The State of Texas is unique, in that it is one of just a few states that offers very specific rules and regulations providing clear guidance to the licensure and regulations of laser hair removal practitioners.

From the perspective of a new industry professional, you first want to understand that there are 4 levels of licensure in the State of Texas:

FOUR LEVELS OF LICENSURE IN THE STATE OF TEXAS:

LEVEL 1: Certified Laser Hair Removal Technician - Apprentice-in-Training

Able to perform treatments, but only when directly supervised.

LEVEL 2: Certified Laser Hair Removal Technician

Able to perform treatments without direct supervision.

LEVEL 3: Certified Senior Laser Hair Removal Technician

Able to supervise and apprentice-in-training.

LEVEL 4: Professional Laser Hair Removal Technician

Able to register a facility. A Professional or Physician must be on-site at all times when  laser hair removal is being performed (a Senior may fill in for up to 44 days in the event the Professional resigns from the facility).

Laser Hair Removal is regulated in Texas by the Department of Licensing and Regulation. Click on the following link for state supplied forms, rules and regulations.

https://www.tdlr.texas.gov/las/las.htm

NOTE: As you may already suspect, laser hair removal is regulated at the state level, so be careful, as if you are practicing in a state other than Texas, these rules will not apply to you. You want to inquire with your state regulatory authority (i.e., medical board, cosmetology board, health department) as to the rules and regulations specific to where you are located.
