lasers and the law

You may not know that the Care Standards Act (CSA2000) requires any person or business using lasers or Intense Pulsed Light systems (IPL or LHE) to:

  • Display a Certificate of Registration with the Healthcare Commission (Care Commission in Scotland) 
  • Comply with the Regulations and Standards 
  • Be inspected by the Healthcare Commission

The purpose of this legislation is to ensure:

  • Safety and quality
    Laser/IPL users must always put the client's safety first.
  • Information
    Laser/IPL users must provide clear and accurate information.
  • Accountability
    There must be an individual who will take responsibility for ensuring that regulations and standards are fulfilled.
  • Consistency
    A consistent standard of care must be provided.

Any Laser/IPL provider that is not registered is operating illegally and may be operating without valid insurance. You should ask any laser/IPL provider that you are considering:

  • Are you registered with the Healthcare Commission as required by CSA2000?
  • Do you have a certificate of registration?
  • Have you been inspected by the Healthcare Commission?
  • Will I be able to see a copy of the inspection report?
  • Do you have a Client's Guide that I can look at?
