Medical oversight overview
In Mississippi, aesthetic medical procedures such as injectables and laser treatments are regulated as the practice of medicine by the Mississippi State Board of Medical Licensure. While state rules do not establish a universal statewide facility license specifically titled for medical spas, any medical procedures performed within these settings require appropriate physician supervision, delegation, and adherence to professional scope-of-practice standards. Practitioners such as physician assistants and nurse practitioners must operate under established collaborative agreements or supervision protocols with a licensed Mississippi physician. Consumers and practitioners should verify specific procedural requirements directly with the Mississippi State Board of Medical Licensure.
