Board tables request to allow Cool Jet Plasma device pending more research
Summary
A barber asked to use a Cool Jet Plasma device that she said "stimulates hair growth." The board voted to table the request for additional information and research before considering approval for use in shops.
Dasia Clearman appeared before the board to request permission to use a Cool Jet Plasma device in a barber shop, describing the device as one that "stimulates hair growth." Board members said they needed more information on safety, sanitation and scope of practice before allowing the device in licensed barbering settings and voted to table the item until the next meeting (motion by Joseph Foley; second by Ihsan Azzam).
The board did not take regulatory action on the device at this meeting and instructed staff to gather additional data and vendor information for a future agenda. The tabling preserves regulatory caution while allowing the presenter time to provide supporting evidence and any vendor documentation necessary for a practice determination.
