As this is an advanced qualification requiring heavy machinery handling, we keep our class sizes small. This is to ensure our students are kept safe throughout their training and to allow for individual attention and support from class tutors.
At the London School of Beauty and Make-Up, we want to prepare our learners for the professional environment, so we use industry-leading laser equipment for training.
Students can access the best laser equipment, such as the Alma Soprano ICE and the Alma Harmony XL Pro.
Once you have completed this popular training course, students can work as laser therapists in aesthetic clinics, salons, and spas that offer laser hair removal and skin rejuvenation treatments.
You may also find that the course sparks your interest in advanced aesthetics and pursue further Level 4 and 5 advanced aesthetic training.
