The Arizona State Board of Nursing has published detailed advisory opinions on medical aesthetic procedures and IV hydration. A state statute also governs who may use lasers and IPL. Your Arizona manual is built on those documents.

Key Arizona Rules Your Manual Addresses
Medical Aesthetic Procedures Advisory Opinion
The Board's advisory opinion classifies neuromodulators, dermal fillers, Kybella, PRP, sclerotherapy and absorbable threads as Level III procedures. It calls for supervision by a licensed independent practitioner with medical aesthetics training and an initial face-to-face examination by a qualified licensed practitioner before treatment (Arizona Board of Nursing, Medical Aesthetic Procedures Advisory Opinion).
IV Hydration Orders
The Board's IV hydration advisory opinion requires an individualized order from a qualified provider who has established a patient relationship and completed an examination. It also states that APRN standing orders for elective IV hydration are inconsistent with Board guidance (Arizona Board of Nursing, IV Hydration and Other Therapies Advisory Opinion).
Lasers and IPL
A.R.S. § 32-3233 allows health professionals to use registered laser or IPL devices only within their scope and after the training their regulatory board requires. It also sets training and supervision rules for certified laser technicians (A.R.S. § 32-3233).
Items to Verify
Telehealth for the initial aesthetic examination and the authority of physician assistants are described inconsistently across sources. Your manual flags both for confirmation with the Board and your medical director.
