North Carolina law requires direct physician supervision. A physician trained in laser use must directly supervise any non-physician operator during treatment. At your consultation, ask who supervises procedures and whether a physician reviews your treatment plan.

Use your consultation to compare. Come prepared to ask:

• What laser do you use, and why is it right for my tattoo and skin tone?
• Can I see before-and-after photos of similar tattoos you have treated?
• What is your policy if I need more sessions than estimated?
