What to know in Kansas
Start with these state-specific findings, then use the checklist below to review the rest of your practice. The linked authorities explain the conditions and exceptions behind each point.
Cosmetology and medical-device authority are different
Section 65-1902 addresses use of medical devices by cosmetology licensees under physician order and supervision at a location maintained by the physician. A salon license or equipment course alone does not establish that pathway.

The conditions concern more than having a doctor available by phone. The statutory location requirement and the physician’s role need to be assessed against the planned premises and service workflow.

- Map each device to the statute and document who orders, supervises and maintains the treatment location.
- Review nursing and medical-board rules separately for injectables and other services outside cosmetology.
Questions to resolve before opening
- Does the proposed premises arrangement satisfy the statute’s physician-maintained-location condition?
- Is the device being used under the required order and supervision, or does another professional practice framework apply?
Bring your actual ownership chart, service menu, devices and staff credentials to the relevant board or healthcare counsel. The same answer may not apply to a different procedure or business model.
