Laser Tattoo Removal Course Syllabus – Day 2

Sunday, January 25th, 2009

Here is a continuation of the description of the day-by-day syllabus of our laser tattoo removal training course. Day 2 offers a explanation of key elements of laser tattoo removal – understanding the skin, tattoo removal equipment, plenty of before, after, and during pictures of tattoo removal procedures and examples, and opportunities for our tattoo removal training students to practice on real patients.

Morning (9am – 1230pm)
- Skin & Dermatology
- Tattoo Removal Laser & Equipment
- Start of Exploring Tattoo Removal

Lunch Break (1230pm – 130pm)

Afternoon (130pm – 5pm)
- Finish Exploring Tattoo Removal
- How to Conduct a Consultation
- Hands-on Laser Practice
- Tattoo Removal Procedures

The section “Exploring Tattoo Removal” is a key component of our laser tattoo removal training course. During this extensive section, we’ll discuss the energy (fluence) levels that are used during procedures and discuss the side effects of laser tattoo removal. We’ll show you dozens upon dozens of before, during, and after pictures of what a patient’s tattoo will look like during treatment. There is few things more instructive than for our laser training students to be able to know what to expect when they have their own patients at their own clinic. You’ll know that a blister can be very small or quite large and how to prepare patients for this as well as how to advise them to take care of this common but simple side effect. You’ll be exposed to picture of hypo-pigmentation and hyper-pigmentation and instructions on how to deal with these conditions. You’ll see stubborn tattoos that aren’t easily removed and be able to advise patients on whether or not laser tattoo removal is a suitable treatment for their tattoo.

Which Tattoo Removal Lasers for my Tattoo Removal Clinic?

Saturday, January 3rd, 2009

Some people call New Look Laser College asking for advice on which tattoo removal laser to buy for their tattoo removal clinic. We are happy to share our thoughts on this important decision. We’d love for these people to attend our course, but we are happy to give information about laser tattoo removal to anyone who asks! Tattoo removal is our passion and we are happy to share what we’ve found out over the years.

The chief instructor of New Look Laser College can speak to a range of tattoo removal lasers, including the Astanza Trinity and Astanza Duality, Cynosure Affinity QS, Hoya ConBio Medlite C6 and RevLite, Palomar Q-YAG-5, Chinese-made lasers, used tattoo removal lasers, and many others. Please call New Look Laser College, the leader in laser tattoo removal training with your questions about tattoo removal lasers. We will be happy to discuss this with you!

New Look Laser College’s laser

Sunday, July 13th, 2008

Students often call and ask us what laser we use for laser tattoo removal training. We are proud to use Astanza Laser’s Trinity and Duality tattoo removal lasers. These systems are both q-switched systems, with the Trinity being the only Nd:YAG and Ruby tattoo removal lasers available in the United States. The Duality is a very effective Nd:YAG system with the traditional 1064nm and 532nm wavelengths needed to remove most tattoos.

The Affinity QS and Medlite C6/RevLite are less capable machines, but reasonable effective at removing tattoos. They put the same amount of energy through the handpiece, use the same wavelengths produced in the same way, and are used exclusively for tattoo removal (and a few dermatological procedures for removing other kinds of pigment in the skin). The Medlite C6 does have a more attractive beam profile (top-hat/flat-top) compared to the Affinity QS (gaussian beam profile), but is somewhat cumbersome to operate.
