Come to Chicago for Your Laser Training!

Pack your bags for a trip to the great city of Chicago next month, enjoy the beautiful spring weather and take part in the best aesthetic laser training program available.

The need for training comes up often in conversations with current Bal-Tech Medical clients or those in the consultation stage, considering options for equipment and where to obtain aesthetic/medical expertise.

Bal-Tech Medical created an alliance with the Laser Training Institute of Dallas, TX because we recognized the benefit of coupling a strong, accredited laser classroom training program along with Bal-Tech Medical on-site clinical hands-on sessions we provide our purchasers.

The Laser Training Institute has created the first accredited laser education curriculum in the country, encompassing all modalities of non-ablative procedures.  This curriculum offers a complete basic education on all laser wavelengths,intense pulse light, radiofrequency, LED, and all other thermal devices. 

Bal-Tech Medical, located in the suburbs of Chicago, is excited about the upcoming LTI session scheduled for May 13 and 14 at the Chicago Lakeshore Hotel.

Bal-Tech is inviting participants of the training seminar to visit its equipment warehouse, corporate offices and Ultimate Image MediSpa. Those attending the LTI session can call Bal-Tech Medical at 1-800-574-2152 to schedule a tour/visit of the facility.

The seminar is appropriate for all physicians, nurses, aestheticians, laser technicians, medical spa personnel, and office staff who are involved in the oversight or performance of non-ablative procedures.  Physicians who complete the seminar qualify for 16 hours of CME credit and nurses will receive 16 hours of CEU credits. Participants who complete the course will be able to document training in the following core competencies:

  • Fundamental concepts of laser science and biophysics
  • Tissue interaction of all wavelengths and other non-ablative technologies
  • Treatment indications and contraindications
  • Clinical applications of current and emerging laser/thermal technologies
  • Review the hazards associated with healthcare laser systems and the appropriate control measures required
  • Administrative and Procedural controls for all aspects of an aesthetic/cosmetic practice or facility
  • State and Federal Regulations for operating laser systems
  • Training on how to establish an office-based Quality Assurance Program
  • Introduction to all of the latest advancements in equipment and technologies available today

Program cost is $1,295 but only $995 for Bal-Tech Medical clients through May 6. Mention that you are a Bal-Tech Medical client when registering.

Information about the training institute and its offerings is available by calling LTI at 972.271.2263, or visit the Laser Training Institute web site at www.lasertraininginstitute.com.

You can also access the Laser Training Institute website when visiting Bal-Tech Medical’s site at www.bal-techmedical.com, clicking on the Training Options link, and then clicking on the LTI logo.

CONVENIENT INVOICE E-MAILING TO
BAL-TECH CLIENTS

More Bal-Tech Medical clients are receiving their invoices immediately by having them sent via e-mail directly to their accounting departments.

“Getting an invoice in the mail, or even by fax, was a slower process in the past,” said Kathy Edgar, Bal-Tech Medical customer service representative. “Now, if the client will provide us an e-mail address to the practice, or the accounting or purchasing officer’s e-mail, they can have their invoice sent quickly and efficiently.”

Edgar said this helps cut down on paperwork and helps client staff obtain the documents they need quickly to record their purchase.

E-mail has become a staple of many business transactions, and Bal-Tech Medical has long issued equipment and service price quotes, or equipment information and photos through e-mail. The addition of the invoice e-mailing provides just another convenience in dealing with Bal-Tech Medical.

As another example of how Bal-Tech Medical can serve clients through e-mail, Edgar reminds those who haven’t done so already that this monthly newsletter is easy to subscribe to on the Bal-Tech Medical website.
