Why Choose Colorado Center for Photomedicine?
It is important to understand that right now in the state of Colorado getting a light based procedure is not a safe as one might think. There are no state requirements for training before being able to operate a laser. This means that anyone of working age can legally operate a laser in Colorado regarless of their background and training. The only requirement which the state makes is that a physician must be within 30 minutes of the clinic. Unfortunately, there is no training requirement for the physician either. That means you may have a provider who has undergone little to no training and the person they will call if something goes wrong may also have little to no training. As dangerous and scary as this may be, it would not be breaking any Colorado laws.
In many cases providers are lured by the promise of quick money from manufacturers. They purchase a one size fits all piece of equipment and recieve a single day of training by an aesthetician or nurse. This lack of training and proper equipment results ineffective or inappropriate procedures and is responsible for the skyrocketing amount of burns and scars that have been reported over the last five years.
