LORENZO KUNZE II, CLS, MLS

OWNER / LEAD INSTRUCTOR

Lorenzo began his laser training at a very young age. His family’s first clinic and college opened over 75 years ago and was located in his grandmother Helen’s house. When Lorenzo was a kid he would come home from school to two very strong and influential people who worked very hard to be at the forefront of technology and education within the aesthetic community. As the son of Lorenzo Kunze Sr. and the grandson of Helen Kunze, he was granted the privilege of being handed down two generations of knowledge and expertise in this field.​

​

Lorenzo is a fully certified veteran in the laser tattoo removal and laser education industry. In 22 plus years of practicing and teaching the art of tattoo removal, Lorenzo has had the honor of being the head laser instructor for several of the top laser colleges in the U.S. He is often privately contracted by some of the top laser manufactures in the industry to assist with training and technical protocol and is considered to be one of the top tattoo removal experts in the world. These types of opportunities and experiences have afforded him with a wealth of knowledge, along with the opportunity to teach and mentor some of the finest laser technicians in the world. 

​

Lorenzo was raised in Colorado, lives Toronto, and works in New York. He continues to always give back to each communities. He has made it a necessity to donated his time and resources to helping teens and adults who are trying to make positive life changes. Here at ILA we make it part of our job to give back and pay it forward to the public by offering free tattoo removal treatments to those who are in need but cant afford it. We offer these services to clients that have been rehabilitated, ex-gang members who are going through a youth rehabilitation program,  and single mothers and fathers who are having trouble finding work due to their tattoos.

​

One of the greatest rewards that tattoo removal offers is seeing how it can help heal sensitive memories from the past, while also providing clients with a second chance to make a first impression. We are very passionate about what we do, and we have witnessed first-hand how important tattoo removal is to the people we treat on a daily basis.

​​

“In all my years practicing tattoo removal, I have always felt very privileged and honored to help my clients obtain a clean slate and begin a fresh start; whether it is removing a tattoo or helping my students run successful practices”​​​

​

“My goal and mission is to provide the most advanced, informative, and supportive training available. I do this in order to aid my students in becoming the finest laser technicians in the world. I enjoy seeing my students achieve their goals, build confidence, and work in an industry that I am truly passionate about. I will never choose profits over my students nor will I compromise my reputation or mission. I am here to educate and build long-lasting relationships with everyone I get the great pleasure of teaching and working with...”​   -  Lorenzo Kunze II, CLS, MLS

Misty Forsberg began her career in the Body Art industry, working in body piercing and tattoo studios since 2005. This time within the body art industry provided an in depth understanding of the application of tattoos and the various techniques, pigments, and processes utilized within that industry. Prior to entering her career with laser tattoo removal, she spent several years working with the body art industry and the state of Arkansas to improve the legislation surrounding body art and pass new laws to protect the industry within the state.

 

This time working with the tattoo industry shed light on the needs of both the client and artist when tattoo removal is desired and built a bridge between her old career and new as she transitioned into the world of tattoo removal. She completed her training with the International Laser Academy in 2013 and continued to work under her mentor at Fade Fast Laser Tattoo Removal after, choosing to focus solely on the industry of laser tattoo removal. After her time there, she relocated to Quebec City, Quebec in Canada, where she has focused on learning French and building the industry of laser tattoo removal in her new city.

 

Now, after 8 years in the industry, she has begun teaching with the International Laser Academy in order to offer the opportunity she was given to those in the French speaking community of Quebec.
