Ten participants, including three estheticians, one aesthetic surgery fellow, and six chief plastic surgery residents, underwent an in\u2010person training demonstration followed by two competency checkoffs. Successful completion rates were recorded and analyzed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      For the IPL device, average correct completion rates improved from 89.23% to 100% (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.007) across all participants.

The residents and fellow exhibited a greater mean improvement from the initial to follow\u2010up checkoff compared to the estheticians for both devices: 15.61% versus 8.33% for the IPL device and 13.65% versus 2.56% for the 532\/1064\u2010nm Nd:YAG laser.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A formalized, hands\u2010on laser safety training session coupled with device\u2010specific safety checklists significantly enhances both procedural competency and adherence to safety protocols, supporting such integration into departmental training. These tools not only improve technical skill but also bolsters confidence while promoting patient safety. Adoption of such checklist\u2010based training initiatives across practices that utilize lasers and other light\u2010based devices may help standardize care and reduce laser\u2010related complications.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/lsm.70088","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,23]],"date-time":"2025-12-23T07:07:48Z","timestamp":1766473668000},"page":"107-112","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Annual Laser Safety Inservice Training Checkoffs: Examining Standard Operating Procedures for Quality Assurance"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"58","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7355-7107","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carolyn","family":"Kim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic Surgery University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center Dallas Texas USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"John","family":"Hoopman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic Surgery University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center Dallas Texas USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jennifer","family":"Barillas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic Surgery University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center Dallas Texas USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jeffrey M.","family":"Kenkel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic Surgery University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center Dallas Texas USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.21037\/atm.2016.11.51"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3889\/oamjms.2017.130"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/s0965-206x(01)80039-5"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055\/s-2007-991182"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Aesthetic Plastic Surgery National Databank Statistics 2022.
