As medical spas and aesthetic practices continue to expand across the U.S., regulatory oversight and enforcement have increased as well. Licensing boards and regulators have been ramping up enforcement actions to ensure compliance.
In a recent article with Modern Aesthetics, Frier Levitt Attorneys Brandon Zarsky and Guillermo Beades discuss the increased regulation and enforcement activity, and what operators need to do to remain compliant. Operators should ensure that licensed physicians maintain control over medical decision-making. It is also imperative to seek independent healthcare counsel, given the increased level of scrutiny. Establishing a strong, well-documented compliance framework and staying current on state-specific legal requirements are critical to safeguarding patients, maintaining licensure, and protecting long-term enterprise value.
