Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to design laser hair reduction treatment programs to reduce unwanted hair on the face and body. It requires the ability to consult with clients, determine client suitability for laser hair reduction treatments and design treatment programs based on client needs. This unit applies to laser practitioners working in a diverse range of beauty industry sectors and business contexts who design staged treatment programs for multiple treatments that will safely achieve optimal hair reduction outcomes for the client. These individuals operate independently, under limited supervision of others and within established organisational policies and procedures. The unit reflects the safety guidelines, for a broad range of clinical laser dermal applications, expressed in the following Australian and New Zealand Standards, current at the time of publication:AS/NZS 4173:2018 Safe use of lasers and intense light sources in health careAS/NZS IEC 60825.1:2014 Safety of laser products – Part 1: Equipment classifications and requirements AS/NZS 1336:2014 Eye and face protection - Guidelines.The use of laser is subject to legislation, regulation and licensing in some Australian states and territories.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.
