Who needs a physician and physician assistant scope for lasers and injectables in New Hampshire?
Issued by New Hampshire Board of Medicine (Office of Professional Licensure and Certification), at step 4 of 6 in the opening sequence: get the permits for your kind of business.
RSA 329:1 counts laser procedures that alter tissue as surgery, so laser hair removal, intense pulsed light and injectables are medical services performed by a physician or physician assistant, or by an advanced practice nurse within that license. A physician who delegates stays on site and responsible. An esthetician’s license does not cover medical lasers or injections. The medical side of the business belongs to the licensed practitioner.
