In Week 2, we meet in person to review case studies and participate in our practical skills lab. By the end of the course, students will be CPR certified and possess the knowledge and skills needed for various aesthetic treatments, ensuring safe, effective, and ethical practice in medical aesthetics. They will earn certificates for LSO and Senior Laser Hair Removal Technician, with the option to test for their Professional Laser Technician certification.
