Core of Knowledge
This course is designed for any level practitioners planning on working with or buying a Class 3 laser and above for any use in aesthetic or medical procedures. We provide a comprehensive insight into various topics related to lasers. This includes an overview of their mechanism, safety and hazard management.
The course is a precursor to anybody wishing to study the applications of individual laser or light based equipment training, and is often a requirement for insurers, as it shows a dedication to client safety.
Several topics are covered and some product information included. There is a theoretical assessment to be completed online to give evidence of understanding . This also forms part of a wider modular training program that advances to other therapies and products.
Course Description
The syllabus is based on the The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), suggested syllabus which was proposed following the de-regulation of cosmetic and aesthetic lasers back in 2010, in the consultation document “Guidelines for the safe use of lasers, intense pulsed light sources and LED’s in medical and dental practice”
This course serves to cover that syllabus, with practical advice and tips for safe and efficient practice.
In the Health Education England recent guidance on Non-surgical cosmetic procedures, several reports were compiled aimed at “improving and standardising the training available to practitioners who carry out hair restoration surgery and non-surgical cosmetic procedures, such as botox, chemical peels and laser hair removal.” Their suggestions include CoK as a basic principle of any laser user’s education
Many topics are taught alongside product information. At the end, individuals are tested with theoretical assessment that are to be completed. This also forms part of a wider modular training program that advances to other therapies and products.
