Who is Qualified to Do an IPL Treatment? I.e. Is a Physician Assistant Qualified?

Question

Vivek Bansal, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. This will depend on the state you live in.  Some states allow medical assistants to administer laser and broad band light procedures.  California and New York, among others have more strict criteria in order to administer these type of treatments. I hope this helps.

Sabrina Fabi, MD · Answer

The definition of "qualified" is ambiguous at best.  I would personally see a board certified dermatologist who is in a primarily laser and light device practice, which typically means they perform a good amount of procedures and have the experience - which is the most important thing.

Mitchel Goldman, MD · Answer

The legal qualifications required to perform IPL will vary based on where you live; however, I suggest only seeing a board-certified dermatologist with extensive laser experience for IPL treatment to ensure the best result. Not only are there many different types of IPL machines, but training and experience are important so that the best results are obtained. Lumenis is the company that developed the IPL and has the most advanced machines.
