An exam, not attendance
The certificate is issued once the final exam is passed: 40 questions, 80% to pass. That is a document a clinic can show an insurer.
From the practitioners behind Gangsta Lasers
Not another laser workshop. An academy that takes your clinic to the next level.
Founding Edition · 4 weeks onlineFor anyone who works with pigment day to day: from independent practitioners to the teams of tattoo studios, beauty salons and aesthetic-medicine clinics.
Laser removal you run with a steady hand
A four-week programme for PMU artists, tattoo studios and clinics that want to remove pigment deliberately: with a real consultation, proper documentation, a planned series and a conversation that leaves the client knowing what to expect. Taught by Olena and Justyna, founders of Gangsta Lasers.

How this differs
Why stay here instead of booking the next workshop
There are a dozen removal trainings on the market and almost all of them teach you to operate a device. This is a programme about running a service that pays for itself.
The market today
From what we see in the market, around 70% of the people removing pigment in Poland today are working on nanosecond lasers — and very often do not know where that technology stops.
The authors' own estimates (Olena and Justyna), built from conversations with salon owners, equipment distributors, trainers and training participants. Indicative figures — they require confirmation against independent market data before being used in advertising.
To pre-empt the doubt: this is not a programme designed to talk you into buying a picosecond laser. Framing it as “nano versus pico” sells machines beautifully, and we do not sell machines. We show you the full potential of the technology and teach you how to build an effective, profitable service on it — whatever device you already have in your room.
Training ends when the device is delivered
A distributor onboarding day teaches you the buttons, not the treatment. The first difficult cases arrive a week later, when there is nobody left to ask.
Consultation is treated as paperwork
Most problems do not start at the device. They start earlier: in a question nobody asked, a photo nobody took, a promise made in the first conversation.
Knowledge circulates in private messages
Parameters and protocols passed around in comments and DMs, stripped of case context. Everyone learns from their own mistakes, separately.
The service is not costed
The clinic has a device and no workflow: how long the appointment runs, what a series includes, what the documentation looks like, what you say when progress is slower than the client assumed.
A weekend workshop: two days, a lot of slides, a certificate for attending.
Four weeks, a quiz after every module, and a certificate only once the final exam is passed.
Training on one device — usually the one the organiser sells.
We teach you to read a specification and decide for yourself, including whether buying makes sense for you at all.
You finish with the technical knowledge and no idea where clients come from.
The whole fourth week is brand, client acquisition, and a price you do not have to discount.
After the training you are on your own with the questions.
No solitude after the course: 4 live sessions, each with a guest expert from the industry, worked on real cases — submitted by participants and taken apart step by step. You can always reach the instructors: they never leave a participant without an answer.
"You will learn to remove tattoos and permanent make-up."
You will learn to qualify a case, plan a series and say "not today" — because this is a responsibility, not a procedure.
You compete on the lowest price in town and work every Saturday.
We show you how to price a series and build a schedule that does not eat your weekends.
The device decision
You leave with the cost of a treatment in your own room calculated to the last grosz, and you know in black and white the point from which the device starts generating profit. Or with a cool, entirely honest “not yet”. That will save you tens of thousands of złoty sunk into a lease.
Clients, not only technique
Concrete sources of removal clients and a plan for the first 90 days. This is the half of the trade no removal training in Poland teaches.
A price you do not discount
Pricing a series, talking about money, and positioning where you do not have to be the cheapest in town.
Two instructors, not one
Olena and Justyna at every live session, plus an industry guest. You ask somebody who does this daily.
Materials for a year
Recordings, workbooks and checklists stay with you. You come back to them when a hard case walks in.
The group community
A shared group channel: direct contact with Olena and Justyna between sessions, questions from the room as they come up, and conversations with people working exactly as you do.
Gangsta Lasers Academy exists to turn knowledge that has so far circulated only in private conversations into a concrete treatment protocol. If all you want is a standard two-day technical course, you will easily find cheaper options on the market. But if you want to leave with a complete product — a clear procedure, profitable pricing and a base of interested clients — this is the place.

17 key points of a professional consultation
Download the practical checklist that helps you structure the consultation, documentation and case assessment before a laser treatment. No course signup, no obligation.
- An armour-plated intake: what to ask at the start so you are protected from complaints and claims after the treatment.
- Red flags in the room: the situations where you must say “no” and postpone the procedure.
- Photo documentation with real value: how to take “before” photos that protect the business and stand up as evidence, not just a nice frame.
- Hard conversations without promises you cannot keep: how to set expectations, the series plan and the long intervals, building trust in the process.
- Informed consent that actually works: the clauses that close the legal gaps in your treatment record.

