Founded on nearly 40 years in the medical laser industry

Based in Glasgow, Scotland, Dermalase are proud to offer top quality training courses to practitioners around the world. What’s our secret? We take great pains to simplify subjects and have a reputation for making difficult concepts easy to understand and put into practice.

With Dermalase you are gaining the invaluable knowledge and research by Mike Murphy over the past near 40 (he started in 1986) years in medical lasers. Mike was involved in the original scar-free tattoo removal clinical trails in Glasgow, Scotland since 1986, and offered the world’s first QS ruby laser for tattoo removal to the commercial work in 1989 through DermaLase Ltd.

Mike has shared his knowledge across the world and continues to research into new treatment applications and improvements to existing practice. You can find some of this publications here.

Now offering VTCT Skills approved and CPD courses.

Mike is also a certificated Laser Protection Adviser and the Chairman of the Association of Laser Safety Professionals (laserprotectionadviser.com) and also the General Secretary of the UK Council on Surgical Plume (ukcsp.co.uk).

You can find out more about his LPA services here.

Dermalase is a family run business with Lisa, Mike’s daughter, focusing more on the practical tips and tricks to rapidly improve your treatment results in a safe manner. Lisa is a certified Laser Safety Officer and VTCT tutor and is committed to her client’s wellbeing and learning.

As a new laser operator, I have so much to learn. I now feel more confident to continue with my journey & expand my knowledge. I will for sure be continuing training with Mike.
