Who can perform laser hair removal in South Carolina
The Board of Medical Examiners' guidance says lasers, pulsed light and radiofrequency devices used for ablative and non-ablative treatment are surgery and the practice of medicine.
| Licence | Allowed | Condition |
|---|---|---|
| Doctor | Yes | Practitioners must examine each patient before any initial treatment or before authorising treatment by a non-physician. |
| Nurse practitioner | Conditions | Use may be delegated to appropriately trained and licensed PAs and nurse practitioners. Practitioners must examine each patient before any initial treatment. |
| Physician assistant | Conditions | Use may be delegated to appropriately trained and licensed PAs and nurse practitioners. Practitioners must examine each patient before any initial treatment. |
| Registered nurse | Supervised | The Board's June 2025 summary says RNs may perform them under the direct supervision of a physician, APRN or PA. The Board of Nursing's opinion says an APRN may delegate non-ablative procedures to an RN, with a supervising physician or APRN on site and able to respond within five minutes. |
| Medical assistant | Unclear | The Board's summary lists certified medical assistants for non-ablative lasers under direct supervision. State law bars a PA or APRN from delegating "lasers or instruments that results in tissue destruction" to a certified medical assistant. The two do not obviously agree, and we have not found a source that settles it. |
| Esthetician | Unclear | The Cosmetology Act and the regulation we read do not name lasers for estheticians, so what they may do is not settled by the text. |
