- 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.

The past thirteen (15) years have been devoted to laser research and its' development for permanent hair reduction.

Because of Lorenzo’s extensive expertise, the Rocky Mountain Laser College (RMLC) is now over a three (3) million dollar a year - hair removal practice.

Lorenzo has utilized the skills of medical professionals throughout his long career, which ensures a proper and medical environment to all of his patients and clients. In the past 10 years RMLC, oversaw six (6) practices in Denver, Lakewood, Littleton, Colorado Springs, Englewood, and Harvard Park. Just a few of the physicians involved with Lorenzo are: Stephen Eubanks, MD - Brian Aikin, MD - Lester Cramer, MD - Dennis Kotelko, MD - Thomas Castellano, MD.

Some of the laser practices provide patients with services such as laser hair removal, laser tattoo removal, laser spider/leg vein removal, laser vascular lesion removal and laser skin resurfacing, All of which make the RMLC a full service laser center.
