For aesthetic entrepreneurs and medical professionals looking to enter the laser tattoo removal industry, clinical education is the foundation of a successful launch. New Look Laser College (NLLC), the training division of Astanza Laser, provides the practical laser skills and certification required to build a thriving practice.
Our team sat down with Krystal Haney, Astanza Laser’s Clinical Training Director and Head of NLLC, to talk about our updated curriculum. This discussion highlights how our advanced training prepares students for long-term operational success. Additionally, you will discover how these clinical protocols help owners level up their internal teams.
Krystal brings more than 17 years of medical aesthetics experience to the classroom, having begun her career in 2008 in cosmetic dermatology and aesthetics. After helping build and grow that initial medical spa, she moved to Dallas to lead clinical and product education for SkinCeuticals and Hydrafacial. Her journey eventually brought her to the Astanza team four years ago, motivated by our unique company culture and high device standards. Today, Krystal uses advanced learning strategies to ensure that every student’s choice to work with us turns into a deeply rewarding career move.
What sets the New Look Laser College curriculum apart from standard laser training programs?
Krystal Haney: “Most laser companies send in a trainer for a day to teach the operators how to use the device, but unfortunately, the ongoing 1-on-1 support isn’t consistent. That is one of many areas where Astanza outperforms the competition. We are committed to our clients’ success and make ourselves available to ensure they have the support they need to make the best impression and provide an unparalleled experience for their patients.”
The Astanza Advantage — At NLLC, we look at training through a comprehensive, solutions-first lens. Our students receive hands-on experience with premier technology. They also learn the operational protocols, state regulations, and marketing strategies required to safely scale their practices from day one. By offering ongoing clinical support, we go far beyond the industry status quo. We give our graduates the exact tools they need to protect their equipment investments. This support helps them maximize their labor productivity.
How does the training adapt to the industry shift toward comprehensive aesthetic treatments?
Krystal Haney: “The greatest shift has been a movement away from the status quo: aggressive procedures, à la carte procedures and treatments, and choosing the cheapest option. Patients, and consumers in general, are shifting towards a positive and memorable experience versus basic, standalone treatments. It has become so imperative for businesses to not only upscale the medical spa atmosphere, but also offer comprehensive treatment plans via thorough skin consultations where the patient feels heard, and that quality time is spent during each of their appointments.”
The Astanza Advantage — To support this market growth, our curriculum includes comprehensive training on multi-wavelength workstations like the Quanta portfolio. We show students how to safely address diverse skin tones and skin types. Operators learn to confidently use both Q-switched and picosecond technology. Training features premium portfolio systems like the Q-Plus EVO Series and Discovery Pico.
How does our current curriculum help a student build a profitable, multi-treatment menu from the ground up?
Krystal Haney: “In addition to the comprehensive knowledge we provide to help our students perform laser tattoo removal treatments, we incorporate two additional sections in our training that focus on business creation and development, as well as marketing. The business section focuses on everything a new entrepreneur needs to consider when starting a laser tattoo removal business. The content in that section is deliberately generalized enough so it is applicable for someone who is opening a medical aesthetics business as well. The same is true for the marketing section. The business section is facilitated by one of our expert business development managers and the marketing section is facilitated by one of our award-winning marketing team members.”
The Astanza Advantage — We treat New Look Laser College (NLLC) as a comprehensive business accelerator. We bring in our own active business development leaders and marketing professionals to teach. Because of this, we give students an immediate edge in lead generation and customer retention. Our curriculum helps students design an efficient workflow from day one. This training shows them how to maximize their revenue quickly. Ultimately, we give them a clear roadmap for sustainable financial growth.
Can you tell us about the new post-NLLC support and resources available to graduates?
Krystal Haney: “Education does not end when the two-day course finishes, which is why we continue providing resources to guide graduates through their next business decisions. Navigating compliance and purchasing equipment can feel overwhelming for a new entrepreneur, so we stay connected to support enrollment growth and long-term business scale.”
The Astanza Advantage — Every graduate receives direct access to specialized resources, including our updated 2026 Laser Buying Guide and comprehensive state regulation guide. We also provide attendee-only promotional bundles through our Astanza Store to help them secure the right technology for their specific business goals and budget. Our team remains a dedicated growth partner to ensure our clients can scale their economic engine effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What factors should be considered when purchasing a tattoo removal machine for a clinic?
Practitioners must consider wavelength versatility, beam geometry, and ongoing technical support when investing in a tattoo removal device. To safely and predictably clear a full spectrum of ink colors, a clinic requires wavelengths like 1064 nm and 532 nm to treat a broad range of ink colors, tattoo types, and skin tones with greater precision. Additionally, choosing advanced configurations like the Quanta Q-Plus series with a flat-top beam is critical because it evenly distributes energy to prevent hotspots and skin texturing.
How do you start a tattoo removal business?
Starting a tattoo removal business requires securing professional certification, understanding your state licensing compliance, and selecting a premier technology partner. New entrepreneurs should begin by attending a comprehensive training program like New Look Laser College to master laser physics and hands-on clinical protocols. From there, you must map out your business foundation, locate a qualified medical director if required by your state regulations, and implement a targeted lead generation strategy. Partnering with a distributor, like Astanza Laser, that provides robust marketing frameworks and business development guidance ensures your startup scales efficiently from day one.
What are the state licensing requirements for laser tattoo removal?
Laser tattoo removal regulations vary drastically by state and depend heavily on your professional background. Some states allow certified aesthetic professionals and laser technicians to operate devices independently, while others require direct medical supervision or a specific medical director agreement. Because compliance guidelines can change, we recommend reviewing our interactive state regulations maps and consulting with a dedicated compliance expert before launching your clinic.
