North Carolina Med Spa Compliance

North Carolina has no med spa statute and no med spa facility licence, so nothing about this state is answered by looking up a permit. Authority runs instead through the Medical Practice Act at Chapter 90 of the General Statutes, the position statements and joint rules of the North Carolina Medical Board (NCMB), and the Nursing Practice Act as administered by the North Carolina Board of Nursing (NCBON) — the two boards that jointly approve and govern nurse practitioners, because North Carolina is not a full practice authority state. The North Carolina Board of Cosmetic Art Examiners draws the third line, deciding what an esthetician or cosmetologist may do to skin before the work becomes medicine. These guides work through injector scope, delegation and supervision, the good faith exam, ownership, and the documentation each board expects to see.
