Lasers treatments are the most unregulated medical procedure performed today. Many medi-spas and skin clinics that offer laser treatments do not have an experienced medical doctor on site to evaluate the patient before the procedure and to be present to deal with any potential complications.
Ideally, laser treatments should be performed in a medical setting (not in the so-called medi-spas or skin clinics), such as the offices of a dermatologist or a plastic surgeon.
The nurses and aestheticians who actually perform the laser procedures should be under the supervision of a plastic surgeon or dermatologist who is physically present on site. Presently, less than 20% of laser treatments are performed in such a manner.
