Laser and Intense Light treatments are subject to numerous state regulations which change constantly, frustrating and confusing manufacturers of such devices and providers of such services. Many states have increased the level of scrutiny of health and safety issues related to the use of lasers and intense pulsed light devices for cosmetic treatments. New statutes and regulations have been proposed and task forces to study these issues have been formed. LILIS™ (Laser and Intense Light Information Service) maintains an updated database of relevant regulations and professional board recommendations in all 50 states. We constantly track over 400 state and federal organizations (e.g State Legislatures, Medical and Nursing Boards, etc.) and provide focused, comprehensive, cost-effective reports.
This bulletin brings you an example of the constantly evolving regulations with the focus this time on the state of Missouri.
