Comprehensive Course for Cosmetic Laser and IPL training
Scheduling a Laser & IPL Course
We've learned from experience that a truly successful cosmetic laser training course has to be hands-on. Because of that we will open a class with as few as two students and with a maximum of six. Many of our students come from all over the country and make a mini-vacation out of the laser training course by spending time in San Francisco or elsewhere in California!
Classes already scheduled for 2008:
-
February 8–9
April 11–12
June 13–14
September 12–13
November 7–8
