In short
This is IPLLAB’s laser technician course — 6 modules, 48 hours, about 1 month, $1,200, with Klarna or Affirm financing. Theory is online at your own pace; each module adds a practical lesson one-to-one with your mentor on the clinic’s own lasers in Montréal (Plateau) or Laval. Modules 1–4 cover laser physics, the diode, Nd:YAG and Alexandrite technologies clinics actually run, Fitzpatrick typing, contraindications, consultation and test patching, then treatment-room safety; module 5 is hands-on practice and module 6 covers pricing, packages and retention. Together with the General Aesthetic Course, this is the minimum to apply for professional insurance; your certificate is recognized by employers and suppliers in Quebec and Canada — Quebec issues no ministry diploma for laser hair removal, so practical training from a working clinic is the hiring standard. Add the recommended advanced skin rejuvenation and one more course of your choice to reach the 200h Clinical Aesthetician Certificate Program.
Our Program
Laser Hair Removal Training Built Around Real Practice
Six modules. Forty-eight hours. From laser theory to supervised treatment in a working medispa.
Our laser hair removal program is structured the way a working medispa actually operates. You start with the science — laser physics, skin biology, and consultation logic — then move through safety protocols, test sessions, and supervised hands-on treatments. By the end of this 48-hour intensive laser hair removal course, you will have practiced on real machines, completed guided client scenarios, and built the kind of judgment that matters most: knowing when to treat, when to adjust, and when to stop.

General Aesthetic Course
The entry point: skincare fundamentals, sanitation, hygiene, consultation, skin analysis and core aesthetic treatments. Built for students with no prior background. Required — course 1 of the 2-course minimum for professional insurance, and of the 200h Clinical Aesthetician Certificate Program.
1 Month / 48h · Required · Insurance-ready
Laser Hair Removal Course — you are here
Laser theory, Fitzpatrick skin typing, contraindications, treatment settings, safety procedures and one-to-one practical application on clinic lasers across 6 modules. Required — together with the General Aesthetic Course, the minimum to apply for professional insurance (other factors count too, such as your premises and lease). Course 2 of the 200h Certificate Program.
2 Months / 56h · Recommended
Advanced Skin Rejuvenation
Skin renewal protocols, treatment planning, client assessment, contraindications and aftercare. Not required, but strongly recommended — the must-have for roughly 80% of medico-aesthetic procedures and positions. Counts toward the 200h Certificate Program.
4 courses / 200h · 6–9 months · Goal
200h Clinical Aesthetician Certificate Program
Add one more course of your choice — laser tattoo removal or advanced facials, for example — and you reach the 200h goal. The top professional profile you leave with: maximum employer interest, the best pay rate and payroll options. Not mandatory for employment or insurance, but the recommended path to maximum expertise.
6 Modules / 48h
Aesthetic Business Start-Up Course
For estheticians opening a studio or renting a room. One module covers legal form, registrations, GST/QST, premises, insurance and CNESST; five more cover sourcing, booking systems, website and SEO, Google and Meta ads, and first-year finances. A real deliverable in every module.
Student Voices
From Our Laser Course Graduates
Honest words from students of our laser hair removal training — beginners, career changers, and beauty professionals.
Honestly the safety module changed how I think about the whole service. Wasn't expecting that.
Practical sessions made the difference for me. You can't really learn laser from a book.
Came in nervous, left actually feeling like I could work in a clinic. The instructors are patient and they answer everything, even small questions.
Solid training. Worth it.
What I liked most is that it didn't feel rushed. We had time to actually practice and ask questions during the hands-on parts.
I compared three schools before signing up here. The fact that it's a real medispa and not just a classroom was the deciding factor for me.
First time holding the machine was scary 😅 but by the end of module 5 it felt natural.
Already had 6 years in beauty but zero laser experience. This filled the gap exactly how I needed.
Good people, good equipment, real cases. The consultation training was the part I underestimated and it ended up being the most useful.
Recommended.
Is this the right laser course for you?
Is this a laser technician course, or an esthetician course?
A laser technician course. It is single-service and device-focused rather than a broad beauty programme, which is what most people mean when they look for a laser technician school. If you want the wider foundation first — skin biology, facials, product knowledge — start with the General Aesthetic Course instead, or see all esthetician courses in Montreal & Laval. Working estheticians take this as an add-on service; complete beginners take it as a first specialization.
Can I do this online?
The theory, yes — it is online and you study it at your own pace. The practice, no: each module includes a 1.5-hour lesson one-to-one with your mentor on a real machine, and modules 3 and 4 involve test patching and treatment-room safety that cannot be assessed over video. Hands-on laser training is the entire point of the format. Practicals are booked when you’re ready, in Montréal or Laval, daytime, evening or weekend.
