always wanted to do laser tattoo removal treatments?

Does this sound like you?

  • You already deal with people with tattoos, maybe some of the work you see is outdated or faded and you’d like to offer the client a way to refresh their ink, but the existing ink is getting in the way of offering your best work

  • You may own, or work in a great tattoo studio that has a reputation for only offering the best work, now you’re very busy and have money to invest into a good laser and want to re-launch your options including laser tattoo removal as a new service

  • You like the idea of using high-powered lasers that deliver pulses in fractions of seconds and obliterating unwanted ink - changing people’s lives for the good, so they can get a fresh start or perhaps a better-looking tattoo

  • You understand it’s an advanced topic, and you’re ready to tackle the science and physics (simplified of course) specific to lasers for tattoo removal - you may love the idea of learning everything first in theory and then booking a practical day once you know what you want to do with your new-found knowledge

  • You love the idea that you can try out machines and ask questions on a practical day after completing this theory programme (an additional daily fee applies) - and you like the fact your training provider won’t try and sell you a machine but provides a list of pre-approved quality suppliers to contact

  • Are you technically savvy and want to add an extra service to offer your clients - perhaps looking to start with tattoo removal and expand to offer techniques that will speed up the removal process and give clients faster results; you may want to work with both Pico-second and Nano-second lasers

  • You like the idea of learning as many topics as possible, so your CV stands out and makes you more employable by existing laser clinics looking for laser tattoo removal technicians with laser experience and training

take your next step in laser safety learning

Does this sound like you?

  • Are you naturally picking up things that could go wrong, have you got an eye for detail, do you notice a slackening of standards and want to do something about it?

  • You like things to be done to standards and you like that the clinic has protocols and policies and you’re wanting to fill any blanks or gaps by making sure the team are working to the required regulation stating you need to have a laser safety officer (Auckland council and AS/ NZS)

  • You like the idea of setting up a laser safety management programme for the clinic but don’t even know where to start or what is required, you want your colleagues to operate at the highest industry best practice and need something to guide them

  • You like the idea of learning how to do complete and run audits and conduct incident reports to ensure your clinic can be covered in case of a complaint or inspection by health authorities - you like the idea that your clinic is doing everything properly and within the law

  • You have already completed your baseline entry programme (our Laser Tattoo Removal theory programme (LTR) or international equivalent, or Laser Safety programme) and you’re ready to take the next step in the laser safety learning pathway and become a laser health and safety officer (LHSO) which is our version of LSO with inclusion on health laws as they relate to laser in NZ


don’t remove lesions that could be malignant

Sound like you?

  • As a laser tattoo removal technician, you may still be learning about the skin anatomy as part of your laser career pathway; however, this training doesn’t include understanding lesions can be hiding in tattoos - you will want to know as much as you can to avoid accidentally lasering off lesions that could be malignant

  • You want to refresh on skin lesions that you are likely to come across in the laser tattoo removal setting, so you can combine your clinical theory training and keen eye to be on the lookout for lesions that might not be suitable to be treated.

  • You love the idea that you have obtained the latest information about melanomas and are ready to inform clients about what to look out for themselves, you will feel more confident having undertaken some refresher awareness training that has been approved by the NZ Society of cosmetic medicine (NZSCM) - where Dr’s earn to be appearance medicine physicians

  • You wish to attend continuing professional development and are hoping to find a fresh, modern and updated programme that will be relevant to your laser tattoo removal career ahead

  • You are open to the fact that laser may be new to you and that you don’t know what you don’t know, and you’d rather add an extra level of training and gain an extra certificate because you like learning and want to do things properly


do you want to Enrol in the most comprehensive programme possible?

Does this sound like you?

  • You like the idea of attending class learning mixed with the self-guided online theory you can pace yourself through and allocate 25 hours (approx.) per week for 16 weeks

  • You want to obtain an official NZQA awarded certificate along with 40 learning credits on your NZQA record of achievement

  • You want to learn everything, laser safety, client care, anatomy and physiology for IPL & laser treatments, laser science as it relates to all treatments, and you want to learn how to do IPL and laser hair removal and skin rejuvenation and laser tattoo removal all in the one programme.

  • It makes sense to put aside 16 weeks of concentrated leanings and pop out with a formally recognised certification for all the hard work and be ready to look for a job or return to the workforce with everything you need to start in a clinic operating a wide range of laser and IPL devices.

  • You know it seems like a big financial commitment, but you’ve calculated that this programme is valued at over $14K worth of learning, and you can access finance through Q card or Humm *terms and conditions apply - see here for full details
