I have read that some states allow "advanced practitioners" to perform hair transplants, is that different than a hair tech?

What parts of the transplant *must* MD/DOs perform? What parts are hair techs allowed to perform? If a state allows an "advanced practitioner" to perform a hair transplant, what type of licensing must they have and are they different from a hair technician? If a hair tech performs the whole procedure from beginning to end with the doctor just popping his head in every so often, is this illegal? Thank you for your time.
