The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) has deemed that a laser hair removal treatment is indeed a medical procedure. The problem comes in is that licensing requirements are not the same from this state to that state. You should check into the requirements to be a state licensed laser hair removal professional from whichever state you reside. But, if you live in New Jersey, there's definitely something that you should know. Only a licensed physician can legally perform laser hair removal procedures under certain circumstances. If your procedure is going to involve an IPLD device or a laser, they are strictly prohibited to allow either one of their nurses or technicians to perform the procedure.
So your first choice for a NJ laser hair removal procedure should definitely be a licensed physician and you might want to ensure that they have been trained with using the laser hair removal equipment, just ask them and get comfortable with them. Even if you find out that a laser hair removal procedure isn't right for you and you and the physician decide upon another type of procedure, for your safety you would want a board-certified physician supervising any type of medical procedures you may under-go.
Not only that, but you also would want to make sure that the doctor is board-certified in a particular field of practice to perform laser hair removal. What you are looking for here is a doctor that specializes in dermatology or some form of cosmetic surgery. You wouldn't want a foot doctor removing hair from more sensitive areas just because they are certified. Now I'm not knocking them at all, just if you are anything like me I'd want a foot doctor to work on my feet and either a dermatologist or plastic/cosmetic surgery doctor working on the hair on my skin for a laser hair removal treatment.
Also, another qualification to make my list for a NJ laser hair removal specialist is they've got to have some experience. I wouldn't want to be number 1 for that doctor just starting out. Yeah you might catch some deals for a laser hair removal procedure if you become part of their "laser hair removal portfolio" and show your before and after pictures of your laser hair removal procedure, but I wouldn't want to be first in line at the office. I wouldn't even want to be the tenth laser hair removal procedure that the doctor has performed. No offense, but to make my list, you need to have a couple hundred laser hair removal procedures under your belt and been in the laser hair removal business for at least a year.
Kind of walking hand in hand with my experience qualification to make the list, you've got to have a well-rounded office or clinic to perform the laser hair removal procedure. Now again I'm not talking about spacious living or anything here but more along the lines of multiple types of laser hair removal machines as there are quite a few. Why? Simple because different lasers are needed to work on different types of skins and hair textures. If you don't have a multitude of these laser hair removal machines it shows to me a lack of experience and a definite "new-ness" to the profession.
If you are in New Jersey, find out where they were trained as they have to have had some form of training to become licensed in the state of New Jersey. Again, I wouldn't advise getting a laser hair removal procedure or any other type of this form of medical procedure done by someone who wasn't trained in their craft. I'm talking hands-on laser hair removal training here. One where they were supervised and instructed. Shows a bit of a commitment to me for someone to take time away from their practice to receive this type of specialized training in laser hair removal. I definitely wouldn't want someone who was either shown by their sales representative or is simply a book worm and book smart. Yes, beware, these scenario's still come about and I'd suggest you diligently due your homework and research different NJ laser hair removal clinics and physicians before making your choice.
Don't forget about the referral route either as these sometimes turn out to be a great source of information that at times will put you in contact with some very real, trained professionals. But it should be no substitute for doing your homework first and creating your own list and criteria for finding that outstanding New Jersey laser hair removal clinic or professional that will do their best in providing you their service of laser hair removal.
