Trudy Fleming 'SUN + LASER or IPL = DISASTER!'
12.00 am - 1.00 pm $55.00 (Students $45)
We are all aware that skin colour is an issue when treating people with laser or IPL devices as light is easily absorbed into darker skin and can cause hyper or hypo-pigmentation. Skin needs to be carefully assessed for not only natural colour but even more importantly for extra colour as in tan. Too many laser and IPL operators [and their clients] are blasé and don’t think enough about incidental sun exposure prior to treatments.

She has received laser/IPL training in the USA, Denmark, UK as well as Australia from accredited school courses.
