Thanks to Lorenzo I learned so much during his online training because I live in South America. Being from Argentina and speaking limited english I was woried about not understanding, but Lorenzo took the time to go over every detail and make sure I understad everything. It was great learning from his many years of expirence. I very much recommend taking this class. Lorenzo went out of his way to make sure everything was taken care of even from the US. Thank you Lorenzo I cant wait to visit you in NY.

Thank you so much for everything- we both had a great time and learned so much from you. I can't say enough how much I enjoyed the class and you were obviously a major part of that- I felt really comfortable asking questions, thought the information was presented in a way that was easy to digest, found your clinical instruction very helpful, positive and constructive- just overall a really fun experience that was completely above and beyond my expectation. It's been amazing to feel motivated about my career for the first time in years, so again thank you!

The decision to become certified in laser tattoo removal was not an easy one but after Lorenzo's tireless cooperation and expert training, I couldn't be happier with it. Not only was ILA's education and training extensive but it was presented in a way that was manageable and easy to understand. Lorenzo was able to thoroughly answer all of my questions both in and out of the classroom and knowing that he is available to assist me throughout my career has given me the confidence I need to excel in this exciting field.

Thank you Lorenzo, you provided me with all of the information and skills that I will need to get my own tattoo removal studio started. You were extreamly patient, thorough, and there wasn’t a single question I had that you didn’t or couldnt answer. Knowing that I can always reach you; to me that speaks volumes about your character, and you have more then exceeded my expectations. Thanks again!

When I began looking for courses available for laser tattoo removal, the few that I found were all offered alongside several other laser training programs that I didn't need or want, and took place in class room type settings that would have limited the amount one on one training and the subject I was interested in (tattoo removal). The International Laser Academy, however, gave me the option of not only customized training, but also a program that allowed my colleague and I to work with Lorenzo in a personalized class for just the two of us. I don't think any other program could match the amount of material we covered in the time we had available. The small setting allowed me to ask questions and go more in depth in the areas I needed to focus on without feeling that I was being rushed or held back as I might have been in a larger class. The course was far better than I could have expected, and the ongoing contact and assistance has certainly helped me to not feel like I am lost while venturing into a new industry. I think the ability to have an instructor that makes himself available for any questions and help as I begin to apply what I learned in this field is going to prove to be the most valuable part of the experience, and something that would not have been available with any other program I could have chosen. I look forward to continuing to work with him, and I would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in seeking a career in laser tattoo removal.

I was apprehensive about getting trained in laser but after spending the weekend with Lorenzo and learning the ins and outs of the laser business, I can safely say that this has been one of the best decisions of my life. Lorenzo is the best instructor that one can ask for. The hands on training with him and Bethany was an amazing experience. He is incredibly thorough in his teaching and very patient. He is one of the most genuine people I have met, and he sincerely cares about making sure that his students know everything they need to know, and feel comfortable with all the material and the lasering process. This program is perfection. I had a wonderful time this weekend with you, Bethany, and Shawn. Taking this course is the best decision I've made in a long time. I feel really confident in starting a career in laser thanks to you and I cannot tell you how much I appreciate you! You and Bethany are such wonderful teachers and your entire program is so incredibly thorough. And thanks for working with me on the price, very nice of you.

I chose the International Laser Academy tattoo removal course after comparing it to others based on the curriculum, professionalism, and for the ongoing support that was offered by instructor Lorenzo Kunze. With that being said, I was not disappointed! Lorenzo is a true gentleman and the "real deal", with a very thorough grasp of the entire aesthetic industry. I truly appreciated the depth of his knowledge and I really loved his content and delivery. There was not one question that he couldn't readily answer and the course materials were so thorough and comprehensive. His vast experience is a valuable resource that I plan to tap into as I start this new business chapter. I am so happy that I chose this course and feel excited and well prepared to get going with it. I feel more confident knowing that Lorenzo will be available as a mentor and that he sincerely loves what he is doing.

