TEXAS and ARIZONA LASER REQUIREMENTS

Texas State Laser Hair Removal Requirements - June 2009 - HB 449 (Opens as PDF file) passes Tx legislature, and is signed by Governor. Click the link for the bill to read the entire document. In a nutshell it requires 24 hours of academic training to get started as an Apprentice in Training, and divides hair removal providers into four levels - 1. Apprentice in Training 2. Technician 3. Senior Technician 4. Certified Laser Hair Removal Professional. Requires National Certification for highest level of provider (See www.LaserCertification.org) It specifically states that Laser Hair Removal is NOT the practice of medicine.
Our Aesthetic Laser Procedures program (Seminar, Online/Home-Study)  incorporates Laser Hair Removal and qualifies for Texas training requirement.
