Laser hair removal is the practice of medicine in South Carolina: a physician, physician assistant or nurse practitioner performs it, or supervises on site when a trained nurse does, after the patient has been assessed. Injectables are delegated by a physician to a nurse after an examination; estheticians may not use lasers or inject. The clinical side of the business belongs to a licensed physician or physician-owned practice, with the spa’s cosmetology services under their own licenses.
