Who can perform laser hair removal?

Any cosmetic service should be performed in accordance with the standards and only in a specialized clinic. To make the procedure laser hair removal did not cause side effects, was painless and safe for the patient, it is important to choose a certified specialist and a licensed salon. Step-by-step instructions for choosing a qualified specialist to ensure the safety and quality of the procedure are described in detail in this article.

Licensed specialists and clinics

Currently, there are many places on the market of hardware cosmetology where you can undergo laser hair removal. Some of them are officially called laser cosmetology clinics, while others are called salons, offices, or studios. There are many variations, but the reality is that a hardware cosmetology room can be a mini-clinic with qualified specialists and the most modern lasers. And a loudly declared clinic may turn out to be a small salon in the basement, with one room and a few old laser devices. In other words, the name of the organization is, of course, a clue, but not always the right one.

It is important that the clinic is licensed by the Ministry of Health, as this gives it the full right to provide medical services. In addition, specialists must be accredited and have a higher medical education - only with these factors can they provide cosmetic services, equipment, and injection services.

Laser hair removal is considered a safe procedure, but only if it is performed in a licensed clinic:

1. First of all, it must have a license for the device. Laser hair removal is a type of medical service, so the equipment itself belongs to medical devices that must be certified (in this case, licensed). Many salons use equipment that is registered as household appliances. Thus, they deceive customers and charge a lot of money for their services.
2. You should ask to see the medical education documents of the specialists. Since lasers belong to the 3-4 hazard categories, they are designed to destroy tissue, so only people with appropriate training can work with them.
3. Before starting treatment in the clinic, an initial consultation should be held. This is necessary to get to know the patient, take anamnesis and study the characteristics of the body. In addition, the specialist must exclude possible contraindications, because if they are present, it is better to refrain from the laser hair removal procedure.
