Welcome to the International Academy of Cosmetic Laser Surgery
The laser training program offered through the International Academy of Cosmetic Laser Surgery is recognized by the Board of Laser Safety and meets the prerequisite training requirement for the CMLSO exam and certification.
The program is specific to the cosmetic laser industry and details aesthetic laser physics as well as types of lasers and laser applications in dermatology.
The course furthers discussion on cutaneous physiology, ethnicity and regenerative therapies and includes practicing applications for optimal patient outcomes.
Before implementing laser services into private practice, a few things should be considered.
- Are you OSHA compliant?
- Do you have a laser safety plan in place?
- Has the physician/employer appointed a Medical Laser Safety Officer?
- Have your laser technicians been legally trained and certified?
- Does your practice staff know and understand laser safety regulations?
If you answered NO to any of the above questions, then your practice as well as laser practitioners may be in violation of federal law and possibly state law, therefore increasing liability as well as endangering the safety of the patient and the practitioner.
Federal Law
The Federal OSHA Law “Incorporates by Reference” the ANSI Standards which have thus become an integral part of the Federal OSHA Law itself. As such, they are enforceable by OSHA according to Federal Law and further, may support the filing of Civil Malpractice Litigation.
OSHA can levy large fines against those who violate or are not in compliance with ANSI standards. Further, the Courts can and have awarded large sums as damages for violation of OSHA regulations or referenced ANSI standards.
In order to be compliant with national standards, the American National Standards Institute (A.N.S.I.) Z136.3 Standard "Safe Use of Lasers in Healthcare", states that EVERY FACILITY that uses a medical laser MUST ESTABLISH a formal Laser Safety Program that is managed by an appointed Medical Laser Safety Officer.
An appointed Medical Laser Safety Officer is required by OSHA with usage of high-powered lasers and is considered legally compliant wherever there is laser operation at a healthcare facility or laser clinic.
