Which state agency oversees laser hair removal practices?

The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) is the correct answer because it is the state agency responsible for regulating and overseeing various professions and services in Texas, including laser hair removal practices. TDLR implements licensing requirements, ensures compliance with safety standards, and provides guidelines for practitioners to follow, ensuring that the procedures are performed safely and effectively.

While the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) plays a crucial role in regulating the devices used for laser hair removal by ensuring their safety and efficacy, it does not oversee the actual practice at the state level. OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) focuses on workplace safety and health regulations rather than specific practices like laser hair removal. Similarly, the NCEH (National Center for Environmental Health) is involved in the prevention of environmental health hazards, which does not specifically pertain to the regulation of laser hair removal practices. Therefore, TDLR is specifically tasked with overseeing the standards and regulations associated with laser hair removal in the state.
