The American Board of Laser Surgery is pleased to collaborate with AACS to offer AACS members interested in an American Board of Laser Surgery Certification significant fee reductions and other benefits.
For over three decades, the American Board of Laser Surgery (ABLS) has believed that all laser and light practitioners must have a solid understanding of laser and light physics, tissue interaction, and safety to maximize treatment efficacy.
The ABLS Certification provides a valuable learning experience and superior knowledge of laser and light tissue interaction at the chomophore level for optimum treatment parameters. Diplomates can differentiate their practices to patients and augment manufacturer training.
The ABLS is the world’s only laser medical specialty board for Fundamental Laser Science, Delivery Systems, Laser and Light-tissue Interaction, Ethics and Laser Safety for all practitioners. They provide several Cosmetic Laser and Light Disciplines for cosmetic laser practitioners.
You will receive up to 28 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ through the SMA as part of the Certification process.
Through the collaboration, the ABLS offers AACS members savings of $395 or a 20% discount:
- Application Fee – $50 (standard rate $150)
- Study Guide / Written Examinations – $750 (standard rate $750)
