"Owner of a SLO facility is arrested; he is suspected of practicing medicine without a license
The owner of a San Luis Obispo cosmetic laser procedure center and day spa that abruptly closed last week was arrested Friday on suspicion of practicing medicine without a license and felony grand theft.
Some legislators say the situation underscores the push for better oversight and training for laser procedures, such as hair removal and varicose vein treatments.
Centers performing such procedures are not regulated, so it's unclear how many there are in San Luis Obispo County. But nationwide, such nonsurgical cosmetic procedures are on the rise. More than 1.5 million people went under a laser for treatments in 2005, up 11 percent from 2004, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery."

Laser Hair Removal - The Basics
Laser Hair Removal - The Basics: "What is laser- laser is the concentrated beam of light that is made of a single wavelength. This beam does not scatter light around but focuses it on one point. Therefore the energy emission is very high. In hair removal this laser energy is used to heat and burn the hair follicles. The full name of laser is Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.
How laser removes hair- when laser is focused on skin, it get attracted to the pigment of the hair follicle. The laser heats the hair follicles and burns it at the root. The darker the color of the hair, better the results. Similarly the skin should be light colored otherwise the skin also attracts laser and gets blistered. With latest developments this possibility is getting eliminated, but you must talk to your physician about your hair and skin color and the results expected."
