Indiana
Medical oversight overview
Under Indiana law (Senate Bill 282 / Public Law 136), medical spas operating in the state are subject to statutory regulation and must register with the Medical Licensing Board of Indiana starting January 1, 2027. The law requires each medical spa facility to designate a qualified responsible practitioner, such as a physician, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant, to oversee treatments and patient safety protocols. Additionally, facilities must adhere to strict advertising standards and report serious adverse events to the board. Prospective patients and practitioners should verify current rulemaking updates directly with the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency.
