laser hair removal nurse

[cshelly12]

I was just wondering if anyone knew if you need to be an RN to be a laser hair removal nurse and if anyone knows what the pay in California is for one.

would you not just need to be a beauty therapist. Here in the UK you do, not a nurse!

LOL it's called tweezers.

Not funny when it's my goat hair!

BTW, I've purchased many, many tweezers to find that only one pr. works. What's with that? Darn that tweezer industry. They've made a fortune off of me.

I have a friend that went in yrs. ago for electrolosis. She had to go back every few months for awhile, then once a yr. for a coulple of yrs. and now she's smooth as a baby's behind.

I was a laser hair removal nurse in beverly Hills back in 2001 before they decided to disqualify LVNs from doing it. I trained my 2 RN replacements and its not that difficult, the toughest part is determining the patients skin tone correctly.

As for its permanance, well I learned on myself, legs underarms and full pubic; 5 years later I have about 3 hairs total on both legs and my underarms and pubic are so thin I only shave once a week or so. I'd love to go back to it when I get my RN, I loved it.
