I thought you can as non MD but a real physician must be head director. Thats the short I was told

[@ekaterinelezhava106]

Depend on the state

[@lusfit6903]

Depends on what state if you are a NP. Some states you don’t need an MD present

[@JayNa886]

Hi, can FNP owe medical spa? Just curious ...🤔🤔🤔

[@goodjobpal5028]

this is probably late 😅 but yes! As long as you have a MD as a medical director:; however, I would research this based on where you live. As a FNP you can run the actual business and even some procedures

[@eshaabbas1358]

@@goodjobpal5028 Hi, would the same apply to a PA as well?

[@lusfit6903]

@@eshaabbas1358 yes, but you need a MD supervision bc PAs can’t practice independently. But most states now allow NPs to own a practice independently without MD present.

Hi there ! Can a RDH with an esthetician’s license open a medspa? Will be able to delivery Botox or fillers? ( with proper course taken) or will I need a MD or NP to be there for me to delivery that. I need help, thank you ! Amazing videos !!!! 🙌🏼

[@vivianngarcia4345]

I know I will have to doble check my state , but overall is that possible ?

[@floridaliving9853]

You have to be at least Nurse Practitioner to perform any medical procedures. florida is the only state I know of that anyone can have a med spa but needs doctors licence which he will be your 10% partner

[@skyhoward2050]

The answer to that is no. You definitely can't inject as a dental hygienist or practice any esthetic medicine without a nursing or medical license. Most states require that you have at least a nurse practitioner on Staff to open a med spa...
