Until recently, several states allowed laser hair removal to be performed without much regulation.
For example, the state of Texas currently doesn’t require that a person performing laser hair removal to have a <a title=Laser certification at Canyon State Laser! rel=”nofollow” onclick=”javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(‘/outgoing/article_exit_link’);” rel=”external nofollow” target=”_blank” href=http://canyonstatelaser.com/page/1lq8d/Resources/Laser_Certifications.html>laser certification</a> from a certified laser school. But things are changing fast. Now salons, massage therapists and medical spas that perform laser hair removal in Texas, and possibly other states not currently strict on laser hair removal, will be demanding laser certification for all persons performing laser hair removal.
A bill currently moving in the state of Texas “would require laser hair-removal technicians to undergo training and obtain a state certificate.”
The reason for this legislation is because currently, anyone who wanted to perform laser hair removal on another person could, without a license. Laser hair removal is not like using a hair dissolving cream or a razor; it involves high-tech lasers to penetrate a skin’s surface to kill the hair follicles, which if not used properly, can cause burns and scarring. Laser hair removal does exactly as its name implies: an intense light beam shines through the skin and destroys hair follicles, which are necessary for hair growth. Specifically, the light beam targets hair’s melanin pigment.
For years, many dermatologists have agreed that for safety reasons, only a physician should perform the procedures. On the other hand, medical spas and other skin care establishments believe there are not enough physicians who can perform laser hair removal and it should be a certification open to everyone. The state of Texas and others can strike a balance by demanding laser certification from a reputable laser school for anyone planning on performing laser hair removal on the public.
What to Expect at a Laser School?
At several laser schools, a clinic is connected to the school for actual hands on training. After you pass several lecture classes and exams, you must have so many hours of actual hands on practice in order to be certified. You can expect to take business classes, theory, anatomy and legal classes as well as hands-on training on how to physically perform laser skin treatments. Depending on the degree at which one needs to be certified, some certifications can be met in a matter of days or weeks.
Instead of putting hundreds of people out of business, massage therapists, skin care clinics and others currently performing laser hair removal without a certification can simply be certified via laser school in a short amount of time. And the public can rest assured that an establishment that offers certified laser hair removal has been certified by state standards as well.
