Who Can Own a Med Spa in Florida?

[@leonardeaprnnp-c496]

In Florida , an “RN” cannot perform Botox procedures because Botox administration is the “practice of medicine “ only MDs , ODs, NPs and PAs are legally authorized to practice medicine .

[@ninivlogera1008]

who Can MIRCO-NEEDLE in the state of FL??? Fl cosmetology board says facial specialists & estheticians are NOT allowed. So who can legally?

NP’s now have full autonomy in Florida, provided they meet certain educational and work experience qualifications and complete the new autonomous practice application, however the Florida NP autonomy law says that NP’s can only practice family medicine, general practice, and internal medicine autonomously without the supervision of an MD. So my question is this. If I own an anti-aging health and wellness clinic that does HRT, aesthetics, wellness nutrition, IV therapies weight loss, and ED treatments, can I have an NP practicing autonomously while serving as my Medical Director, my Injector, and doing the IV therapies, without having a supervising MD as medical director. My clinic will be offering many different products and services, so I think we would be considered more of a general medicine clinic, than a speciality clinic such as dermatology or plastic surgery. I know that under the new NP autonomy law NP’s can’t work practicing in a specialty while working autonomously. For example, an NP can’t run a allergy office or a dermatology practice or a orthopedic clinic. This seems to be muddy waters. A regulator might try to say that we are dermatology clinic because we will offer many aesthetic treatments including all the injectable, cool sculpting, micro needing, hydrafacials, etc., but we will also be full service clinic focused on overall health, wellness, an anti-aging. I would prefer to have an autonomous NP without also having to have an MD as medical director, but I want to make sure we are doing everything legally and compliantly within Florida law and regulations.

Can RDH with esthetician license own a medspa in FL? To delivery Botox and filler... Does it need a MD or NP collaboration to delivery these procedures?

[@leaking2674]

Viviann Garcia I am trying to find out. I’ve been managing and starting dental practices for years and I’m burnt out. I want to start a medspa but have no doctorate. I just want to run the business not do the work. Hoping I can hire dentists or dermatologist for med procedures.
