EXPERT INSTRUCTOR

The "Lasers: Tattoo and Hair Removal" course offers an in-depth exploration of laser-assisted treatments, combining theoretical insights with practical knowledge. Presented by Dr. Anthony Rixon, an expert in cosmetic and skin medicine, this program is divided into three units:

Unit 1: Laser-Assisted Tattoo Removal
This unit examines the science behind tattoo removal, including:
- Tattoo Types: Understanding amateur, professional, cosmetic, traumatic, and medical tattoos.
- Ink Properties: How pigment density, particle size, and placement affect treatment outcomes.
- Laser Technology: Exploring Q-switch and picosecond lasers for safe and effective tattoo removal.
- Patient Care: Guidelines for pre-treatment preparation, managing complications, and post-operative care.
- Advanced Techniques: Addressing challenging pigments like reds, greens, and whites, and preventing paradoxical tattoo darkening.

Unit 2: Laser-Assisted Hair Removal
Focusing on the fundamentals of hair removal, this unit includes:
- Hair Growth Cycles: The role of anagen, catagen, and telogen phases in laser efficacy.
- Laser Physics: Mechanisms of photothermolysis for selective hair follicle destruction.
- Technology Insights: Comparing Alexandrite, Nd:YAG, and diode lasers for different skin types and hair densities.
- Safety Protocols: Ensuring patient safety with laser plume extraction, eyewear, and test patching.
- Practical Applications: Optimising settings for coarse and fine hair, preventing complications, and managing patient expectations.

Unit 3: The Science of Lasers
Dive into the foundational principles of laser technology:
- Laser Physics: Understanding wavelengths, pulse durations, and energy settings for targeted treatments.
- Melanin and Skin Interaction: Leveraging pigment absorption to minimise damage to surrounding tissues.
- Safety Measures: Best practices in handling Class 4 lasers and preventing adverse effects.
- Innovative Technologies: Exploring advancements in laser systems and their applications in aesthetic medicine.

With interactive case studies, assessments, and expert guidance, this course prepares you to deliver precise, effective, and safe laser treatments, empowering you to meet the growing demand in the cosmetic market.

What your colleagues say

"I would recommend this course as an important addition to self-directed learning in dermatoscopy. It was an invaluable course to gain the diagnostic tools, knowledge and confidence in managing skin cancer. The course was professionally conducted with excellent presentations."

- L. Suntesic Nurse

"Excellent! This is a great course that has helped me diagnose many more subtle, early skin cancers especially melanoma in situ. The course was clearly presented, with good pictures and course book. All HealthCert's skin cancer courses have been hugely valuable to my practice!"

- R. Mundell Nurse

"An excellent course introduction to dermoscopy and relating what you see to the histopathology and applying this in clinical practice. Great lectures and supporting materials."

- S. Jan Nurse

"I really enjoyed the level of learning. It is very rewarding to know that I am potentially saving lives. Recently I volunteered with the Lions Cancer Institute for two days, and we screened 158 patients, detected 38 possible melanomas and 83 keratinocyte skin cancers. It was a very successful and rewarding two days, and something I could do confidently because of my learning from this course."

- K. Laverty Nurse

"I highly recommend this course. I increased my knowledge and developed confidence in using dermoscopy and in diagnosing melanoma and other skin lesions. Every skin lesion I see means so much more now that it has a name. Great involvement from various skin cancer experts and great videos and reference materials."

- P. Ishri Nurse
