The Legalities of Medical Aesthetics

Presented by Renee Coover from ByrdAdatto

The medical spa industry has seen explosive growth over the past five years thanks to a younger population of interested clients and important advancements in medical technology.  Because the industry has developed faster than the laws regulating the industry,  there is still much confusion as to how medical spas are regulated. This lecture will focus on the laws and regulations affecting the medical spa industry, taking a closer look at the issues surrounding ownership, delegation and supervision of medical treatments and fee-splitting between physicians and non-physicians. The discussion will also touch on the intersection of HIPAA, OSHA, the FDA, and state laws regulating the various aspects of providing medical services in an aesthetic setting.
