Tina Henrietta E. Czech has studied in France the USA, Germany and United Kingdom and is a registered training provider, university lecturer and clinician who specialises in remedial dermal, scar and post operative therapy. She is the President of the Australian Society of Dermal Clinicians (ASDC) and holds a Bachelor of Health Science in Clinical Dermal Therapies from Victoria University, Graduate Diploma in Clinical Nutrition, Diploma in Aesthetic and Electrotherapy and a Certificate IV in Workplace Training and Assessment. During her 16 years of clinical practice, she has had over 3,000 hours of operating room experience with Australia's most renowned cosmetic and plastic re-constructive surgeons and dermatologists.

Tina is the founder and principal of the Australian Institute of Laser Therapy, which is a registered training organisation that assists medical and allied health practitioners, nurses and therapists to learn the underpinning science and practical hands on application of clinical laser therapy and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL).

As a specialist in high level laser for dermatological treatment, her main area of interest is in low level laser application, to which she was introduced in 1994 by Dr Mary Dyson who was conducting tissue repair research at Guys Hospital in London. This method of laser application is non thermal and can effectively reduce pain and inflammation and accelerate natural healing and regeneration processes in all types of tissues and skin, without risk of thermal injury associated with high level lasers and IPL.

Consequently Tina has written several courses on the subject of laser science and clinical low level laser therapy and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), which have been accredited and registered by the Victorian Registration and Qualifications Authority (VRQA) and are nationally recognised.  This includes an intensive ‘Laser Science and Safe Use of Laser and Intense Pulsed Light’ course, which has been approved by Government Radiation Health Authorities as a pre-requisite for obtaining a licence to operate laser devices in various states of Australia. This course is followed by a Graduate Certificate in Clinical Laser Therapy and Intense Pulsed Light for Dermatology and Scar Repair and a Graduate Certificate in Clinical Laser Therapy for Musculoskeletal Conditions, Pain and Wound Healing.

Tina is involved in ongoing scientific research and is a member of the Honorary Board of Directors for the World Academy for Laser Applications (WALA) and a member of the Medical Laser Committee for Australian Standards and Wound Management Association of Victoria. She is well recognised both in Australia and overseas for her educational contributions in the areas of Laser, Dermatology, Tissue Repair, Nutritional Health and Anti-Ageing, and is a regular speaker at major national and international conferences.

The Australian Institute of Laser Therapy (AILT) registration no: 20126 was officially opened on the 9th December 1997 by the secretary general of the World Association for Laser Therapy (WALT) Dr Glen Calderhead, as the first registered and nationally recognised post graduate training facility for laser therapy in Australia.

Providing accredited training at a Graduate Certificate level for medical, allied health professionals, nurses and therapists to enter into the field of clinical phototherapy. Facilitating the essential underpinning theoretical knowledge and the practical tuition that is critical for successful and safe application of laser and non laser intense pulsed light (IPL).

The Australian Institute of Laser Therapy(AILT) has been assisting practitioners since 1996 in selecting the most suitable phototherapy equipment to significantly reinforce their existing clinical treatments in measurable ways for dermatological treatment, tissue repair, non needle acupoint stimulation, pain management, post operative care, arthritis, musculoskeletal conditions.
