Is This Career a Fit in New Mexico?

Permanent-results nicheYou offer the only FDA-recognized permanent solution - a clear professional identity clients search for.

Recurring client relationshipsTreatment plans run months to years, which builds predictable income once your book fills.

In licensed states, expect several months to over a year from enrollment to board approval: theory study, 600 training hours at school, exam prep, then application processing. Part-time students should plan longer.

Theory vs school: Structured online theory helps before or during in-person hours, but it does not replace board-required clinical training. See the online electrolysis theory course for modules and enrollment - pricing stays on that page only.
