Who is authorized to perform medical procedures in the beauty industry?

In the beauty industry, medical procedures are strictly regulated and are only authorized to be performed by licensed medical professionals. This includes procedures that require a medical understanding and potentially involve the use of medical equipment or substances, such as injections, surgical skin treatments, or other interventions that go beyond the scope of traditional beauty practices.

Licensed medical professionals, such as doctors and nurses, have undergone extensive training that equips them with the necessary knowledge of human anatomy, medical ethics, and potential complications that can arise during and after medical procedures. This training ensures that they are capable of handling emergencies and giving appropriate care to clients, which is not typically within the purview of cosmetologists or beauty professionals.

While cosmetologists and beauty professionals may have additional training in advanced beauty techniques, they are generally limited to non-invasive cosmetic services that do not require medical oversight. Therefore, any procedure categorized as a medical procedure must be performed by someone who holds a valid medical license to ensure client safety and legal compliance.
