State Medical Board question - can someone help?


I am a licensed esthetician (skin care) and cosmetologist who wants to purchase a laser for aesthetic treatments. These lasers have no worse complications for the patient than waxing or electrolosis, but my state medical board just announced 3 months ago that this laser light technology could only be used by licensed physicians, PAs and CRNs. This is a cosmetic procedure and persons practicing electrology have been operating these aesthetic lasers for over a decade, but now, the medical community wants all the profits for themselves. I feel this is a violation - how can they announce that a non-surgical apparatus can not be used by persons well educated in skin care and skin conditions???? I am going to consult my attorney but wanted others' opinions on this matter. Thanks.

The Board of Cosmetology did say that they need to look into this further. And the Medical Board is telling me that it is still under investigation, however, as it stands now, they have overtaken aesthetic lasering as their own. I'll have to wait and see what their next opinion will be. Thanks.

At this time, it might be too late. You can start a petition drive to change the rules that have been adopted by your state Medical Board. Your group should have an association to lobby to maintain the option for your field. You will probably have to get your field to start calling the Medical Board or you state legislators to get the Board to change its rules.

They may have overstepped their authority. Get your lawyer and a few other estheticians, or your association, to take them on.
