For you if

This combined route is for learners who want to develop skills in both laser hair removal and laser and IPL skin rejuvenation. It is a focused way to broaden your treatment knowledge, with the shared foundations taught together and additional learning specific to skin rejuvenation.

Already booked onto Laser Hair Removal? Send me a message about adding Skin Rejuvenation before your training starts, and we will agree the dates between us.

  • You want both laser hair removal and skin rejuvenation
  • You want two Level 4 qualifications rather than one
  • You want to understand the science, not just operate a machine

Not for you if

You are looking for manufacturer training on one particular device. This is a regulated qualification in the science and the practice, and you will still need device-specific training for the equipment you use.

You want injectables. I do not teach them, and this is skin and laser work.

The curriculum

What you'll learn.

Specialist training should tell you why a treatment is suitable, how it works, and when it should be adapted or avoided. You will connect the science with consultation, assessment and planning.

Laser and IPL science
  • How laser and IPL interact with the skin
  • The role of different target chromophores
  • How wavelength, fluence and pulse duration influence treatment
  • Why different skin concerns require different approaches
Consultation and skin assessment
  • Taking a relevant medical and treatment history
  • Assessing skin characteristics and treatment suitability
  • Identifying contraindications and managing expectations
  • Recognising when to defer treatment or refer a client
Safe treatment planning and practical skills
  • Preparing the client, equipment and treatment area
  • Patch testing and planning an appropriate treatment approach
  • Delivering treatments under supervision
  • Monitoring skin response and recognising adverse reactions
  • Providing aftercare and maintaining treatment records
What you can treat, and what you cannot
  • Uneven pigmentation
  • Superficial vascular concerns
  • Fine lines and the appearance of photoaged skin
  • Assessing each client individually, and the limitations of the treatment
  • Recognising concerns that fall outside your scope of practice

Why the science comes first
Manufacturer training teaches you a device. This qualification teaches you the knowledge and the practical skill behind the treatment, which is what travels with you.

Sarah, founder and trainer

Who teaches it

Learn in a working specialist clinic.

You train with me, in my own skin and laser clinic. Across the combined pathway you explore Diode, Alexandrite, Nd:YAG and IPL, and how their uses differ between hair removal and skin rejuvenation.

How your training works.

Your online learning comes first and is finished before you arrive. On its own this is two days in the clinic. Taken alongside Laser Hair Removal it is four days in total, which is one day more than the laser course by itself.

On successful completion of the assessment and quality assurance process you achieve the VTCT Skills Level 4 Award in Laser and Light Treatments for Skin Rejuvenation. It is a separate Level 4 qualification, alongside your Hair Reduction award.

  1. The theory, online

    Laser and IPL science, consultation and skin assessment, and safe treatment planning. You work through it at your own pace and finish it before your clinic days.

  2. Practical days in the clinic

    Supervised treatment on real clients. You take the consultation, assess the skin, plan the treatment and deliver it, with me beside you while you do it.

  3. Assessment, in the clinic

    Your practical assessment happens on the same clinic days rather than as a separate trip back. Both qualifications are assessed across the four days when you take the combined route.

Choose your Advanced pathway.

Both routes end with the same two Level 4 qualifications. The difference is only whether you already hold a Level 3 that gets you in, and I check that with you before you book.

What our graduates say

In their own words.

Questions

Before you enrol.

If your question is not here, ask it on the call. It comes straight to me.

Can I book Skin Rejuvenation on its own?

Yes. On its own it is £1,200 + VAT over two days in total, and it is available by enquiry, so send me a message or book a call and we will sort the dates between us. Most people take it alongside Laser Hair Removal instead, because it is £500 + VAT and one extra day that way.

I'm already booked onto Laser Hair Removal. Can I add it?

Yes. Send me a message about adding Skin Rejuvenation for £500 + VAT before your training starts, and we will agree your attendance dates and arrangements together.

Can I come back and do it after finishing Hair Removal?

You can. Booking the two together is cheaper and it is one extra day rather than two, so it is worth deciding before you start if you can. If you have already finished, the standalone course is the route back.

Do I need Level 3 Anatomy & Physiology?

I assess your existing qualifications individually. If you need that foundation to meet the entry requirements, the Fast Track Advanced pathway includes it.

Is this manufacturer machine training?

No. Manufacturer training teaches you how to operate one specific device. This qualification develops your understanding of laser and IPL science, consultation, skin assessment, safe treatment planning and treatment delivery. You still need device-specific training for whatever equipment you use in practice.
