Who Can Legally Operate a Laser?
In many states, anyone with qualified laser training can operate a laser, though the treatments they perform may be restricted by state medical or cosmetology laws. In response to injuries and deaths resulting from laser procedures performed by untrained technicians, many states are in the process of enacting laws that designate who is allowed to operate a laser. Do your research so you know the laws in your state. Most laser training centers explain the current state laws, so be sure to ask about it when researching laser training programs.
