Best Botched IPL Procedure Lawyer in Florida

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) photofacial is a cosmetic procedure intended to improve skin tone, color, and texture without surgery. In the State of Florida, the IPL provider performing the procedure must be licensed to practice medicine (doctor, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant). A registered nurse may be able to perform IPL under the direct order and supervision of a physician.  If the IPL provider is not a licensed physician, he or she must be under the supervision of a licensed physician.  Your IPL provider should also be trained, skilled, and competent to use the specific IPL medical device used on you because not every machine functions the same way. Also, before your IPL procedure, a licensed healthcare provider should assess you, discuss the risks of the procedure, and tell you about the alternatives to the procedure.

Who can perform Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Cosmetic Treatments in Florida?

IPL photofacials are performed using FDA-cleared or approved medical devices that are prescription only. In the State of Florida IPL should not be performed by cosmetologists, facial specialists, or electrologists.
