Dermatologist or Plastic Surgeon

I agree with your friend although I would expand this to plastic surgeons who are experienced in laser treatments. This would be especially true if this is an ablative procedure. Some excellent laser specialists no longer choose to perform this procedure. Ironically, we are now seeing "non-core" physicians such as Ob-Gyn, IM, radiologists even, feeling this void.

I would feel a bit more comfortable, though not much, if the nurse was under the supervision of a dermatologist. That way, if there were any complications, they could be properly addressed.
