Larry Helwig graduated from Arizona State University with a BSN degree and later graduated from Maricopa County General Hospital’s Emergency Nurse Practitioner Program. He has been using his medical background in the laser aesthetics industry for 20 years. After establishing Phoenix Medical, Inc. as a laser and aesthetic equipment sales company, he established Clearskin Institute of Laser Aesthetics as a “result oriented” treatment and training facility. For the last 20 years Larry has been training physicians, and their staff, in advanced techniques for skin and body consultations and the full body treatments that follow. In 2006 Larry developed and authored the CT3 protocol that treats color, tone, texture and tightening in each session. This protocol is used world-wide and helps generate faster results with little patient down-time. He is a well-known international speaker and educator providing advanced laser aesthetic training, and certification to physicians and their staff. Clearskin Institute is accredited by the state of Arizona to train and certify physician, nurses and aestheticians in the safe and proper use of lasers. His unique, insightful approach to educating has made Clearskin Institute the recognized advanced laser training facility in the country. He is a board member of the United Aesthetics Organization and the Arizona Board of Nursing, serving on the Scope of Practice Committee. Additionally, he volunteers much of his time to non-profit training.
