This advanced course focuses on the complete spectrum of pigmentation, with a strong emphasis on laser and energy-based treatment selection, risk management, and long-term control. Students will learn how to assess, differentiate, and treat pigmentation using Cutera Excel V+ (532 nm), Excel HR (755nm) Cutera Enlighten III across multiple wavelengths, and Sciton BBL and MOXI.

The curriculum covers solar lentigines, freckles, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, mixed epidermal and dermal pigment, and melasma. Students will gain a deep understanding of pigment depth, melanin absorption, inflammatory triggers, hormonal influence, and skin type risk.

MOXI is introduced as a controlled, non-ablative fractional option for pigment modulation, texture refinement, and overall skin quality improvement, with clear discussion around parameters, tissue interaction, and safety. Students will learn when pigment can be treated, when it must be managed conservatively, and when laser should be avoided entirely.

This course also includes foundational touch points on other energy-based modalities, providing context and preparation for advanced resurfacing education. Emphasis is placed on inflammation control, rebound pigmentation risk, conservative parameter selection, treatment spacing, and long-term maintenance strategies, particularly in higher Fitzpatrick skin types.

This advanced laser course focuses exclusively on tattoo removal using the Cutera Enlighten III platform. Students will gain a deep understanding of laser–ink interaction across 532 nm, 670 nm, and 1064 nm wavelengths, with emphasis on chromophore targeting, ink fragmentation, pulse duration, fluence, spot size, and treatment spacing.

The curriculum covers professional versus amateur tattoos, ink density, colour composition, depth variation, and skin type risk assessment. Students will learn how to select wavelengths and parameters based on ink colour, tattoo age, and skin tone, rather than relying on preset protocols. Strong emphasis is placed on tissue response, inflammation control, endpoint recognition, and thermal injury prevention.

Safety is central to this course, including contraindications, client education, and complication management This course is designed to produce practitioners who understand why settings are chosen and how to treat tattoos responsibly within a true medical-aesthetic framework.

This advanced laser course focuses on the assessment and treatment of vascular conditions, emphasizing clinical decision-making and appropriate technology selection. Students will gain a thorough understanding of vascular anatomy, hemoglobin absorption peaks, and tissue interaction using 1064 nm and 532 nm wavelengths with Cutera Excel V+, alongside broadband light treatments using Sciton BBL.

The curriculum addresses diffuse redness, telangiectasia, facial vessels, cherry angiomas, and mixed vascular presentations. A key focus of this course is learning when to use a laser versus when to use BBL, based on vessel depth, diameter, distribution, skin type, and inflammatory response.

Studets will learn how pulse duration, fluence, spot size, cooling, and treatment spacing affect vascular outcomes and safety. Emphasis is placed on endpoint recognition, managing inflammation, avoiding overtreatment, and minimizing post-treatment complications across all Fitzpatrick skin types.

This advanced course is dedicated exclusively to fractional and ablative laser resurfacing using NanoPeel and MicroPeel technologies.

Students will study laser–tissue interaction at varying depths, including coagulation versus ablation, fractional density, depth control, energy delivery, and thermal diffusion. The curriculum focuses on patient selection, risk stratification, treatment planning, and safe execution of resurfacing procedures.

Strong emphasis is placed on downtime expectations, complication prevention, post-treatment management, and long-term tissue remodeling. This course is designed for practitioners with existing laser experience who want to advance their clinical judgment and technical skill in resurfacing treatments

This course focuses on collagen stimulation and tissue remodeling using SkinPen and Cutera Secret RF. Students will learn the differences between mechanical microneedling and radiofrequency energy delivery, including depth control, thermal zones, and collagen induction pathways.

The curriculum covers treatment parameters, needle depth, RF energy settings, safety considerations, and patient selection. Students will also learn how to safely integrate RF microneedling with laser treatments, including sequencing, spacing, and contraindications.

Emphasis is placed on tissue health, controlled injury, and long-term remodeling, rather than aggressive overtreatment. This course provides practitioners with the knowledge to incorporate RF microneedling responsibly into advanced treatment plans.

One-Day Intensive, taught by Amanda Connolly

This one-day intensive course is focused entirely on mastering the advanced laser consultation. Taught personally by Amanda Connolly, the course draws from over two decades of clinical experience and the consultation frameworks, documentation systems, logs, and treatment planning methodologies she has developed and taught over the years.

Students will learn how to properly assess the skin, identify primary versus secondary concerns, evaluate laser candidacy, and determine appropriate treatment sequencing. The curriculum covers expectation management, informed consent, contraindication screening, charting, documentation, and long-term treatment planning.

This course emphasizes ethical consultations, clear communication, and clinical integrity, ensuring both patient outcomes and provider liability are protected. It is designed to elevate consultations from a conversation into a structured clinical process.
