A 3084 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to allowing licensed estheticians and licensed cosmetologists to practice microneedling

This bill allows licensed estheticians and cosmetologists in New York to perform microneedling - a skin treatment using small needles to improve texture - after completing a 40-hour state-approved training course. The course covers skin anatomy, safety protocols, infection control, and client assessment, and requires proof of prior bloodborne pathogen safety certification. It directly affects licensed professionals seeking to expand their services, requiring them to meet these new training standards before offering microneedling. The policy change updates licensing rules to permit this specific procedure under defined safety and educational requirements.
