Neetu,

I am Indian, so my skin type is IV-V. I had about 8 treatments on my face. I have done my arms, legs underarms and bikini now also - all needed about 8 /9 treatments.

I have a question for Namrita. How many treatments did you require for this procedure? And where?

In Illinois, you have to be an aesthetician / RN working under the supervision of an MD to use lasers. The companies that make the lasers certify you. There is no school here that offers a comprehensive program on lasers yet. Peels and Microderms should have been covered in your school.
Look for a job in a Medi Spa ( newspapers / internet ). When you interview, ask if your reponsibilities will include using laser and if the clinic will get you certified. Another option is to attend seminars / workshops that laser manufacterers have ( eg Lumenis is holding one in October ). You will be able to network there as many clinic managers are at these type of events.
