STATE REFERENCE · MED SPA OVERSIGHT
Florida: med spa oversight directory.
Florida — med spa oversight and injector scope rules. Medical board: Florida Board of Medicine (Department of Health). Corporate practice of medicine: Not verified.
This page lists who oversees a med spa in Florida and where the published rules sit: the medical board, the board of nursing, any other regulator that reaches aesthetic practices, the state's position on the corporate practice of medicine, a summary of what the published rules say about who may perform delegated cosmetic procedures, and the Good Faith Exam requirement.
It is built for med spa owners and medical directors who need the state's own sources in one place. It contains no clinical guidance — nothing here says how to perform a procedure — and it is a dated research snapshot for your own confirmation, not legal or medical advice.

Cited. Fla. Admin. Code R. 64B8-56.002, "Equipment and Devices; Protocols for Laser and Light-Based Devices," adopted by the Florida Board of Medicine (Department of Health), effective 2021-03-11 (history: new 2001-09-12, amended through 2021-03-11). Rulemaking authority Fla. Stat. §§ 458.331(1)(v), 478.43(1), (4); law implemented Fla. Stat. §§ 458.331(1)(v), 458.348(3), 478.42(5), 478.43(1), (3), (4).

THE OPERATIVE TEXT OF THE RULE WAS NOT READ on this pass — read it in full before relying on it.
Status. Partially verified — some rules cited, last verified 2026-08-15. Start with the medical board and board of nursing links — they are the primary sources. Read the injector-scope summary as a pointer into the cited rule, not as the rule itself, and settle the corporate-practice question with counsel in your state before signing any ownership or medical-director agreement. Patients are patients, the exam is a Good Faith Exam, and consent is informed consent.
What to confirm.
This row establishes that a Florida Board of Medicine rule on laser and light-based devices exists and what it implements — not what it says. Read 64B8-56.002 in full, then ask the Florida Board of Medicine in writing: under this rule and Fla. Stat. § 458.348, who may operate laser and light-based devices at my location, what protocol must the medical director sign, and what supervision level applies? Ask the Florida Board of Nursing the same question for injectables, plus who may perform the Good Faith Exam and whether telehealth is acceptable.
