North Dakota
Medical oversight overview
North Dakota does not license medical spas as independent healthcare facilities, instead regulating aesthetic medical procedures through professional practice acts and board oversight. The North Dakota Board of Medicine governs physician supervision, delegation of medical tasks, and practice location requirements for physician assistants and other practitioners. While med-spas themselves are not individually licensed health facilities, medical procedures performed within them must be supervised or delegated by a licensed physician or qualified prescriber. Consumers and practitioners should confirm specific treatment delegation rules directly with the North Dakota Board of Medicine.
