Hair Removal Methods Laser hair removal

Hi everyone! im writing a paper on the dangers of Laser Hair Removal. This paper can give me a rather large grant to regulate Laser Hair Removal. and since regulation is a state issue (not federal) i was wondering if anyone knew the state regulations for removal. as in, who is able to preform the removal, if licenses are necessary, and any state statistics that are available. This site helped my knoledge of laser hair removal and i would like to do the same for New York, if not the entire US. Also, soon i might post a survey, and i would love if you all would take it. It is completely anonymous and it would mean the world to me.
thank you all,
Beth

it varies per state

i know it varies… i cant find anything online. I figured the best place to ask for help would be in a forum like this. since many people here have either had laser hair removal, practice laser hair removal or have looked into laser hair removal. and since it seems many people are from different areas, maybe someone could help.

The state of Ohio is incomplete on the hairfacts chart. You can go to http://med.ohio.gov/CTACminutes2003.htm . Click on August minutes and find good information on pages 7-9 for updated information.

Basically,the rules are, a physician may delegate the use of light base devices like lasers to a physicians assistant, registered nurse, licensed practical nurse or an electrologist/cosmetic therapist. But it goes deeper than that as you will see if you read the link above.
