"Many people in New York don't know that other than laser hair removal, only nurses are supposed to be firing lasers," says Alex Thiersch, JD, founder and director of the American Med Spa Association. He also notes that New York has a number of other particular nuances that separate the state from others, including an increase in enforcement regarding business names. Specifically, he says that multiple practices have had their names denied because regulatory agencies don't prefer the word "spa" in reference to medical practices.
