As of now in the state of Texas the technicians who perform laser hair removal on someone, is not required to undergo training or have a certification. A bill has been proposed in Texas to change this, and demand all laser hair removal technicians be certified and the location at which this service is taken place, must carry a state licence to do so. Many argued that this is unnecessary and no one has known in the past whether they were trained, how or where they were being trained.
I feel that this is a step worth taken, time well spent on this topic. We should pass this bill and demand that ALL laser hair technicians throughout Texas should be certified as any other physicians, dermatologist, doctors, etc. do. If what they are doing is so safe and they swear by the work they do then why is it an issue? Sure money will be spent, but then your patients will feel more secure. It is safer this way. No one wants to go get information or have a surgery done by someone who has none or very little experience or training, so why this? In the article it says that there is approximately 1000 locations in Texas that do this type of work, and certainly there are precautions that should be made. When using the laser hair removal you may have side effects, however usually they will be temporary some could be permanent. i went and searched the side effects and precautions, nothing severe but having someone trained, maybe could lower the possabilities of having these side effects or even stop them from occurring at all.
So Should this bill be passed? Most definitely, it has to do with safety issues for those who perform and undergo. Someone who is well trained will most likely not make as many or any mistakes, will discuss precautions 1 on 1 with the patient, be up front and honest, and also will more so prepare you for the operation as compared to someone who is untrained.
Basically every job out there, someone is responsible for training you on that specific part of the job to make sure you know what your doing, how you are supposed to do it, and things you should definitely not do, there for it should be a no brainer on whether or not to do this. My answer is yes, absolutely, and i believe with this being done, more people would become interested and feel safer doing it.
