Course Curriculum

What you'll learn in the Laser Tattoo Removal certificate.

This curriculum covers every dimension of professional laser tattoo removal — from the physics of how picosecond technology shatters ink to live treatment sessions on real clients with the PicoSure Pro.

Laser Physics & Skin Interaction

Foundational laser science for tattoo removal — how picosecond vs. nanosecond technology works, selective photothermolysis targeting tattoo pigments, chromophore interaction with ink particles, and the photoacoustic mechanism that shatters ink without excessive thermal damage.

PicoSure Pro Device Operation

Comprehensive hands-on training with the PicoSure Pro — device setup, lens array selection, fluence and repetition rate calibration, treatment head management, maintenance protocols, and safe operation standards required for professional clinical practice.

Skin & Tattoo Assessment

Clinical evaluation of tattoo characteristics — ink colors, density, age, depth, and composition. Fitzpatrick skin type classification for tattoo removal parameters, identification of contraindications, and structuring effective multi-session treatment plans for diverse tattoo types.

Multicolor & Complex Tattoo Protocols

Specialized protocols for treating the full spectrum of tattoo ink colors including difficult-to-remove greens, blues, and yellows — leveraging the PicoSure Pro's multiple wavelength capabilities to achieve complete clearance across complex, layered, and artist-dense designs.

Resistant & Previously Treated Tattoos

Advanced treatment strategies for resistant tattoos, cover-up work, amateur tattoos with irregular ink deposits, and previously treated tattoos that have not responded to older nanosecond laser systems — a key advantage of picosecond technology training.

Safety Protocols & PPE

Comprehensive laser safety for tattoo removal — protective eyewear specifications, controlled treatment zone protocols, fire and plume hazard management, ANSI and Health Canada laser safety standards, OSHA compliance, and cross-contamination prevention.

Client Consultation & Treatment Planning

Professional intake protocols — medical history screening, contraindication identification, photosensitizer interactions, pregnancy screening, medication review, informed consent documentation, and building realistic multi-session clearing timelines for each client.

Pre- & Post-Treatment Care

Client preparation guidelines, post-treatment wound care, adverse reaction identification and management, blistering and hypopigmentation protocols, sun protection requirements, and follow-up communication standards for professional clinic practice.

Practical Treatments on Real Clients

Supervised in-clinic practical sessions performing live laser tattoo removal treatments on real clients using the PicoSure Pro — across a range of tattoo types, ink colors, body areas, and skin tones, under direct instructor guidance.

Who is the Laser Tattoo Removal course for?

This specialist certificate is for qualified laser-certified estheticians and healthcare professionals ready to add one of the most in-demand and highest-margin services in modern aesthetic medicine.

Laser Hair Removal Certificate Holders

You've mastered laser hair removal — tattoo removal is the next high-revenue expansion. The PicoSure Pro's capabilities in clearing complex, multicolored, and resistant tattoos attract a client demographic that LHR alone doesn't serve. One device, a completely new service category.

Advanced & Medical Esthetician Diploma Holders

Already hold an advanced esthetics or medical esthetics credential? Tattoo removal is a natural service addition to any premium clinic offering. This specialist certificate slots directly into your existing credentials without any overlapping coursework.

Nurses & Healthcare Professionals

Registered and licensed practical nurses with existing laser credentials looking to add tattoo removal as a specialized service — increasingly sought by medical spas, dermatology practices, and private laser clinics across Quebec and Canada.

Medical Spa & Laser Clinic Owners

Laser tattoo removal is one of the fastest-growing segments in medical esthetics — and the PicoSure Pro is the device clients specifically request by name. This certificate gives you and your team the recognized credentials and insurance access needed to offer it professionally.

Estheticians Launching Standalone Practices

Tattoo removal is one of the few aesthetic services with a strong repeat-client model — most complete treatments require 5–10 sessions. For a solo practitioner or small clinic, a loyal tattoo removal client base generates consistent, predictable recurring revenue.

Professionals Seeking a Competitive Edge

PicoSure Pro-certified technicians are comparatively rare in the Canadian market — most clinics still use older nanosecond systems. This certification positions you ahead of the curve, commanding premium rates for superior results that clients increasingly know to look for.

Why New Age Academy

Train on the PicoSure Pro. The device your future clients will ask for by name.

Tattoo removal clients are increasingly educated. They research devices, ask specifically about PicoSure Pro, and choose clinics that use it over those with older nanosecond technology. At New Age Academy, your entire practical training is performed on this device — so you graduate not just certified, but immediately competitive in a market that is moving toward picosecond technology as the standard.

This qualifies you for professional liability insurance and specialist laser tattoo removal roles in medical spas, dermatology clinics, aesthetic centers, and private laser practices.
The PicoSure Pro uses ultra-short picosecond (trillionths of a second) pulses that shatter tattoo ink into microscopic particles through a photoacoustic mechanism — rather than the primarily thermal mechanism of older nanosecond lasers. This results in significantly more effective clearance of difficult colors (greens, blues, yellows), fewer treatment sessions, lower risk of thermal tissue damage, and better outcomes across all Fitzpatrick skin types. It is the device clients increasingly research and request by name before choosing a clinic.
The curriculum covers: laser physics and skin interaction, comprehensive PicoSure Pro device operation, skin and tattoo assessment (Fitzpatrick typing, ink characteristics), treatment protocols for all tattoo colors and types, protocols for resistant and previously treated tattoos, laser safety and PPE, client consultation and treatment planning, pre- and post-treatment care, adverse reaction management, and practical hands-on sessions on real clients. Full details in the course outline here.
Applicants must hold an Esthetics Diploma and a Laser Hair Removal Certificate, or be a practicing nurse. The course is 60 hours total — online theory completed at your own pace over approximately one month, followed by in-person practical sessions at our Montreal or Laval campus. Tuition is $1,995 plus applicable taxes.
The Laser Hair Removal course targets melanin in hair follicles for permanent reduction. The Laser Skin Rejuvenation course targets melanin in pigmented lesions, oxyhemoglobin in vascular structures, and water for skin tightening. This Tattoo Removal course targets exogenous pigments (tattoo ink) using picosecond pulse technology — an entirely different mechanism requiring its own specialized training and device expertise. The three courses are complementary and can all be held simultaneously.
Graduates qualify for specialist laser tattoo removal roles in medical spas, dermatology clinics, cosmetic surgery practices, and dedicated laser clinics. You can also launch your own tattoo removal studio or add the service to an existing practice. Tattoo removal has a strong repeat-client model — most treatments require multiple sessions — generating consistent recurring revenue. PicoSure Pro-certified technicians are in comparatively short supply in the Canadian market, creating strong demand for qualified practitioners.
Yes. The online theory component is fully self-paced — complete it on your own schedule over approximately one month. The in-person practical sessions are then scheduled at our Montreal or Laval campus at a time that works for you. Most students complete this certificate without interrupting their current employment.
Yes. Our experienced instructors provide full support throughout — from the online theory phase through to your in-person practical sessions. Small group and one-on-one formats are available, ensuring every student receives direct, personalized guidance on both the technical and clinical aspects of laser tattoo removal with the PicoSure Pro.
