About Our Course
Success with patient treatments and outcomes continually boils down to a few topics.
The most common is 'how do I adjust the laser to get the best outcome for my patient
going forward through the treatment series?' Users find themselves in a quandary when
they need to step outside factory presets for the best outcome for the patient. What can
be changed without complication to the patient? Is there a reason why the presets are
chosen and which is the better component to change for this patient? Which makes more
sense, a change in pulse time, energy level, cooling or even wavelength?
Just like any other prescription a physician will write, the selection of laser
parameters, timing and frequency of treatments must be defined and explained.
A physician will not say 'here is a bottle of pills now go take them'.
Instead he will give a specific dosage, titrating it to the individuals needs.
Both new and experienced laser users ask how and why lasers do what they do and how to
best use them. Most want the ability to better understand lasers and pulsed light. We
provide a non-biased academic 'look behind the curtains' for the user to understand the
same basics and advanced concepts of clinical use that manufacturer's use in development
of these devices.
In all our years of academic training we find there are core questions from every user.
We don't provide clinical answers; rather we do try to provide the building blocks of
light tissue interaction for the user to better determine how they can come up with those
answers.
The concept is simple, small interactive classes (no more than 20 attendees) with an eye
on the endpoints, potential risks and what key components determine and influence those
endpoints. With that in mind our attendees have been delighted with the two day course.
The course is great at any experience level, and in fact, most attendees learn best when
the course mix is a little of all experience levels. We promote communication between the
attendees and those discussions open doors to topics we, and they, never imagined.
Manufacturers often spend time with the physician and staff on how to use a device.
We concentrate on what the components of the usage are and help the course attendee better
understand why. We appreciate you considering us as an educational option and believe that
you will find the same successes with your clients that others have.
