High standards, reliability and comfort are always factors when choosing a day spa, with a massive dose of the ‘what more can we do?’ attitude as a necessity. A solid reputation and good reviews are also a must, so with these things in mind, shouldn’t the same high standards be expected when choosing an Esthetics Academy? Isn’t it essential that your “Laser Hair Removal School” actually includes training with lasers as a standard part of the core curriculum and not as an add-on or side unit? Shouldn’t students be receiving instruction from those with the highest levels of expertise and experience, and that are extensively qualified in all aspects of laser therapy? Students both need and deserve to have the chance to learn by means of practical experience, instruction in the most up to date facilities (including access to multiple lasers) and through working in an environment that actually IS a fully functioning spa.

The costs for these 8-9 month programs is not cheap; $14,000 plus. If they do elect a school that does not offer lasers what are some of the additional issues that esthetics students are having as they study to become part of the medical esthetics world?

One of the first things that I am aware of when looking at different training schools is the shocking variance in standards between different facilities. It is simply a given that all experience for students should be on-site, and permanent medical staff must be there to help students every step of the way. Medical professionalism in all aspects of the course, whether in the classroom or within the context of practical experience, is of the upmost importance and training in these procedures with teacher stability and reliability follows closely in second place. Students need the opportunity to learn from Instructors that they can trust, not only so they can further hone their skills, but so that they can feel confident and capable with their own growing abilities. Nothing compares to hands on experience, side-by-side with qualified and competent estheticians and medical professionals.

Wouldn’t it be great to find a school where the instructors were involved in the curriculum development? Who would be better qualified to help educate than the writers of the course themselves? Amongst my friends are both estheticians and instructors, it seems that although only half of them are involved in teaching, all would agree that being able to “have a voice” in what was being taught would be an incredible advantage to the students.

An esthetics academy that can really focus on going above and beyond the norm will produce the highest quality students that will also become the most employable. More institutions should be more long sighted in what they are trying to achieve, the role of educator is not one that should be taken lightly, offering only the most comprehensive of courses with an attention to detail will put schools ahead of their competition. Wouldn’t it be great to see more curriculum hours and better facilities at our medical esthetics schools.

Elase Academy is one such Esthetics Academy that offers a complete solution to these problems, no need to find a separate laser hair removal school with additional costs.
