Aesthetic Laser IN

DISCLAIMER: Most States have no requirements for Physicians to perform these procedures if they are

otherwise licensed in that State. Additionally, some States do have requirements for non-physicians

performing these procedures, but most are non-applicable if working directly under a Physicians supervision in

their practice. Some States have licensing requirements for non-physicians offering these services, but most

State's have none. We are a medical education organization rather than a vocational school and do not track

licensing requirements (if any) in various States. You can call your State Medical Board to check. Take a look

at an article we have that explains the differences between Accredited Training, National Certifications, and

State Licensing (CLICK HERE). These are excellent courses, but it is up to you to determine whether it meets

your own requirements. Aside from any State requirements, the course is equally beneficial to both Physicians

and non-Physicians. Indy Laser Center will also be offering preceptorships after the class for supervised

hands-on clinical instruction for those that need it - see below

DATES: Generally offered twice per year. See the SEMINAR DATES page for the schedule.

FEE: $2800 for Physicians and Non-Physicians. This class is OPEN REGISTRATION TO ALL. This fee

includes the course and all materials, including the NCLC Certification exam. Includes 3 hotel nighgts at the

Renaissance (we book the hotel after your registration), and lunch each day of the course.

DISCOUNTS: $100 discount for registration and prepayment 30 days or more in advance.

15% discount off each, for 2 or more registrations made together.

(On the online registration just choose the course, and then in the remarks section indicate whether

either discount will apply to you - we'll confirm that upon receipt of the registration.)

INHOUSE TRAINING AT YOUR OFFICE: This same program is available onsite at your own office using your

own laser equipment for $3500 plus travel expenses. It is possible to cut it down to 2 days onsite time if you

have your staff complete some of the lectures online first (no additional charge).

COURSE DESCRIPTION: This 3 day program is designed to start from the beginning and cover all of the

principles and concepts involved with cosmetic laser procedures. In this course we do not deal with medical

laser procedures for pathological skin conditions, but emphasize the common aesthetic procedures and

devices used for things such as laser hair removal, skin rejuvenation, pigmented and vascular lesion removal,

laser tattoo removal, skin resurfacing and related aesthetic procedures. We DO NOT cover non-laser

aesthetic procedures such as Botox or Fillers, RF devices, nor other non-laser cosmetic procedures. Our

emphasis in this course is on all of the various lasers and IPL's used for these procedures. Although the

emphasis is on these cosmetic laser procedures, we also discuss the ANSI Laser Safety Standards and what

is required to setup your Laser Safety Program. It includes a half day of hands-on orientation with the typical

types of lasers used for these procedures. We practice on inanimate objects, volunteers, and each other. This

is enough to break the ice and get you started with being familiar with devices, but you'll need additional

clinical experience after the course. We'll discuss easy ways to do this. We are a non-profit organization that is

not affiliated with any one laser company so you get a very good overview of the types of devices used. You

should attend this course prior to purchasing equipment. If needed, we can followup with inhouse training at

your own facility doing clinical procedures with your equipment. This program also includes a 45 minute

session on Business Aspects.

LASERS USED IN THE HANDS-ON DEMONSTRATIONS

For our course in Indianapolis IN, we will use the laser equipment in INDY LASER's well equipped cosmetic

laser clinic. We are not obligated to any one manufacturer. As a result you'll probably get a better range of

devices to work on than if you attended a program supported by a manufacturer (although manufacturers

provide excellent training that is focused just on their devices). We will have available various

representative types of Laser devices. Side by side comparisons are useful to help "break the ice" of

the mystery and show the relevant differences.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

- Describe the anatomy, histology and pathophysiology of the skin as it relates to dermatological laser procedures

· Exhibit an understanding of basic laser biophysics and laser-tissue interactions as it relates to dermatological laser and

light source procedures.

· Discuss laser safety precautions for patient and personnel to include eye safety and regulatory safety requirements,

including administrative and procedural controls.

· Describe patient selection, safety considerations, anesthetic options, management of complications, post-operative care

and procedural techniques for each procedure discussed, to include laser hair removal, pigmented and vascular lesion

removal, treatment of Acne, Skin

Rejuvenation and Skin Resurfacing.

· Explain conceptually how lasers work, and explain the differentiating characteristics of lasers

· Discuss the pertinent energy, optical and fiber concepts that are applicable to medical laser use

· Describe four different types of laser/tissue interactions and explain the importance of thermal confinement to aesthetic

outcome.

· Describe the types of hazards which laser presents to personnel and patients.

· Explain the safety precautions and procedures recommended by ANSI during laser medical procedures to maintain a

safe working environment.

COURSE MATERIALS: Will include PDF copies of all of the slide presentations, copy of the Aesthetic Laser

Procedures Course manual, sample laser safety policies and procedures, a comprehensive listing of laser

manufacturers and suppliers (we take no advertising money), and some sample treatment protocols.

COURSE OUTLINE & FACULTY: 3 Days, 8-5 pm, including the optional NCLC Laser Certification exams the

last day. CLICK HERE for an outline and Faculty Information.

ACCREDITATION: This program is approved by the California Board of Registered Nurses (CBRN) for 26.7

contact hours (CEU's). We have not applied for Category I CME approval because we use examples of many

specific types of laser devices identifiable by brand of laser (though we are not affiliated with any

manufacturer). This device specific illustration in our training precludes Category I approvals, but the program

may be submitted by the individual physician for Category II CME approval. We believe that it is more

imporant to see specifics of equipment and how it is used rather than the Category I credit.

NCLC LASER CERTIFICATIONS: Certification is a Professional Credential that sets you apart from the rest.

At the option of the attendee, at the end of this course you will qualify to take the NCLC Laser Certification

exam, and may do so at no charge. We will have an intensive review session just prior to the testing. With

some exceptions for non-physicians, these Certifications are NOT a requirement for doing laser procedures

but are instead a professional credential that sets you apart from other providers. These Certifications are

offered through the separate non-profit National Council on Laser Certification. You may complete the

application form at the time of the course. You should download and read the Certification Handbook about

the requirements for the various Certifications, available at www.LaserCertification.org

PRECEPTORSHIPS: Indy Laser Center will be offering a separate supervised clinical preceptorship

immediately following the seminar for those that need such additional clinical training. This is offered

exclusively to those who have first attended the 3 day seminar, or have completed the online Aesthetic Laser

& Light Based Procedures course. For those wishing more hands-on clinical instruction, a separate 1-3 day

preceptorship is offered immediately after this course by Indy Laser. It's $1500 for one day which may

be sufficient, or if you want 1 or 2 more days it's an additional $1000 per day. Call us to add you. Payment will

be directly to Indy Laser for this additional clinical preceptorship.