Qualification
Who this is for — and who it is absolutely not for
Cards on the table. We would rather be blunt now than disappoint you in week three.
This is for you if…
- You are a linergist or PMU artist and want to add removal to your services
- You run a tattoo studio and clients increasingly ask about correction or removal
- You own a salon or clinic and plan to buy a device — and want to go in prepared
- You already have a laser but feel you work on instinct rather than protocol
- You want a structured consultation, documentation and a way to discuss outcomes
- You prefer learning in a cohort, with the option to ask live
This is not for you if…
- You want a parameter table to apply without assessing the case
- You expect a guaranteed result — that cannot be promised honestly
- You have no access, current or planned, to a device or to practice
- You need medical credentials — this is a professional programme, not a medical course
- You do not want to keep documentation or consent records
Participant journey
Four weeks, four changes in how you work
The programme is built as a progression, not a list of topics.
W1Consultation stops being improvisation
Today you ask whatever comes to mind, and settle the important things on the fly, with the handpiece already in your hand.
Time for a standard: you get a finished qualification card that you take every client through, without exception. Above all you know exactly which answers light the red lamp and end the visit for that day.
W2Parameters stop being a lottery
Today you take settings from a cheat sheet, from industry groups, or you repeat whatever you used on the last client. Time to stop.
You start to understand exactly what you are changing and why. You learn to read a device's technical specification ruthlessly — instead of believing the marketing fairy tales in a distributor's leaflet.
W3A single treatment becomes a precise strategy
The client asks: “how many treatments?” Today you answer with an uncertain “it depends”.
You give a firm, professional forecast: you classify the case, plan the series, set safe intervals and explain exactly what your decisions are based on.
W4A service that finally pays for itself
Today removal is a dead line on the price list, with no fixed place in the calendar and no idea how to talk about it.
Time to monetise: you get an ordered workflow, a photo-documentation procedure, profitable pricing and a ready way to present the treatment to clients. On Monday morning you are not wondering where to start — you open the room and work the plan.
Programme
The programme step by step: week by week
Simple implementation maths: one week is one module, one live session and one concrete outcome that shows up in your own room. No stand-ins, no anonymous assistants and no replayed recordings — we are personally with you at every live session. Olena and Justyna. Both of us, every time, from beginning to end. Completely different from each other, often with different views — and that is exactly what makes it valuable.
- Week1
Foundations: skin, pigment and consultation
Before you switch the laser on
Outcome: You run a consultation end to end: history, case assessment, documentation and consent — and you know when to say 'not today'.
Scope
- Skin structure and pigment behaviour
- Client history and intake
- Contraindications and reasons to postpone
- Documentation and informed consent
- Clinic safety principles
Led by: Olena Yantsova and Justyna Grondke-Trąbska
1× livequiz · 12 questionsGuest — announced soon - Week2
Technology, parameters and the device decision
This is not about nano versus pico
Outcome: You can read a specification, match parameters to a case, and judge whether buying a device makes sense for you — and if it does, how to introduce it into a clinic so that it pays for itself.
Scope
- Laser types and wavelengths — what actually changes the outcome
- Nano or pico: where the real difference is, and where the manufacturer's marketing is
- Treatment parameters and what drives them
- Differences between pigments
- How to introduce a device into the clinic's offer
- When buying makes sense, and when to refer the client on
- Running costs, servicing, and the real cost of one treatment
- Common selection errors and where they come from
Led by: Olena Yantsova and Justyna Grondke-Trąbska
1× livequiz · 12 questionsGuest — announced soon - Week3
Case assessment and treatment planning
From the 'before' photo to a series plan
Outcome: You classify the case, plan a series with realistic intervals, and can tell the client what to expect — without promising an outcome.
Scope
- Case classification
- PMU versus tattoo scenarios
- Cases you do not take
- Intervals between treatments
- Workshop: participant cases
- Working with skin after trauma
- The chemistry and physics of difficult pigments
- Laser versus chemical removers
- The skin's regenerative potential
Led by: Olena Yantsova and Justyna Grondke-Trąbska
1× livequiz · 10 questionsGuest — announced soon - Week4
Business, brand and client
Why you do not compete on price
Outcome: You have a clinic workflow, a price you can defend, and a concrete way to bring clients in for this service — plus a schedule that does not eat your weekends.
Scope
- Clinic workflow from enquiry to result
- Documentary photography that sells the next treatment
- Positioning: why the lowest price is the shortest way down
- Pricing a series, and talking about money without discounting
- Where removal clients genuinely come from
- Communication, social media and difficult conversations
- Schedule, capacity and work-life balance
- Final case review

