Laser Training
Pioneer Of Laser Certification in Minnesota and Iowa
Top-Tier Laser Training, Real Hands-On Experience, and Career-Ready Confidence—All in One Program Learning Multiple Machines.
By popular demand, our Flex Course has returned!
We offer two convenient options for the Laser Certification program to fit your schedule. Students may choose our in-person 150-hour weekday course, held from 9:00 am to 5:30 pm, or our online hybrid options, which allows you to complete the didactic portion remotely and attend Week 2 on campus for hands-on training. The hybrid option also provides the flexibility to complete your internship hours and required quotas on your own schedule.
Medspa Institute of America’s Laser Program is designed to help you get certified with confidence—and stand out to employers. As our school owner created Minnesota’s laser licensure through the Office of Higher Education in 2015, we’ve been the first and training skincare professionals in advanced laser technology for years. With our deep connections in the medical aesthetics industry, you’ll graduate with the training, support, and professional network you need to take the next step toward getting hired in the real Medspa or Medical aesthetics side of esthetics.
When you enroll, you don’t just learn one device or one narrow skill set. You’ll get hands-on exposure to multiple laser and energy-based technologies, helping you build real-world experience and a stronger, more competitive resume—so you’re prepared for a wider range of jobs in medical aesthetics, not just a limited set of workplaces.
We offer laser certification through our Minnesota esthetics schools for licensed estheticians and aspiring laser technicians who want to expand their service offerings, increase their earning potential, and even move toward a more clinical career path. Our 150-hour Luxury Laser Program can be taken before or after Esthetics/Advanced Practice Esthetics, but we recommend taking it before so you can keep building hands-on laser experience on select evenings and Saturdays while you’re still in school—helping you graduate more confident and more competitive. The course also includes valuable add-ons like Phlebotomy training (available at an additional cost), CPR, Laser Safety Officer training, and HIPAA training to strengthen your credentials for the medical aesthetics industry at a true Medspa. Lasers are subject to change due to industry demand.

“From the first day here at Medspa, the atmosphere was very inviting and all of the instructors and students were very nice and welcoming. I feel as though I got a quality education In Laser treatments and I am confident to take clients and educate them as well.”
“I attended Medspa Institute of America in 2019 for the laser course. It was an awesome experience being able to learn hands on and get the best education. I was able to get a job at a medspa shortly after graduating. A lot has changed since 2019 with new classes and new treatments being taught. I would highly recommend!”
