Specialised Course:
We also off a highly specialised course discussing the light-tissue interactions on a deeper level than above. This course looks at the rate of protein denaturation and its dependence on the energy and duration of the laser/IPL light. It also discusses the role of 'thermal relaxation times', the Arrhenius damage integral, heat conduction during and after pulsed inputs plus how the geometry and dimensions of the targets determines the clinical outcomes. It is quite a mathematical course but will prove very interesting to those who wish to have a deeper understanding. Please contact us if you are interested in this course.
Each delegate will receive a manual for each course attended, with a certificate of attendance and other materials at the end of the course. Most courses last for a half-day but we recommend you contact us for more details. Courses can be held in your own facility or at our training centre in Glasgow. The course fee depends on how many courses you take, how many attend and where the training takes place. A £50 deposit is required at the time of booking with the balance due immediately prior to training.
