Tennessee Med Spa Compliance
Tennessee is one of the few states with a med-spa-specific statute: every medical spa must register with the Board of Medical Examiners under a licensed MD or DO who attests to accepting responsibility for its cosmetic medical services. From that registration requirement to the medical director's duties, physician delegation and the good-faith exam, who can inject, laser oversight, and ownership, here is everything you need to run a compliant Tennessee practice.
