“I would highly recommend Esthetic Advisor Laser Academy to anyone who is seeking a beyond excellent education in laser and medical esthetics. I am a graduate of EALA, and I feel that my education far surpasses that of other laser training facilities. I experienced giving state of the art hands on laser treatments at their onsite facility, Cosmo Medspa. I learned advanced techniques, as well as skin biology in a comfortable theatre like setting. Upon graduating, I received assistance with writing a resume and finding employment at an amazing medical facility. I want to thank everyone at EALA for giving me an outstanding education and making my dreams come true!”

“At first, I was torn about which laser school to attend.  After doing some research, the decision was easy. When you write on Esthetic Advisor Laser Academy’s website, the owner, Kris, is the one who responds. She is the one to answer any questions, give you the tour, and she is your main instructor throughout the program. From the first day of my inquiries, I was treated like a person, like a future student, not just another number or name on a list. I loved this school!! The subject matter was covered well, and with our small class size our instructors were able to ensure everyone understood a concept before moving on. During the hands on portion of the course we learned how to successfully perform treatments, how to present pre and post treatment instructions, and how to professionally interact with our clients. I recommend this school to anyone who is interested in a top quality education and more personalized classroom time!!”

“Esthetic Adviser and Laser Academy is an outstanding school. The instructor, Kris Groop is one of my best instructors that I have had through all of my education. She is confident, extremely intelligent, caring women. She teaches everything in a fun and easy way to understand. I had one on one instruction in theory and practical, which you can’t find anywhere! I share my experience and recommend this school to everyone. I can’t wait to attend more of her clinical courses!”

Attendees will also become certified as a Laser Safety Officer (attendees must provide a current CPR card for LSO certification), which may afford the ability to function in that capacity for an organization. AZ Attendees are required by ADHS to take a 50 question test and pass with an 80% or better score.

In order to be eligible for AZ certification as a laser operator by ADHS, graduates of a 40 hour didactic laser course must complete 24 hours of directly supervised permanent hair reduction treatments (a minimum of 10 separate treatments). If a laser operator wishes to perform any other laser treatment in addition to permanent hair reduction, he/she must complete an additional 24 hours of directly supervised hands on cosmetic laser treatments with a minimum of 10 separate treatments per modality (e.g. 10 tattoo removal treatments, 10 IPL treatments, etc.) For those who are not able to complete these treatments under the direct supervision of a medical director, EALA provides an ADHS approved 48 Hour Clinical Laser Operator Course. The 40 Hour Basic Laser Operator Didactic Course and the 48 Hour Clinical Laser Operator Course are offered together as the 88 Hour Comprehensive Laser Operator Course.

The 40 Hour Basic Laser Operator Didactic Course is also available online and in a hybrid format!

PREREQUISITE: There is no prerequisite for this course.