Included in the programmeLive sessions
Four live meetings. Both instructors every time, plus a guest from the industry.
A live session is not a lecture. It is an hour spent on your cases, correcting mistakes and answering questions — and each week someone who has been doing this for decades joins us.
The live sessions are part of the four-week programme — they are not sold separately and cannot be joined without enrolling in a cohort. This is not the free webinar. The webinar is open to everyone and runs for an hour. These four sessions are for cohort participants, run on your cases, and return every week.
Always Olena and Justyna
Both instructors are on every call. One looks at it from the procedure, the other from running a clinic — and they often disagree. That is the most useful part.
An industry guest every week
Each session has a guest with many years of hands-on practice in skin, pigment or laser work. Not a sponsor — a practitioner.
Your cases, not our slides
You submit cases before the session. We go through them by name, with the decision and the reasoning — including the ones we would decline.
Questions collected in advance
Send questions before the call, anonymously if you prefer. None goes unanswered; anything we cannot fit in gets a written reply.
A recording after every session
Cannot make it live? The recording appears in your materials afterwards and stays with you.
Friday evenings
After the clinic, not during it. You know the dates from day one — they are in the programme.

Special guests
Every live session has a guest from the industry — someone with many years, often 25, of hands-on practice in skin, pigment or laser work. The point is that you hear more than just us: someone who has seen far more cases than one cohort can show you.
- Skin and healing: the real physiology of regeneration from the chair, without the textbook theory.
- PMU pigments: how the chemistry has evolved and how ruthlessly it reacts to a laser.
- Tattooing from behind the scenes: an artist's perspective on what equipment makers keep quiet about.
- Difficult cases: ready rescue procedures for when a treatment does not go to plan.
- The high-maintenance client: firm boundaries and assertive communication against unrealistic expectations.
Guest names are announced before the cohort starts and before each price stage opens. We invite people with real, verifiable practice — and we announce nobody who has not confirmed the date.

Implementation
One thing you put into practice this week. Not ten.
Exam and certificate
The certificate is for passing the exam, not for attending
A short quiz after every module and one exam at the end — on what we work through together over the four weeks. All of it on the platform, with reminders, so you do not have to keep track of anything.
A quiz after every module
After each of the four weeks, a short quiz: 10–12 questions, 70% to pass, unlimited attempts. It is not there to keep anyone out — it shows you what you have not absorbed yet, before the live session discusses it.
The final exam
One exam at the end: questions from all four weeks, plus one case to assess, the way you would in the room. Nothing from outside the programme, and three attempts — the point is not to catch anyone out, it is that the certificate means something.
Certificate of completion
Issued once you pass: your name, the date, the programme scope and a number to verify it against. And that is the moment — you are officially part of the Gangsta Lasers crew.

Instructors
Olena and Justyna
The programme is taught by the founders of Gangsta Lasers — not by guest lecturers.
A laser removes nothing. Its job is to break pigment particles into smaller fractions so the body can metabolise them. Anyone who does not understand that is working on instinct.
About Gangsta Lasers
- Founded
- 2021
- Offices
- Wrocław and Szczecin, Poland
- Technology
- Nanosecond and picosecond lasers
- We train
- Linergists, tattoo studios, salons, clinics
Gangsta Lasers was founded in 2021. We built it to educate and to show that laser removal can be carried out safely and effectively. That is still the mission.
Alongside supplying devices — nanosecond and picosecond lasers — we train linergists, tattoo studios, salons and aesthetic clinics. We teach laser physics, the chemistry of light, working from real cases, and combining techniques with removers.
We do it because we see the results of treatments carried out without that knowledge too often: open skin, weeping wounds, burns, scarring and hyperpigmentation. Almost never out of carelessness — out of having no protocol.
The Academy is the natural next step: the same knowledge, arranged as a programme you can return to. We want the person on the other side of the laser to be a professional who understands it, not someone guessing at parameters.
Olena Yantsova
Co-founder of Gangsta Lasers · leads the whole programme
Co-founded Gangsta Lasers to show that laser removal can be run calmly, predictably and with complete documentation. She works daily with clients and with linergists just entering laser work — and this programme came out of those conversations. In the programme she leads the clinical side: consultation, technology and case assessment.

- Clinic practice: PMU and tattoo removal
- Trains linergists and tattoo studios
Justyna Grondke-Trąbska
Co-founder of Gangsta Lasers · leads the whole programme
On the commercial and procedural side, she makes sure a laser is not an expensive toy but a service with costed pricing, a clear protocol and a satisfied client. In the programme she leads implementation: clinic workflow, documentation, client communication and pricing.

Notes from the studio
One subject a week, until the programme starts
Every week, one thing from the treatment room: a parameter, a protocol, or a conversation with a client that taught us something. Short, specific, no theory we do not use in practice. Written by Olena and Justyna.
A new note every Friday until the Founding Edition starts on 8 January. We announce each subject a week ahead — if you want them in your inbox, sign up below.

