Had a consultation yesterday at a very nice dermatology clinic. I met with the woman who would be doing my miradry. I Asked her if she was a RN and she said no I am a medical assistant. She also said the whole procedure takes 2-2.5 hours but when I was researching online I read it only takes about an hour. I asked her how long she has been doing it she said a year. Hmmmm Do they license medical assistants to do miradry? Or is this clinic crazy?
