Knowing Your Providers Qualifications for Costmetic Procedures

Laser, or IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) procedures have been proven effective for a wide range of aesthetic treatments. But before taking advantage of any of these procedures, its very important that you know exactly who is performing the procedure. As these procedures have become more popular, more untrained people are performing them. And that increases the risks of complications such as hypopigmentation (lightening of skin). Hyperpigmentation (darkening of skin), burns and scarring. At Ethos Spa, we are seeing a growing number of consumers who have had their treatments done by non-healthcare and non-qualified personnel, and have subsequently experienced post-procedural complications. Though such complications can occur regardless of who is performing the procedure, they are less apt to occur when performed by a trained specialist who understands laser physics, laser-tissue interactions, skin type, contraindications, and more. Properly trained physicians know the precautions to take to minimize the risk of complications, and they know how to recognize and effectively address these complications if they arise, to minimize potential adverse outcomes. At Ethos Spa in New Jersey, where we specialize in non-invasive aesthetic procedures, only qualified physicians perform laser or IPL treatments.
