- Lorenzo's Story
-
Lorenzo was adopted at the age of 5 years old by Walter and Helen Kunze in
Denver Colorado. His adopted parents paid a grand total of $12.50 (court
cost) for Lorenzo as he was classified as dyslectic and a hard to place child in the mid
1950's. He had lived in 5 different foster care homes, an American Indian
reservation and an orphanage before being adopted.
Lorenzo is a true survivor and an extreme optimist. He feels very fortunate to
have been adopted not just into a family...but into a profession. Helen
and Walter were both in the permanent hair removal business. Since 1948
his parents Walter and Helen Kunze started an electrolysis business (for 50
years) in their home. His mom Helen had roots in the electrology profession since 1890,
as her uncles were pioneers in the electrolysis industry.
Having the luxury of being adopted is the reason that Lorenzo has enjoyed the
many children that he and his wife Martha have mentored, educated and become legal guardianship to
over the years. He actively supports adoption and foster care agencies that
assist orphaned and abandoned children.
Lorenzo is "paying it back" or "paying it forward" to what was once given to him and he is loving every minute of
it. Lorenzo believes that children today need role models, an example and/or a
friend that will guide them through that winding and narrow path...called life.
"Not all of the children that Martha and I have brought into our
family have made it through the
difficult times...but we do know the majority of them appreciate the time and
effort we have given them and the guidance that we have provided".
Lorenzo has been likened to a cactus...surviving where most cannot. Yes, prickly at
times, beautiful at moments. Solid as a rock, soft as clay...but, strong with
heart and soul.
In addition to his work at Rocky Mountain Laser College, Mr. Kunze has
been an owner and consultant at thirty privately-owned laser hair removal
practices in
Colorado, New York, Washington, Florida, Nevada, Texas, Georgia, Hawaii, Mexico,
Central America and Europe. Lorenzo has taught laser hair removal techniques to more than
two thousand medical and aesthetic professionals.
Lorenzo Kunze has served on four electrology boards during the past few decades, working as a liaison with
accreditation boards and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, initiating policy and procedure protocol for
certified laser specialists.
He has served as district representative for the International Guild of Professional Electrologists from 1987 to 1989, and
as a director of the Colorado Association of Electrologists. In 1992 the American Electrology Association appointed Mr. Kunze as the editor for the Journal of Electrology
and then in 1997 selected him to represent the Association at a conference in
Japan.

children that Lorenzo Sr and Martha have become guardians
for over the past 25 years.
I, like many of you, realize
that now is a very special time in the lives of medical and cosmetic
professionals - as consumers are requesting, desiring and needing cutting
edge technology.
Laser procedures are now a common occurrence and
professionals need to be properly trained if they are going to survive in
our everyday-work place.
The opportunity is now in your court, so take full
advantage of it... luxuriate in its benefits...learn it correctly and most
importantly...
ENJOY, ENJOY, ENJOY
life to its' fullest!
My present objective is to educate, promote and elevate cosmetic and medical professionals to the top of their fields. Through
proper EDUCATION, the marriage of cosmetic and medical applications...will, can and has been a benefit for both the consumer and the allied health professional.
I have devoted over 35 years of building a career consisting of cosmetic and medical applications and procedures designed to
enhance the electrology, cosmetic and medical profession. By teaching, working and associating with electrologists,
aestheticians, physicians and fellow allied health educators', we can see the advantages of developing proper medical protocol.
These advancements, benefits and protocols will assist all enhancement specialists’ into the new millennium.
I have endeavored
to be on the cutting edge of medical technology, cosmetic advancements and medical education and at the same time learning,
educating and serving the public. Our patients/clients have recognized the psychological, cosmetic and medical rewards that are
produced from our works. This has established in us an outstanding image, impeccable credibility and long-lasting confidence
that makes it all worth providing.
My lifetime objective is to live life to its’ very fullest with an equal balance in my family, my work and my God (because of my imperfections...they
are not always in that order)!
