Question 21968 — commerce and crafts

Summary

Mrs. Stéphanie Kerbarh draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to permanent hair removal using intense pulsed light (IPL). Indeed, ANSES, in an opinion delivered in December 2016, recommended adapting the current regulations to overcome inconsistency. ANSES explains that “the 1962 decree prohibits beauticians from using pulsed light devices for photo-epilation, although they have the possibility to use these devices to perform photorejuvenation treatments.” Drawing the consequences of this opinion, two draft decrees and orders modifying the decree of January 6, 1962 were put out for consultation with the professionals concerned, providing for the end of the monopoly of dermatologists for the practice of hair removal using intense pulsed light and regulating the responsibility of practitioners. The publication of the draft decree was announced for July 1, 2019. However, no decree has been published to date, even though the Limoges Court of Appeal ruled illegal the ban on IPL hair removal resulting from the 1962 decree, on June 21, 2019. The evolution of the regulatory framework remains pending to this day. Consequently, she asks him if the regulatory framework will be adapted to allow beauticians to use these pulsed light devices for the practice of hair removal.
