Laser Tattoo Removal certification — 60-hour PicoSure Pro training in Montreal & Laval.
New Age Academy's Laser Tattoo Removal Certificate is a focused 60-hour specialist program built around the PicoSure Pro — the industry's gold standard in tattoo removal technology. The PicoSure Pro's picosecond pulse technology is capable of clearing complex multicolored tattoos, resistant inks, and previously treated tattoos that older nanosecond lasers cannot effectively address. You train on real clients using this same professional device at our Montreal and Laval clinics.
Upon completion, graduates receive a Laser Tattoo Removal Certificate recognized by insurance companies and employers across Quebec and Canada through CIDESCO and CAMACS accreditation — qualifying you for professional liability insurance and specialist roles in medical spas, dermatology clinics, and aesthetic centers.
Prerequisites: Applicants must hold an Esthetics Diploma and a Laser Hair Removal Certificate, or be a practicing nurse (RN/LPN). No prior tattoo removal experience required.
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.
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.
