After already switching to printed prescriptions to increase clarity and remove ambiguities, this novel approach will speed up the prescription process and remove needs to fax us refill requests. Northwest Face is again at the cutting edge of technology and medical science. ----- Change in Law in Washington state:As the complexity of the new lasers and light devices that we offer increases and as the new legislation about who can operate these devices become more stringent, we are staffing our aesthetic department with RNs, ARNPs, and PAs who have more extensive medical backgrounds.
