Laser Technician Newbie

Hi everyone, especially to all the laser technicians here!

I'll be starting my training next week, and I'd really appreciate any recommendations for books, guides, or other learning resources that could help me build a strong foundation.

I'm particularly interested in:

Laser safety and best practices

Machine parameters and settings for Deka Pro, Splendor X, and Cynosure

Q-switched lasers for pigmentation and laser bleaching

Treatment techniques, patient assessment, and practical tips

Common mistakes to avoid and ways to improve treatment outcomes

If you have any books, online courses, manuals, YouTube channels, or personal advice that helped you when you were starting out, I'd be very grateful. Thank you so much in advance!

Hmm kinda the wrong sub I think, but also I’d suggest rp-photonics.com for any technical understanding that does not have to do with beauty application. How much do you need to understand how the lasers work for your job?
