Laser Hair Removal Certification

Although it is considered a medical procedure, requirements for laser hair removal certification vary from state to state. This lack of uniformity can sometimes be a disadvantage for clients. In order to ensure your own safety and success with the treatment, it is wise to ask your technician for details about his or her laser hair removal certification.

Some states require the physical presence of a physician during all laser hair removal procedures. Others simply require that a supervising physician take legal responsibility for all the procedures his or her technicians perform. In either case, for laser hair removal certification to mean anything, there must be a licensed medical doctor on staff at the clinic.

Laser Hair Removal Certification and Experience

Regardless of how stringent your state's requirements may be, do not confuse laser hair removal certification with experience. Success in performing laser hair removal on multiple clients (with a variety of skin and hair types) is the key to a good laser hair removal clinic. Just as passing a written driver's test does not automatically make a person a good driver, obtaining laser hair removal certification does not in itself ensure the skill of a technician.

In addition to inquiring about the credentials of your clinic and its technicians, it's a good idea to ask for client referrals. A reputable clinic will be happy to supply such information.
