The laser industry can be a minefield — with wildly varying prices, confusing qualification requirements, and machines ranging from bargain basement to eye-wateringly expensive.
We've cut through the confusion to bring together our high spec machines with our award winning training. Comprehensive in-person training, live models supplied by us, our fully UKCA certified LMC Laser machine and ongoing support and mentoring that continues long after you leave.
Your LMC ND YAG PRO 4 supports a range of treatments, giving you more ways to generate revenue from one machine.

Researching laser training can be a minefield. Here's the straight version.
Yes — this course is designed for complete beginners. All relevant certifications and practical training are included, taking you from zero experience to offering laser treatments to clients. You don't need any prior background however *We recommend double checking with your local council for any location specific license requirements
There are currently no legal overall regulations for every council where a license is required to offer Laser and/or a specific VTCT qualification to offer laser treatments in England. The requirements to practice come from insurers — who typically ask for Level 3 Anatomy & Physiology, Core of Knowledge, and a laser-appropriate training certificate. All of these are included in this course.
Could this change in future? Possibly. Our LPA (Laser Protection Advisor) advises that the laser industry is unlikely to see significant regulatory change in the near future given that current focus is on the broader aesthetics sector. We don't feel it's appropriate to sell something expensive that isn't yet a confirmed requirement — especially when a VTCT Level 4/5 qualification alone costs around £3,500 without a machine or practical training. However as always we recommend checking with your local council for peace of mind on requirements.
If regulations do change and a specific qualification/award body becomes a legal requirement, we will still provide our Machine and practical training packages and support any new or existing students through any transition to obtaining a VTCT qualification — if at this point you have already been practicing for 2 years, there are smooth conversion courses available.
The laser training market has huge price variation — much of it driven by machine brand markups rather than quality differences. We now manufacture our own machines under The Laser Machine Co. brand, working extensively with our LPA to source and build machines that are safety compliant, high spec, and genuinely effective.
Rather than marking up the cost, we pass the savings directly on to our students. We're a family business and believe professional training and equipment shouldn't be out of reach. Our goal is to fill a gap in the market — premium machines, thorough training, and exceptional ongoing support at a price that actually makes sense.
All machines are fully UKCA certified. You can browse the full range at thelasermachineco.co.uk.
