Questions on becoming a practitioner.

I know that this is cross-posted, but I am very curious on the certifications required for becoming a laser practitioner in the state of Washington, as opposed to electrolysis.

I have searched the site and others for certifications regaurding becoming a practitioner. I know it varies widely from state to state. I live in Washington state. I was wondering if anybody could help me out, or at least point me in the right direction for finding what certifications one must meet in this state to become a certified practitioner (or even if certification is required. I know that the piercing and tattooing industry in this state is largely unregulated). Also, does anybody recommend any particular schools? How long would the classes take? Thank you very much for any help you guys can give. It seems like a growing industry (excuse the pun), that seems to offer quite a bit of job insurance!

Cutta;
I know regulation just recently changed regarding Laser within this state. Being certified by an electrolysis organization is no longer accepted. They are now considering it Medical Invasive Procedure and require Medical Training as well as either a Doctor or Physicians Assistant must be on site anytime laser is being performed.
I might add that they are considering going after spa’s that perform Laser Treatments for Performing Medical Procedures without a Medical License. So look over the regulations closely before proceding.
