November 16, 2004: Massachusetts: Popular 'Medi-Spas' May Hide Dangerous Secrets:"In Massachusetts the law said you don't even have to be a doctor to do laser therapy. But you do need to be trained, licensed and working under the supervision of a doctor. That's what registered nurse and Beauty Therapies president Claire McArdle does. McArdle hired Finegold as her medical director. When NewsCenter 5 asked her why she hired a doctor who had lost his privileges, she would only say she wanted to withhold her answer at this time. And McArdle herself is under investigation. The Department of Public Health is proposing disciplinary action against her because of two complaints against McArdle's nursing license, the most serious being a laser hair removal treatment that the customer complained resulted in second degree burns and scars to her legs."

Are you sure the person doing your liposuction or giving that Botox injection knows what they're doing?