Does this certify me on IPL machines as well as lasers?
The curriculum is built around laser hair removal on the technologies named in Module 1. IPL is a different light-based technology, and it is one of the most common questions we get — so bring it to the free consultation and tell us which device your clinic runs or plans to buy. We will confirm exactly what this course does and does not cover for that machine before you enrol, rather than have you find out afterwards.
How does the certificate compare to a laser technician diploma?
Quebec does not issue a DEP or an AEC for laser hair removal the way it does for esthétique, so there is no provincial laser technician diploma to compare against. What you receive is a certificate documenting your 48 hours, the devices you trained on and the protocols you performed — recognized by employers and suppliers across Quebec and Canada, and, with the General Aesthetic Course, the basis for your professional insurance application. It is what clinics actually evaluate. If you are asking because a job posting asked for laser hair removal certification, this is the credential that answers it.
I already work in beauty — is any of this redundant?
Modules 2 and 3 will feel familiar if you already run consultations and read skin types, but they are calibrated to laser specifically: contraindications that matter for light-based treatment, hair characteristics rather than skin concerns, and test patching. Nail techs, waxers and estheticians adding laser as a service are a large share of our students, and they tend to spend their attention on modules 4 and 5. With the General Aesthetic Course already behind you, finishing this one makes you eligible to apply for professional insurance — and step 2 of the 200h Clinical Aesthetician Certificate Program.

Common Questions
Laser Hair Removal Course in Montreal & Laval — FAQ
Honest answers to everything students ask before enrolling in our laser hair removal course.
No. The laser hair removal course is designed to take students from zero to job-ready. Many of our graduates started with no background in beauty at all. The first three modules build your foundation in theory, skin science, and consultation before you ever pick up a laser, so the learning curve is structured and manageable.
The laser hair removal program is 48 hours total, divided into 6 modules of 8 hours each. The schedule is designed as an intensive so students can complete their laser hair removal training without putting their lives on hold for months at a time.
A meaningful portion of the laser hair removal course is hands-on. Module 5 is dedicated entirely to supervised practice on professional laser equipment, and earlier modules include guided exercises in consultation, skin assessment, and test sessions. You leave having actually performed treatments, not just studied them.
In our working medispas in Montreal (3889 St-Denis) and Laval (4220 St-Martin O), making our laser hair removal training accessible across the Greater Montreal area. Students train in the same rooms where real treatments happen, on the same equipment used by professional staff. This is the closest thing to clinical experience a course can offer.
For most graduates, yes. Medispas, aesthetic clinics, and beauty centers in the Montreal and Laval area are actively hiring trained laser technicians. The laser hair removal course covers the practical skills employers ask about in interviews — consultation, safety, machine handling, treatment workflow, and client communication — and your certificate is recognized by employers and suppliers across Quebec and Canada. We also share guidance on how to position yourself for hiring and what to expect in your first role.
Yes. Your certificate is recognized by employers and suppliers across Quebec and Canada, and together with the General Aesthetic Course it is the minimum to apply for professional insurance — we guide you through the broker application. It is a practical, professional certificate documenting your laser hair removal training, treatment hours and protocols. In Quebec, laser hair removal has no ministry-issued DEP or AEC the way esthétique does; the hiring standard for laser technicians is practical training from a working clinic or medispa — exactly what this course provides. We walk you through how clinics evaluate candidates during the free consultation.
Many of our graduates do, eventually. With the General Aesthetic Course behind you, completing this course makes you eligible to apply for professional insurance — we guide you with brokers, and other factors count too, such as your premises and lease. Module 6 covers the business side — pricing, packages, retention and service positioning — and the Aesthetic Business Start-Up course handles registration, insurance and clinic setup when you’re ready to go independent.
One-to-one. The theory is online and you study it at your own pace; each of the 6 modules then includes a 1.5-hour practical lesson booked with your mentor alone, on clinic lasers in Montréal or Laval, when you’re ready. No group classes — every minute on the machine is yours.
The laser hair removal course is $1200 and we offer Klarna pay-later financing with no interest, so students can begin training without paying the full amount upfront. Speak with an advisor if you have questions about scheduling payments around your start date.
Yes, and many of our students do. This course is step 2 of the 200h Clinical Aesthetician Certificate Program: add the recommended Advanced Skin Rejuvenation course — it covers roughly 80% of medico-aesthetic procedures and positions — and one more course of your choice, such as laser tattoo removal or advanced facials, and you reach the 200h goal in 6–9 months. The 200h program is optional, but it is the top professional profile for employers. We can map that progression with you at the consultation.
An advisor reaches out within one business day to confirm your start date, location, and any questions you have. You receive your course materials, schedule, and a clear breakdown of what to expect from day one. From that point, the next step is simply showing up ready to learn.
