Medical oversight overview

Specific state rule identified

In Tennessee, medical spas offering cosmetic medical services must be registered annually with the state health professional boards. State law mandates that every medical spa operate under the supervision of a designated medical director or supervising physician. This physician must hold an active Tennessee medical license and an active practice within the state. Consumers should verify that their med spa treatment is properly overseen by a qualified physician registered with the Tennessee Department of Health.

The Tennessee Department of Health Medical Spa Registry and Board of Medical Examiners rules establish that all medical spas must register and maintain a designated medical director or supervising physician with an active Tennessee license.
