Browse CoursesWho Should Attend
Our hands-on cosmetic laser and facial aesthetics courses in Los Angeles, CA are designed for licensed healthcare providers at every stage of their career.
Scope of Practice
In Los Angeles, cosmetic laser procedures including laser resurfacing, IPL photofacials, laser hair removal, and other light-based aesthetic treatments may be performed by licensed physicians (MDs and DOs), dentists, nurse practitioners (NPs), physician assistants (PAs), and registered nurses (RNs) operating within their defined scope of practice and applicable state regulations governing laser device use.
Los Angeles is a restricted practice state for nurse practitioners, with NPs traditionally requiring standardized procedures with a supervising physician for laser procedures. Recent legislative updates are expanding NP practice authority. Physician assistants must work under physician supervision as defined by the Los Angeles medical board. Registered nurses may operate cosmetic laser devices only under the direct delegation and supervision of a licensed physician or qualified advanced practice provider.
All practitioners performing cosmetic laser procedures in Los Angeles should verify their scope of practice and laser-specific regulations with the relevant state licensing board. Completing accredited training — such as Empire Medical Training's CME-certified laser certification courses — is essential before offering cosmetic laser treatments to patients.
