Who needs a physician delegation and supervision of cosmetic medical procedures in Delaware?
Issued by Delaware Board of Medical Licensure and Discipline (Division of Professional Regulation), at step 4 of 6 in the opening sequence: get the permits for your kind of business.
Laser hair removal, intense pulsed light and injectables are the practice of medicine: performed by a physician, or by a nurse practitioner, physician assistant or nurse to whom a physician delegates them and whom the physician supervises. The cosmetology rules say laser hair removal is not cosmetology and bar cosmetologists and aestheticians from it, and a physician may not delegate to anyone the rules exclude. The medical side of the business answers to a licensed practitioner.
