Laser & Light Therapy 2 Days Workshop

Lasers represent a form of energy that can be manipulated to accomplish a number of medical procedures from the complex surgical removal of an acoustic neuroma in an operating room(OR) to the less invasive removal of unwanted body hair or facial rejuvenation in a salon or spa. Regardless of the procedure, it is important to understand the properties and safety aspects of laser utilization. This knowledge will enable you to manage a safe and successful laser and light therapy practice. Through a process of thermolysis, Lasers and IPL selectively destroy a specific target. LED's have a much lower energy output and stimulate biological tissue by supporting collagen synthesis, repair, circulation, support the reduction of inflammation, and the appearance of some pigment. Morning study will emphasize: Laser & Light Applications Definition of Laser Physics Energy measurement and delivery The three principal parts of laser construction. The 3 characteristics of laser light. The chromophores tissue reaction and absorption. Characteristics of Laser Light Therapeutic Properties of Lasers Who regulates esthetician licenses and use of laser/light therapy devices.
