Permanent Hair Removal Regulation in Preston
In Preston, be aware that in some countries – including the United States – hair removal is an unregulated procedure that anyone can do. In other places, only doctors and doctor-supervised nurse practitioners can do it while in other cases permission extends to licensed professionals, such as regular nurses, physician assistants, estheticians, and/or cosmetologists.
For example, the Florida Board of Medicine has determined that the use of lasers, laser-like devices and IPL devices is considered the practice of medicine, and requires they be used only by a physician, an osteopathic physician, a physician assistant under the supervision of a physician, or an advanced registered nurse practitioner working under a protocol signed by a physician. What is it like in Preston?
Prior to signing with a doctor or practitioner in Preston, make sure she or he is allowed to perform permanent hair removal with the technique you have chosen.
