Aestheticians, cosmetologists, medical professionals and career-changers from across the country (and from as far away as Dubai and the United Kingdom) seek out National Laser Institute because of its reputation as the gold standard in medical aesthetics education. Founded in 2003 by Louis “The Laser Guy” Silberman and Matthew Gould, NLI was the first school ever to offer a structured cosmetic laser curriculum. Today, it remains the only school that combines classroom instruction with clinical hands-on training in the school’s adjoining luxury medical spa. In the spa, students perform supervised treatments on paying clients in a “real world” setting.
National Laser Institute‘s mission is to raise the bar on skill, safety and service in the cosmetic laser industry. The school prides itself on providing a complete and thorough education – covering everything from the science behind the various laser treatments to the best practices when performing procedures on clients. NLI trains students in several modalities, including wrinkle reduction, acne scar reduction, hair removal, tattoo removal, sunspot removal, spider vein removal and other in-demand beauty treatments.
Another reason that National Laser Institute stands out in the world of medical aesthetic and cosmetic laser education is that the instructors are second to none. They are some of the nation’s top doctors, nurses, medical aestheticians and cosmetic laser technicians. They have been performing these procedures for 10 to 20 years, and they have a passion for teaching. In addition, NLI students have the advantage of training on the most technologically advanced equipment. This is because the leading laser companies have partnered with the school to showcase their newest and most highly acclaimed devices.
The most popular cosmetic laser training course at National Laser Institute is the Comprehensive Course. This two-week course features classroom and clinical instruction for the most requested cosmetic laser modalities. During the classroom portion of the program, students are treated to a variety of instructors and guest speakers; and during the clinical portion, students will work with a new instructor and train on a different piece of equipment each day. This gives students exposure to a variety of teaching styles and an assortment of cosmetic lasers. The Comprehensive Course also contains a seminar on business development, which includes valuable information for business owners and independent beauty professionals.
Just as National Laser Institute created the first comprehensive cosmetic laser training program in the world, the school continues to lead the industry with its winning combination of innovation, experience and passion. National Laser Institute has academic counselors who are available to assist students throughout the duration of the course. Furthermore, the school’s support goes beyond that. NLI is committed to the success of its graduates, and the school provides assistance as they transition from students to professional medical aesthetic providers. This includes assisting graduates with finding employment and keeping them up-to-date with the latest technologies. Upon course completion, National Laser Institute has a Graduate Services department that assists students with job placement and acts as a resource for clinical and regulatory questions. NLI also offers complimentary refresher courses to its graduates.
Through the years, National Laser Institute has built an international brand that is synonymous with the highest standard of medical aesthetics education in the world. When industry professionals see National Laser Institute on a resume, they know that an aesthetic or medical professional is expertly trained in technique, technology and safety. This year, National Laser Institute President Louis Silberman says they plan to launch new destination courses and continue to offer groundbreaking educational opportunities.
