In many cases, you would recommend to undergo 3 to 6 laser sessions, scheduled approximately 4 weeks apart, to achieve the best results.

As skin continues to change due to aging, sun damage, or the development of new hyperpigmentation, maintenance sessions are typically advised every 6 months following the initial treatment series.

You may also choose to enhance your expertise with additional programs in clinical skin care, to learn in-demand skin services.  These include chemical peels, dermaplaning, clinical facials, and microdermabrasion.

Expanding your expertise allows you to broaden your service menu and client base.

Radiofrequency (RF) energy is a type of electromagnetic energy emitted from a machine at a specific frequency, known as radiofrequency. Here’s how it works with the skin: Our skin contains water molecules, and when RF energy is applied, it causes these molecules in the dermis (the skin’s middle layer) to move rapidly. This movement creates friction, which in turn generates heat.

Why do we use RF to heat the dermis specifically?

Consider this: if you visit a sauna or apply a hot pack to your skin, you are primarily warming the outer layer. However, RF energy targets deeper, focusing on the dermis without excessively heating the surface. This precise heating stimulates the dermis, where collagen and elastin – the skin’s key structural proteins – are produced.

How does RF stimulate natural processes to tighten the skin?

The heat generated by RF energy encourages the dermis to ramp up collagen and elastin production. 

Picture a trampoline’s worn fabric mat starting to weave fresh fabric again. This new collagen, developing over time, helps to tighten and refine the skin’s texture, akin to renewing the trampoline’s strength and firmness, while the elastin helps it retain some stretchiness. 

When using high-quality RF modality, the general aim is for 3-5 treatments, one every 10-30 days. This strategic approach allows your client to maximize the cumulative advantages of continuous collagen production. After that, maintenance sessions are recommended. 

Medical Spas: Within these spas, laser technicians and medical estheticians excel in administering non-invasive treatments that rejuvenate and enhance the skin. They encompass personalized skincare consultations, performing advanced facials, utilizing cutting-edge technologies for treatments such as fractional laser and photofacials. This allows them to offer innovative approaches to promote skin wellness. Through their skilled and non-invasive techniques, laser technicians at medical spas contribute significantly to clients’ esthetic journeys, fostering a renewed sense of confidence and beauty.

Plastic Surgery Practices: Some laser technicians and medical estheticians find positions within plastic surgery practices that offer non-surgical cosmetic procedures. In this dynamic and collaborative environment, these professionals seamlessly merge their expertise in skin wellness with the practice’s commitment to esthetic enhancement. Working in parallel to plastic surgeons, they bring a specialized touch to the practice, focusing on non-invasive treatments that complement surgical options or offer alternatives to invasive procedures.

Education and Training: Skin care educators at beauty schools impart knowledge about advanced skin care techniques, product formulations, and cutting-edge treatments. These educators equip future skin care technicians and medical estheticians with the skills needed to perform procedures like laser, RF, microdermabrasion, chemical peels, and advanced facials. By moulding the next generation of skin care experts, cosmetic skin care educators contribute significantly to the growth and excellence of the industry, ensuring the highest standards of care and client satisfaction.

Our Laser Technician Program is flexible, designed to accommodate the balance of life, work, and family commitments. Its hybrid model allows you to study theory online at your own pace before moving on to in-person, hands-on training. 

If you are studying part-time, we recommend dedicating at least 12 hours a week to your program in order to harness cumulative knowledge that will allow you to perform at your best in the program.
