Our 780 hour program is ideal for students who want to become a Licensed Aesthetician while earning a dual certification as a Laser Technician. The program curriculum of our 600-hour Natural Aesthetics Practitioner program is combined with the coursework and hands-on training of our 180-hour Laser Technician program. Why choose just one career path? Design your dream at Southwest Institute of Natural Aesthetics.

Once students have completed their aesthetics portion of the program, they are then ready to begin the laser training. Our state-of-the-art program exceeds the stringent requirements of the Arizona Radiation Regulatory Agency (ARRA) by offering the required 40 hours of Laser and Intense Pulse Light training, as well as many hours of clinical observations and hands-on treatments.

The Laser Technician certification program is a combination of lecture, observed procedures, and hands-on training during an internship that offers the student the unique opportunity of training in a real world setting providing services to the public.
