Intended for professionals (electrologists, aestheticians, doctors)
46 hours private or semi-private tutoring / 60 hours regular groups
Photoepilation allows for up to 80% reduction in hair growth quickly over large regions of the body, and as such, stands as a great complementary technique to electrolysis. Our specialized program, taught by experienced professional instructors, has been designed for electrologists and aestheticians who wish to give their career a boost by offering additional services to their customers.
Our online platform walks you through all the theoretical aspects of photoepilation over six chapters, for a total of 18 hours of instruction. Each chapter includes a visual-rich PDF manual as well as a quiz-type evaluation. Quizzes are completed online, and students receive their grade immediately. A few short videos are also available.
Once the online theory class is completed, students must attend an accredited Académie Dectro institution for hands-on training, during which they are called to put into practice what they learned online. The Académie Dectro use the Apilux 3G IPL and Vikini LASER devices (both registered by Health Canada) for live model practice sessions and evaluations. Thanks to their many features and pre-set programs, they ensure a safe, professional application.
