Virginia Med Spa medical director requirements

In Virginia, the regulation of medical spas and aesthetic procedures is governed by specific statutory provisions and Board of Medicine oversight rather than a single unified med spa licensing statute. Under Virginia Code § 54.1-2973.1, procedures such as laser hair removal must be performed by licensed medical professionals or delegated to properly trained personnel under the direction and supervision of a qualified physician, physician assistant, or advanced practice registered nurse. Because requirements can vary by specific cosmetic procedure and delegation rules, consumers should verify exact compliance standards directly with the Virginia Board of Medicine.
