Misbah Khan MD, FAAD, FACMS · Answer

laser lipolysis machines as per NY state law must be operated by a physician in a surgical setting as these are invasive lasers. if the laser machine is sold to a salon its very likely an over the counter device which is likely to not be as effective as the actual machines are.
