Career Opportunities

Beyond the Basics

The esthetician’s role in the cosmetic industry is expanding. Traditional esthetics has branched out into the cosmetic laser industry. Laser hair removal certification classes are being offered because of the high demand for this, as well as other cosmetic laser certifications. The many cosmetic laser procedures being performed in spas and laser centers across the country have created a need for trained estheticians. Estheticians are seeking laser tattoo removal certification classes as well as laser hair removal certification.  Social media such as Facebook, TikTok,  Instagram, X, and even Pinterest are exploding with laser cosmetic procedure chatter.  The savvy clients are demanding industry-standard technology in the anti-aging realm that goes beyond the scope of the traditional facials, microdermabrasion, and peels, which are all part of traditional esthetic training.  IPL, Yag, and Alexandrite lasers for hair removal and pigment removal, Q-switched laser technology for tattoo removal, are all being requested and sought after by the educated client. Advanced laser certification training for estheticians opens a broad spectrum of employment opportunities to the presently licensed esthetician.  Advanced medical aesthetic centers will seek qualified estheticians with the Master Esthetician License to accommodate the influx of demanding clients.

Changing Trends in Laser Training

Often, the esthetician would receive training from either a sales representative from a laser company or another esthetician in the laser center. This method of laser training may teach the esthetician basic laser operation, but it does not guarantee didactics in patient selection, dermatopathology, or pre and post-laser care. A void in these essential components of laser education, as well as other evolving advanced esthetic procedures, leaves much to be desired, ultimately affecting patient care and results. Without an established advanced laser training curriculum, inconsistencies in the didactic and laser operations are more likely to occur.

Master Esthetician Training

In response to the need for further education, Washington Laser Institute has developed a curriculum based on the  Washington Esthetic Law which has been approved by DOL.  Endorsed by several esthetic schools in the state, our laser training curriculum, upon successful completion, qualifies the esthetician to take the NIC-administered Written and Practical Master Esthetician Examination. Upon obtaining a passing grade on both written and practical on the Master Esthetics Examination, the esthetician can be issued a  Master Esthetician License by the Washington State DOL.
