Standards of Practice
SCMHR strives to promote widespread adherence to common standards in the hair removal industry. We feel there are core standards that must be met for a hair removal practitioner to provide the best, safest and most scientifically-advanced services to clients. If your hair removal provider is a member of SCMHR, you can be sure your provider is adhering to these standards.
These important standards of practice include:
- Compliance with government OSHA standards for use of lasers for hair removal
- Strict use of eye protection and safety signage for laser hair removal providers
- Having an appointed safety officer for your clinic or organization
- Maintaining all proper medical records
- Maintaining a protocol of high standards for the well being of the patient
- Training all employees in the fundamentals of all laser technology used by the practice
- Becoming nationally certified for hair removal
- Having records of good standing in a national organization that promotes continuing education
- Complying with all state licensing and registration requirements
- Carrying malpractice insurance
- Compliance with HIPAA rules
- Compliance with SCMHR Code of Ethics
