The "Core of Knowledge" information covered in the above syllabus is based on the Department of Health's MHRA document "Guide to Safe use of Lasers, Intense Pulsed Light and LED's in Medical, Dental and Cosmetic Practice".
The training has been developed by experienced laser practitioners, but is presented in a simple way. No prior knowledge of Lasers or Intense Pulsed Light devices is required, as the structured format will take users through the topics, and bring everyone to the required level. Many diagrams, photographs etc are used to illustrate the theory.
In addition to the "Core of Knowledge" extra topics are covered concerning the theory behind the most common laser/IPL aesthetic treatments, the optimum laser wavelengths and IPL filters that should be used in various circumstances. Client skin typing is also covered, including a numerical scoring system to determine the correct skin type, prior to laser or IPL use.
