Protecting patients from unlicensed cosmetic laser procedures
Rules for cosmetic use of lasers have been filed by the Medical Quality Assurance Commission and become effective March 1. The final rules will protect patients having medical treatments for hair removal, rosacea, age spots, and similar skin procedures. The new rules set training and professional standards for laser light, radio frequency and plasma devices. "We've seen cases in which people have been hurt pretty badly by improper use of these devices," said Blake Maresh, the commissions executive director. "There are a growing number of unlicensed or inadequately trained people using these devices and the rules will help us protect others from improper treatment." The rules spell out what is required of physicians and physician assistants who operate these devices, who they can delegate to use them, and the degree of supervision required.
Galderma #1 in Image Survey; First Company in Six Years to Sweep All Categories Galderma Laboratories, L.P. ranks number one in the eyes of dermatological health care professionals according to the latest Verispan Pharmaceutical Company Image survey. Conducted every two years, the survey provides a comprehensive analysis and ranking of pharmaceutical companies and the industry's image as perceived by key healthcare audiences. For Galderma, the ranking is particularly significant because, for the first time since 2000, a pharmaceutical company was rated first in overall opinion and number one in all twelve measured attributes. These included measures such as service orientation, research and development, orientation to patient information, value-added services, product portfolio, educational orientation and credibility. The survey measures the image and reputation of the drug industry by polling a wide array of key healthcare professionals.