Why the Fitzpatrick scale is not enough to set parameters
A phototype tells you how skin reacts to sun. It does not tell you how much melanin sits under the beam today — and that is the question you answer when you set the energy.

- laser parameter selection

Price the series, not the single session
"How much is one session?" is the wrong question and the wrong answer. A per-session price hides how many sessions there will be, and moves the risk onto you.

For teams
A whole clinic, salon or studio
Buying for a team? There is no seat cap, so the whole team joins the same cohort and learns from the same cases. Participants submit the cases for the live sessions, and each week we choose the ones that teach the group most. If you need certainty that yours are the ones discussed, that is the VIP package.
Ask about team access- One contact, one company order, one invoice with your VAT number on it.
- Prices are net — a Polish order adds 23% VAT. EU businesses with a valid VAT number account for the tax themselves.
- A proforma invoice and a bank transfer instead of a card, if that is how your accounting works.
- Separate access per person: their own login, their own quizzes, their own certificate after the exam.
The number of seats, the payment date and the invoice details are agreed individually — tell us how many people and which clinic, and we will come back with specifics.
The price only goes up
This price will not come back
- The price moves in one direction only, and only on dates fixed in advance — never back down.
- No sales and no "last chance" after enrolment closes.
- Enrolment for the Founding Edition closes on 8 January 2027. The next cohort starts from the final-stage price, not the founding one.
- Whoever joins now pays the lowest price this programme will ever carry.
This is a commitment, not a device. If we ever decide to discount, this sentence comes off the page first.
Payment and paperwork
Before you click
The questions we get most. All subject to confirmation with our accountant before sales open.
- Prices are net; VAT is added
Every amount on this page is net. Stripe adds VAT at checkout — 23% in Poland, and for orders from abroad the rate follows the buyer's country and VAT number. You see the total before you confirm the payment, and the invoice always shows the net amount, the VAT and the total.
- Invoice
Every order is invoiced. For a business purchase you enter your tax number at checkout.
- Withdrawal and refunds
You have 7 days from the purchase to get the whole amount back — 100%, VAT included, no fee and no reason required. You start it yourself on the refund page: enter the e-mail address you paid with, click the link we send, and the money goes back the same way it came. After 7 days write to contact@gangstalasers.com and we look at it individually.
- Changing dates
Live session recordings appear after each meeting, so missing one does not mean losing the material.
- Access after purchase
Your place in the cohort is reserved once the payment is confirmed — not on the screen you return to from the payment provider. The platform itself opens on 8 January 2027, with the start of the programme; the login details arrive by e-mail.
FAQ
The questions we get most
If something is missing, write to us and we will add it.
Do I need my own device?
Not to take part. The implementation work will be most useful if you have access to a device, though — your own or one at the clinic where you work. If you are considering a purchase, week two will help you read a specification before you sign anything.
Is this a medical course or a licence?
No. It is a professional programme for people working with pigment in skin. It confers no medical credentials and does not replace qualifications required by law. Check the permitted scope of practice in your country with the competent authority.
I cannot attend the live sessions. Is it still worth it?
Yes. Every session is recorded and added to the materials. You can submit questions in advance — we collect them before each meeting and answer them live, whether or not you are at the screen.
How long do I have access to the materials?
12 months from the cohort start — video modules, written companions, workbooks and recordings of every live session.
Do I get a certificate?
Yes, a Gangsta Lasers Academy certificate of completion after finishing the four modules. It confirms participation in the programme; it is not a state licence.
How does VIP differ from the standard package?
VIP adds an in-person practical day in a group of at most six people, with individual review of your cases. The six-person limit is real — it follows from the format, not from marketing.
Is the programme about one specific device?
No. We cover laser types, wavelengths and the logic of parameter selection so you can assess the device you work with. It is not an operating manual for one model.
What language is the programme in?
Materials, live sessions and workbooks are written in Polish, and the Founding Edition is taught in it. That does not close the programme to other markets: the recordings will carry transcripts and automatically generated translations, so the content becomes available in other languages. The live sessions stay in Polish.
What about safety and contraindications?
Safety and contraindications are part of week one and return in case assessment. Content in this area is approved by Olena and Justyna before publication — what you see on this page is still a draft.
When does the next cohort start?
We plan roughly two cohorts a year. If enrolment is closed, leave your address and we will notify you before the next public opening.
And if I decide after buying that it is not for me?
You have 7 days from the purchase to get the whole amount back — no questions, no deductions. You start it yourself: on the refund page you enter the e-mail address you paid with, and we send a link that confirms it. The money goes back the same way it came and the correction invoice arrives by e-mail. Your place then returns to the pool.

The first cohort, the lowest price and direct contact with the instructors. The next intake only opens after this one.
