Can nurses (RNs) perform FUE hair restoration?

December 22, 2023
Asked By:NorwoodQuestion in Sanger, California

I had FUE hair restoration (Neograft) done last year in California. However, the doctor did not do anything. They delegated the graft harvesting, incisions, and placing to two nurses. The doctor was in the operating room for only a few minutes. 14 months later and the results are poor. I have had three consultations with other doctors since, and they all said it was illegal to delegate FUE to nurses, saying only a doctor can harvest grafts and make incisions. Is it illegal for RNs to do FUE?
