How to Start a MedSpa
A MedSpa blends esthetic services with medical procedures like Botox and laser. The legal structure matters more than the building — here is how to do it right.
A MedSpa offers cosmetic medical procedures (Botox, dermal fillers, laser hair removal, IV therapy) alongside traditional spa services. Because medical procedures are involved, MedSpas are regulated by state medical boards — not just cosmetology boards. The single biggest mistake new owners make is operating without proper physician oversight, which is the corporate practice of medicine (CPOM) violation that triggers fines and clinic closure.
