Why Choosing a Qualified Laser Studio is Crucial for Safe and Effective Treatments

When it comes to laser treatments in Edmonton, the decision to choose a qualified laser studio is paramount.

Finding a qualified laser studio can make all the difference in your treatment experience and results. At Bush Whacked Laser in Edmonton, AB, we understand the importance of offering top-notch services with certified technicians. Our technicians are trained in the latest laser technology. Choosing an unqualified or inexperienced provider may lead to undesirable outcomes, including skin damage or ineffective results. That’s why it’s essential to prioritize a studio that not only uses advanced equipment but also employs certified professionals. Ones dedicated to your safety and satisfaction. Whether you’re new to laser treatments or a seasoned client, the expertise of your technician plays a critical role in achieving the best results.

Why Does Certification Matter?

Getting certified as a laser technician in Edmonton does not only mean that you learn how to operate the machine. It means you acquire a deep understanding of our largest organ, the skin. You learn exactly how the laser affects it, how the hairs or ink being treated react to the laser and how the body recovers from the effects of the laser. This type of information is not learnt in a one-day seminar when they sell you the machine. As much as the laser looks easy to operate it is not a simple point and shoot treatment.

How to Verify a Certified Laser Technician in Edmonton?

The easiest way to know is to simply ask your technician during the consultation. At qualified laser studios, any certified technician will be happy to tell you where and when they got their certification. Our training made us the amazing technicians we are today and provided us not only with the knowledge of how to use the laser but also how to watch for signs of a good laser treatment. If you do not understand the skin and don’t know what to watch for you may miss signs showing that you need to turn up or down the energy levels. The parameters set by the laser manufacturer are based on skin types, but every person is different and as certified and experienced technicians here at Bush Whacked Laser in Edmonton we are able to adjust accordingly.

What Should You Expect From Laser Treatments in Edmonton?

Make sure to ask about the treatment time in your consultation. A full body laser hair removal treatment with the fastest laser should take over an hour. If it takes less time, then that you may not be getting a proper treatment and you are likely to be dissatisfied.

 Ask about the machine they ae using and research it. There are many dupes out there that are not hitting the mark. Many legitimate manufactures, such as Alma, have lists on their websites with the names of providers in Edmonton with their machines. If some one is claiming to have an Alma, but they are not on the Alma providers website they are likely using a dupe. These machines are not regulated and cannot be approved by Albertas Occupational Health and Safety (OHS), so use at your own risk.

Is the Clinic registered with Alberta’s Occupational Health and Safety

Alberta Occupational Health and Safety does yearly check ins on qualified laser studios in Edmonton. They ensure that the clinic is clean and sanitized properly between clients and that the lasers are in good condition, insured and registered. If your provider is not registered with OHS, they may not have their credentials in order.

Is your laser provider protecting you?

Lasers are amazing and provide great results! They also emit a low amount of radio activity that requires training and precautions to ensure everyone’s health and safety. Things like protective eyewear, ultrasound gel and well-maintained machines are part of radioactive training that certified technicians take to make sure they can care properly for their clients. Other things you should notice in a clinic following proper radioactive procedures are the laser warning signs on the door. Technicians should also be locking the door during services to ensure that no one can come in. This is not only for your privacy but also so that the laser light is not escaping or affecting the intruders’ eyes.

Red Flags to Watch for at Edmonton Laser Clinics

  • Pay attention in your consultation, if the technician does not explain how the laser works and what you should expect they may have only on the job training and are not fully aware of how to use the laser in all aspects.
  • Check the cleanliness of the clinic, if the technician is not wearing gloves and a mask during the treatment, or the laser itself looks worse for wear, proceed with caution. Remember that this is not just hair removal, you need to watch for your health as well.
  • Look at the machine, if the cords look like they are constantly run over, or the hand piece looks cracked it could be a safety concern.
  • The timing of the treatment again can be a red flag because they could be charging you for a treatment you are not fully getting.
  • Along with the time the price can be too good to be true. If the price is very low, they may not be treating you at your full potential as they can have you come back for extra sessions. Which will add up the cost in the long run. A clinic should be charging based on the level of service and treatment they are providing. At Bush Whacked Laser we charge a competitive price in Edmonton for a great treatment and skilled technicians to preform the treatments.
