Who should perform laser treatments?

Laser treatments should be performed by licensed and trained professionals due to the complexity and potential risks associated with these procedures. Professionals who are properly licensed have undergone extensive education and training that covers not only the technical operation of laser devices but also the necessary understanding of skin anatomy, potential complications, contraindications, and safety protocols. This background ensures that they can assess a patient’s unique needs and conditions accurately.

Moreover, licensed professionals are typically regulated by state or national bodies, which enforces standards for practice, helping to ensure patient safety and effective outcomes. Conducting laser treatments without this level of training increases the risk of injury, improper treatment, or suboptimal results, which underscores the importance of having trained personnel perform these advanced skincare procedures.
