Who needs a physician supervision of lasers and injectables in Kansas?

Issued by Kansas State Board of Healing Arts, at step 4 of 6 in the opening sequence: get the permits for your kind of business.

1 of the 20 kinds of business in Kansas

Laser hair removal, intense pulsed light and injectables are the practice of medicine in Kansas: a physician performs them or delegates them to a trained nurse or physician assistant under the Board’s supervision rules, which for lasers require the physician on site or immediately available. Cosmetology and esthetics licensees may not operate lasers. Bills to let nurses do laser hair removal without on-site supervision (SB 461 and HB 2643, 2024) died in committee.
