Diploma in Laser & Intense Pulsed Light Treatments

Why should you train in IPL Therapy

• Do you feel confident using your IPL Machine?
• Do you need to upskill to this popular modality?
• Do you know what to and what not to treat?
• Are you using your machine to it’s best capabilities?
• Do you feel your treatments are ‘hit and miss’?

Many therapists have IPL machines in their clinics with little training to back it up. This is a fabulous new modality for therapists but can be extremely hazardous in the wrong hands. This course will give you the confidence to know when and what to treat, when medical permission is sought and what quantifiable results you and your clients can expect.
IPL treatments are a step up from conventional Beauty Therapy, therefore the training you receive whould reflect this.
