Who Should Attend

Cosmetic Laser Training for Every Healthcare Professional

Our hands-on cosmetic laser and facial aesthetics courses in New York City, NY are designed for licensed healthcare providers at every stage of their career.

Registered Nurses (RNs)

Expand your clinical skills into cosmetic laser treatments. Laser certification and facial aesthetics training open high-demand career paths in med spas and dermatology clinics.

Nurse Practitioners (NPs)

Leverage your advanced practice license in cosmetic laser procedures. NPs can often practice independently, making laser treatments and facial aesthetics an ideal revenue stream.

Physician Assistants (PAs)

Add cosmetic laser procedures to your clinical toolkit. PA training in laser resurfacing, IPL, and facial aesthetics is one of the fastest-growing specializations in aesthetic medicine.

Physicians (MDs & DOs)

Expand your practice with cosmetic laser services. Laser resurfacing, IPL photofacials, and laser hair removal offer physicians significant revenue growth and patient demand.

Dentists

Complement your dental practice with cosmetic laser and facial aesthetics services. Many dental patients seek cosmetic treatments, creating a natural cross-referral opportunity.

Med Spa Owners

Expand your med spa's service menu with cosmetic laser treatments. Laser resurfacing, IPL, and laser hair removal are among the most requested services driving patient volume and revenue.

Scope of Practice

Who Can Perform Cosmetic Laser Procedures in New York?

In New York, 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.

New York has reduced practice authority for nurse practitioners, requiring NPs to maintain a collaborative agreement with a physician for cosmetic laser procedures. Physician assistants must work under physician supervision as defined by the New York 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 New York 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.
