Only trained professionals who specialize in laser hair reduction can safely and successfully remove hair from practically any place on your body. Moreover, most people who specialize in laser hair reduction are also trained in other areas of cosmetic laser technology, such as IPL photofacial skin rejuvenation, radiofrequency skin tightening, and more.
Tara is a cosmetic laser technician who has worked in the aesthetics industry for over ten years. She discusses her fascination with cosmetic lasers and her predictions for the industry’s future.
Tara adds, “There are only so many chemical peels you can do, so I was doing a lot of peels, a lot of microdermabrasion.” There were better solutions, and it wasn’t removing the sun damage as much as I had hoped.
The field of medical aesthetics has grown alongside the advancement of technology. Permanent hair removal has replaced waxing as the method of choice for clients. Photofacials are used to remove sun damage, rosacea, age spots, and other skin discolorations for good, making them obsolete despite the efficacy of chemical peels.
Tara admits, “I was a little apprehensive at first,” when questioned about entering this new industry. I knew a lot of people were getting interested in it, but I still wasn’t sure if I should make the switch. However, I jumped in with both feet.
Increase Your Profits Using Cosmetic Lasers
How can Tara increase her financial stability? She demonstrates this with a specific case. It took her 15 minutes to wax someone’s eyebrows, and she charged $15 an hour for the service. She can put those 15 minutes to better use now that she knows how to give an IPL photofacial to a client who is willing to pay the going rate of $500 for this skin rejuvenation therapy.
Nonetheless, do customers really pay that much attention to that? Absolutely. It’s the going pricing, and with IPL photofacials, customers get beautiful skin for good.
Bookings for my laser services skyrocketed once I started advertising them. I sprung into action and started scheduling appointments for everyone. Regularly, I would get phone calls about it. What’s more, my current customers were overjoyed,” Tara says. “My salary nearly multiplied by four.”
