Why Choose Colorado Center for Photomedicine?

It is important to understand that right now, in the state of Colorado, getting a light based procedure is not as safe as one might think. There are no state requirements for training before being able to operate a laser. This means that anyone of working age can legally operate a laser in Colorado regardless of their background and training. The only requirement the state makes is that a physician must be within 30 minutes of the clinic. Unfortunately, there are no training requirements for physicians either. That means you may have a provider who has undergone little to no training, and the person they will call if something goes wrong may also have little to no training. As dangerous and scary as this may be, it would not be breaking any Colorado laws.

In many cases, providers are lured by the promise of quick money from manufacturers. They purchase a one size fits all piece of equipment and receive a single day of training by an aesthetician or nurse. This lack of training and improper equipment results in ineffective or inappropriate procedures, and is responsible for the skyrocketing amount of burns and scars that have been reported throughout the last five years.
