hours to complete, and students must pass a board exam in order to become certified professional electrologists. For maximum success in passing this examination, it is vital that they enroll in an accredited program with experienced instructors – aesthetic colleges which offer these courses provide both theoretical and practical education to help start off a successful career as an electrologist.
Students who complete an electrology course can begin a career in beauty as electrologist or laser hair removal technicians. This program equips students with all of the knowledge and experience needed to work effectively with patients while performing various procedures using cutting-edge laser and light technologies.
AML Laser Academy’s comprehensive course offerings also include additional laser and light-based technology courses, such as radiofrequency for tightening and rejuvenation and IPL Premier Laser Course for pigmentation/vascular treatments. Furthermore, AML offers aesthetic procedures like dermaplaning and microdermabrasion.
Electrolysis & Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal is a highly popular beauty treatment that can dramatically reduce unwanted hair. This procedure utilizes laser light to damage and weaken hair follicles, limiting their ability to produce new strands over time and leading to thinner and less dense growth of remaining hairs. Results typically tend to be faster with laser removal versus electrolysis treatments but results can differ depending on who receives treatment; both treatments are equally suitable for both women and men alike – when selecting an experienced provider.
Electrolysis is the only FDA-approved permanent hair removal method. The procedure uses an electric current delivered through a probe inserted into each individual follicle of each hair to permanently destroy its root and thus stop future growth. There are three methods of electrolysis – thermolysis, galvanic, and blend. Each works best for different types of hair and skin and can be applied anywhere on your face, body or eyebrows.
Electrolysis typically causes mild discomfort for patients. Electrologists are trained to use minimal force when conducting electrolysis sessions and will never puncture the skin, though some individuals may have more sensitive reactions and experience electrolysis as a pricking sensation or stinging sensation; how many treatments each person requires will depend on individual circumstances.
Laser sessions usually cause less intense discomfort than electrolysis due to only damaging hair follicles; with electrolysis needles penetrating all layers of dermis. Laser treatments last only a few minutes compared with an hour of electrolysis treatments.
Electrolysis and laser treatments may be combined, though it’s best to select one method over the other. Combining treatments may increase discomfort; therefore, selecting an experienced technician who specializes in both fields is ideal. Furthermore, highly sensitive areas of your body, like your face and bikini area should not undergo both procedures at once.
Electrolysis & Laser Tattoo Removal
Lasers have become an indispensable component of modern cosmetic treatments, from permanent hair removal to minimising wrinkles and blemishes. Lasers also play an integral part in treating sun damage and acne scarring – while most people know about laser’s most popular use: permanently eliminating unwanted hair. The treatment works by targeting pigmented follicles with high-energy beams of light which then heat up when hitting said follicle, heating it up until eventually it melts away the hair itself.
Laser hair removal offers an alternative to salabrasion and dermabrasion that does not damage skin over time, plus lasers are faster treatments.
Laser hair removal offers an effective and long-term solution to unwanted hair growth, and is safe for all skin types and colors. They’re particularly good at eliminating darker tattoos which may otherwise be difficult to treat using other means. To make sure it will be suitable for you and your body, it is advisable to visit a dermatologist beforehand and discuss whether he/she offers consultation services before scheduling an appointment.
Laser hair removal should never be attempted over a tattoo as this can damage both its surrounding skin and ink itself. While surgical removal of tattoos may be effective, this procedure requires cutting out and suturing out each individual tattoo ink application – leaving behind scarring in some cases, particularly with those susceptible to keloid scarring.

Electrolysis & Laser Skin Rejuvenation
Are You an Esthetician Looking to Expand and Increase Income Potential with Laser Hair Removal? This course equips estheticians with both theoretical and clinical knowledge necessary for performing safe, effective laser hair removal treatments as well as understanding skin therapies, skincare products and facial treatments.
An electrologist licensed to practice laser therapy can treat acne scars and other blemishes with laser therapy as an alternative to electrolysis treatment, producing more consistent and long-term results than electrolysis alone.
Laser treatments offer safer and less painful hair removal solutions; additionally they even out skin tone more evenly while working well for all skin colors. It is crucial that you understand these differences so you can make the appropriate choice for your client.
Laser treatments are not governed by state laws; however, some states have laws regarding their use and safety. Florida, for example, restricts cosmetic laser procedures to physician offices only and must establish a written laser safety program for any NP or PA performing the procedure. While RNs, LVNs or cosmetologists cannot perform Botox or soft tissue filler injections directly themselves, a doctor may delegate them out at medical spas or aesthetic centers that do not fall under his or her primary practice (provided their supervising physician is present throughout).
Other than safety considerations, electrolysis also involves several other considerations that need to be kept in mind. Electrolysis requires multiple sessions with unpredictable results. Laser treatments may lead to temporary side effects like redness or sunburned sensation, but these should subside shortly afterwards. It may also cause dark spots on treated areas due to damage done to melanin pigment in skin cells.
The 650-hour program covers an array of beauty treatments and encompasses both electrology and laser hair removal techniques (photoepilation). Students who complete it will become eligible to become licensed estheticians or electrologists with high levels of professionalism and technical proficiency.