I just wanted to let you know that I truly appreciate how you care for the success of your students. Of course, the training we received was beyond excellent, but the handholding you give after training; by always being available to answer questions speaks volumes. Thank you so much for your time and experience! Also if any one is thinking about taking a laser course, you will not find another program or teacher that is as committed to seeing their students succeed then ILA!

From beginning to end, I had a wonderful experience training with Lorenzo. He was always professional, easily accessible, and quick to reply to my numerous questions (whether via email or in person). Lorenzo is extremely knowledgeable about his profession, has a wonderful charisma and passion for what he does, and has a great personality as well. All of these attributes made learning/training a unique and fun experience. I can proudly say that I am now confident and comfortable in my new profession thanks to Lorenzo!

After extensive research on which laser courses were available globally, I decided to train with Lorenzo Kunze, since he was highly recommended by other industry professionals. Lorenzo is a great communicator and educator, I found him easy to learn from and feel I received a good balance of technical training and hands-on insight. After completing the course with him I feel well-equipped to set up my own business, it gives me a lot of confidence to know that he will be available as a mentor and adviser in the exciting months ahead.

"I was very pleased to complete the education as MLS with Lorenzo Kunze from The International Laser Academy. From the first contact I was provided with attention and guidance, even though I am living in Denmark. Lorenzo has shown great willingness to help by planning the training here. I've ran my clinic for almost two years and felt it was time to update my knowledge. So I decided to contact Lorenzo because of his reputation in the field of esthetic lasers. Lorenzo is a very competent person, and he takes care of all aspects of running tattoo removal clinic from marketing to client relations. I have learned so many new techniques that will help me in the future, from safety to giving my patients the best results. Earlier I have gone through a course at another U.S. laser college, and can safely say that it is in no way comparable with the training here at ILA, I highly recommend an education with Lorenzo Kunze for anyone considering going into this exciting industry"

Perhaps the single biggest event influencing the success of New Image Laser Tattoo Removal was an email I received from Lorenzo Kunze, Jr. early in the planning stages of my business. Someone that I had talked to about purchasing equipment mentioned my name to Lorenzo. In this email, not only did Lorenzo offer to train me on the equipment, he also offered to be my mentor. I accepted his offer. Lorenzo gave me personalized training in every area of tattoo removal. He was willing to take as much time with me as necessary. After the initial training, Lorenzo has helped me with every area of my business from choosing the correct equipment to marketing. He has stayed in contact with me, answering my questions, and showing a real interest in how my business is progressing.
I can highly endorse Lorenzo Kunze and the International Laser Academy to anyone who would like professional training in this exciting and rewarding industry

My training with Lorenzo was very interesting and informative... he went so far out of his way (literally and figuratively speaking!) to help me understand the various components of tattoo removal. Like tattooing itself, which I also do, so much learning is done by actually doing the process and becoming familiar with settings and the unlimited variables that one is presented with as a practitioner. He allowed me to feel not only comfortable with the process from the new information I was being taught, but also even more so by the fact that I knew I could call or email him at any time with questions/concerns, and he would be there to support me. That, to me, was and still is the best part of my training!
Thanks Lorenzo!

Lorenzo Kunze trained and mentored me while starting my new career in tattoo removal. I came from a different profession with no experience at all. Lorenzo's teaching style was informative, technical but also very relaxed and comfortable. What I valued the most was not only learning the science and technological side but also Lorenzo sharing the important details about the day-to-day operation of the business. I gained so much insight by watching and listening to his extensive experiences. He made it easy for me to see how I could be successful. Best of all, he gave me the confidence and tools I needed to start my laser center.

Lorenzo was great as an instructor and continues to be a great mentor. He has allowed time for me to figure things out without intervening and gave me credit for my professional background when consulting with clients. After completing the program, he continued to make himself available for consultation and advice. I do appreciate the continued support he's provided!
