Medical oversight overview
In Texas, nonsurgical medical cosmetic procedures offered at medical spas are classified as the practice of medicine by the Texas Medical Board. Consequently, these treatments must be performed by qualified professionals under proper physician delegation and supervision protocols. Board regulations mandate that a licensed physician, physician assistant, or advanced practice registered nurse must either be onsite or immediately available for emergency consultation during treatments. Prospective clients should always confirm credentials and oversight arrangements before undergoing aesthetic medical procedures.
