Foundations of Aesthetic Lasers
Aesthetic laser treatments have expanded into many specialties with a broad spectrum of clinical
applications continuing to evolve. This comprehensive full day, 8-hour course is intended for physicians,
nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurses and other health care professionals.
The purpose of this course is to provide the practitioner with an introduction to the basic science of
aesthetic laser physics. A detailed review of the clinical application of lasers and essential information
about safety standards, precautions and procedures will be covered. In an interactive lecture format,
we will discuss the concepts of light and the electromagnetic spectrum, how laser light is produced and
how lasers affect tissue. There will be a review of wavelengths and types of lasers: intense pulsed light,
radiofrequency and other light sources. These key basic concepts will help practitioners understand
the clinical applications of laser technology with regards to a variety of patient procedures including:
indications, contraindications, specific treatments, follow up care, side effects and complications. The
afternoon session will provide both interactive discussion and demonstrations of select laser systems and
applications.
Laser safety training is required for all personnel who operate or work with lasers. A review of
the suggested ANSI policies and procedures with regards to personnel and patient safety will help
practitioners establish a safe laser program for their practice. A discussion of new technologies including
laser assisted lipolysis, home hair removal systems and other emerging trends will also be addressed.
