Tattoo Removal Clinic Physician Consultant
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I am opening a laser tattoo removal clinic in Georgetown Texas and I'm seeking a consulting physician. Tattoo removal falls under the license of Laser Hair Removal. Because Laser treatments are technically considered a prescription I will need a contract/standing order prescription for the clinic. The State of Texas requires the following from any laser clinic:
CONSULTING PHYSICIAN. (a) A laser hair removal facility must have a written contract with a consulting physician to:
(1) establish proper protocols for the services provided at the facility; and
(2) audit the laser hair removal facility’s protocols and operations.
(b) Under the rules of the commission, a laser hair removal facility must document with the department the facility’s contractual relationship with the consulting physician.
(c) The consulting physician must be available for emergency consultation with the facility as appropriate to the circumstances, including, if the physician considers it necessary, an emergency appointment with the client. If the consulting physician is unavailable for an emergency consultation, another designated physician must be available for the consultation with the facility relating to care for the client.
(d) This subchapter does not relieve a consulting physician or another health care professional from complying with applicable regulations prescribed by a state or federal agency.
Key Responsibilities:
- On-call support for post-laser procedure issues
- Managing complications and answering general recovery questions
*As a professional laser technician I worked as the only employee of a tattoo removal clinic and have treated thousands of tattoos for the last 3 years and I have never had to contact our medical director/consulting physician. I never even met the person.
