Georgia — med spa oversight and injector scope rules. Medical board: Georgia Composite Medical Board. Corporate practice of medicine: Not verified.
This page lists who oversees a med spa in Georgia 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.

Regulators. Georgia Composite Medical Board · Georgia Board of Nursing (Secretary of State, Professional Licensing Boards Division)
Cited. Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. Chapter 360-35, "Lasers" (Rules of the Georgia Composite Medical Board), authority cited in the chapter includes O.C.G.A. Title 43, Chapter 34, Article 9 and O.C.G.A. §§ 43-1-31, 43-34-8. Chapter contents read 2026-08-15 on rules.sos.ga.gov, the Georgia Secretary of State's official rules site. Rule text not read on this pass.
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.
Read Ch. 360-35 in full — particularly .02 Licensure, .05 Practice, .06 Consulting Physician and .12 Permitted Activities — then ask the Georgia Composite Medical Board in writing: does every person operating a laser or IPL device at my location need a cosmetic laser practitioner licence, and what is the consulting physician required to do? Ask the Board separately about injectables and the Good Faith Exam, and ask the Georgia Board of Nursing what an RN or APRN may do — this row answers neither.
