Regulations abound, yet, they often fail to provide spas with direct guidance on these emerging services and the technological advancements in treatments.

If a license or registration is required, it often must be obtained in order to form the entity itself.\u00a0 The time it takes to obtain any necessary license or registration can also impact the medi-spa\u2019s application to state tax authorities during the formation process.<\/p>\n<p>Second, it is critical to understand what licensing boards regulate the medi-spa and its professionals. For example, estheticians are typically regulated by a state cosmetology board. Healthcare professionals can be regulated by a variety of boards, including but not limited to boards of medical examiners, nurses, chiropractors, pharmacists, and dieticians. \u00a0Each board has its own applicable rules and regulations, which often require certain credentialing and limit the scope of services the licensed individual can provide.<\/p>\n<div class=\"read_more_link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lindabury.com\/firm\/insights\/rules-and-regulations-every-medi-spa-owner-needs-to-understand.html\"  title=\"Continue Reading Rules and Regulations Every Medi-Spa Owner Needs to Understand\" class=\"more-link\">Continue Reading \u203a<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In today\u2019s market, many spas are looking to expand their service lines to include cosmetic medical services, such as laser therapies, IV hydration, and Botox treatments.\u00a0 With the prevalence of cosmetic medical services on the rise, people are now electing to receive these treatments in a spa setting \u2013 as opposed to a traditional medical [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[402,65],"tags":[],"coauthors":[139],"class_list":["post-5424","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-health-care-insights","category-insights"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Rules and Regulations Every Medi-Spa Owner Needs to Understand &#8212; May 22, 2023 &#8212; Lindabury, McCormick, Estabrook &amp; Cooper, P.C.
