Mike Murphy - Our Trainer
Mike started working with medical lasers in 1986 in the renowned Canniesburn Plastic Surgery Unit in Glasgow. He was involved in the original tattoo removal research using the Q-switched ruby laser and opened the world's first commercial clinic using this technology in 1989 in Glasgow. He continued his clinical research at Canniesburn and Strathclyde University investigating the use of the ruby laser on benign pigmented lesions, Nd:YAG lasers on tattoos and with pulsed dye lasers on vascular conditions (particularly paediatric port wine stains). His Ph.D. studies looked into the physics of the interaction of laser energy and tissues in the skin.
In 1992 he started working with the inventor of intense pulsed light systems to develop the world's first commercial system used in the beauty sector. He launched the Plasmalite into the UK market in 1999 initially for hair removal. Following that he sold lasers and IPL systems into markets across Europe, Asia and in the US.
Throughout the last 25 years he has travelled across the world training plastic surgeons, dermatologists, nurses and beauty therapists in various hospitals, clinics and salons. In addition he has trained service engineers on the maintenance and repair side of things. In that time he has developed many techniques to help people understand how these technologies can be used to achieve excellent results and improve their businesses.
