A lot of that depends on what state you're in. Every state has their own regulations with regards to PhotoFacials or intense pulse light treatments. It's not the same thing as a laser where there's really specific regulations and guidelines regarding that.

Every medispa, when they purchase, either and IPL or any piece of equipment, the manufacturer needs to make sure that the staff knows how to use the machine. Also, depending on the machine and the manufacturer, the staff members may be credentialed and may have training on how to use those machines. That might be something that you want to look into at your medispa
