Regulation
In some countries—including the U.S.—hair removal is an unregulated procedure that anyone can do. In some places, only doctors and doctor-supervised personnel can do it while in other cases permission extends to licensed professionals, such as regular nurses, physician assistants, estheticians, and/or cosmetologists. The Florida Board of Medicine has determined that the use of lasers, laser-like devices and intense pulsed light devices is considered the practice of medicine, and requires they be used only by a Physician, an Osteopathic Physician, a Physician Assistant under the supervision of a physician, or an Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner under a protocol signed by a Physician. An Electrologist working under the direct supervision and responsibility of a Physician is also allowed to perform laser hair removal in the state of Florida.

Famous quotes containing the word regulation:
“Lots of white people think black people are stupid. They are stupid themselves for thinking so, but regulation will not make them smarter.”
—Stephen Carter (b. 1954)
“Nothing can be more real, or concern us more, than our own sentiments of pleasure and uneasiness; and if these be favourable to virtue and unfavourable to vice, no more can be requisite to the regulation of our conduct and behavior.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“Nothing changes my twenty-six years in the military. I continue to love it and everything it stands for and everything I was able to accomplish in it. To put up a wall against the military because of one regulation would be doing the same thing that the regulation does in terms of negating people.”
—Margarethe Cammermeyer (b. 1942)
