Montana
Medical oversight overview
In Montana, medical spas as facilities are not licensed or regulated by a single professional licensing board, and state regulations do not impose a universal statutory medical-director mandate specifically for med spa facilities. However, medical and cosmetic procedures performed within these settings—such as injectables and laser treatments—constitute the practice of medicine or nursing. Consequently, any medical procedures offered must be performed by or under the appropriate supervision and delegation of a qualified healthcare provider. Consumers and operators should verify specific supervisory and scope-of-practice standards directly with the Montana Board of Medical Examiners or Board of Nursing.
