If you are offering IPL and laser treatments for hair removal, skin rejuvenation, thread vein or tattoo removal you may need a Special Treatment Licence from your Local Authority before you are able to use your equipment. In order to grant the licence, your Council (usually the Environmental Health department) may ask you to follow a set of standards that will ensure that the treatments you undertake are done in a safe and controlled way. This includes employing the services of an LPA (a Laser Protection Advisor) and an EMP (Expert Medical Practitioner).

Since deregulation, most clinics using lasers and IPLs have not sought help from certificated advisors to assess whether the treatments they carry out are done so in a safe and controlled environment. Furthermore, many clinics are unaware that clients on certain medications with certain clinical conditions cannot be treated using an IPL or Laser.

Ensure your business stands out as a beacon of excellence by putting the safety of your patients in the capable hands of our skilled and competent LPA and EMP support team.
