Main Information
<p>Laser and Intense Pulsed Light, IPL systems used for hair removal, are used by trained doctors, surgeons or nurses. </p> <p>Some manufacturers have also produced machines that can be used safely by trained beauticians or aestheticians. Please check that a properly qualified practitioner is treating you.</p> <p>Please also note that since 1st October 2010 all clinics offering laser and light treatments for purely cosmetic indications such as hair removal are no longer required to be registered with the Care Quality Commission in England (regulations still apply in other countries). Previously clinics needed to follow certain standards for the safe operation and maintenance of these machines, and receive regular inspections by the CQC to ensure that national minimum standards were followed. In some English regions clinics and salons will still be regulated by local councils under health & safety regulations. However, many clinics who offer laser & IPL hair removal also offer other light based treatments that do require CQC registration.<br /> <br />For more information about practitioner training, qualifications and relevant medical organisations please view the information contained within the <a href="https://www.consultingroom.com/Services/Legislation/" target="_self">Legislation</a> section of the Consulting Room.</p>
