Yes. The curriculum includes laser and light-based hair removal physics, safety, and hands-on equipment instruction as part of the overall electrology curriculum.
Electrolysis uses an epilation process applied to individual follicles and is described as permanent hair removal, while laser and light-based devices are generally described as permanent hair reduction. The program teaches the scientific, safety and practical foundations of both approaches.
Applicants must be at least 18 years old and have a high school diploma or GED, among other admissions requirements. International academic documents may require an English translation.
Graduation from the program does not itself grant a license. Graduates must meet all applicable Florida requirements and pass the required examination before licensure can be issued.
