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

- Injector scope summary
- Nevada State Board of Nursing, "Practice Advisory Decision — Scope of Practice Requirements and Limitations for RNs and LPNs Performing Aesthetic/Cosmetologic Procedures," board approved 2025-01-17. Its Statement of Scope: the Board "has determined that it is within the scope of practice of registered nurses (RNs), licensed practice nurses (LPNs), and advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) to perform aesthetic/cosmetic procedures when compliant with the conditions and requirements or limitations of this advisory decision." Those conditions include documented completion of an instructional programme and demonstrated clinical proficiency in each specific procedure, ongoing competency validation, and written policies and protocols approved by a qualified licensed practitioner. The advisory states APRNs with independent practice authority meeting training requirements under NAC 632.255 may perform aesthetic procedures without supervision. It also states only a qualified licensed practitioner may control and provide access to the dangerous drugs used in the ordered procedure. This is a nursing board advisory decision, not a statute; it does not speak for the Nevada State Board of Medical Examiners.
- Good Faith Exam rule
- The same advisory requires "an order for each individual intervention by a qualified licensed practitioner that has assessed the patient and established a bonafide patient/provider relationship in compliance with NRS 639.235.4," and requires informed consent describing risks and benefits to be obtained and retained in the patient record. TELEHEALTH ACCEPTABILITY FOR THAT ASSESSMENT IS NOT ADDRESSED IN WHAT WAS READ AND IS NOT VERIFIED.

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.
A nursing board advisory binds nurses; it does not settle what the medical board requires of you as the business. Ask the Nevada State Board of Medical Examiners in writing: what must a medical director do, who may perform the assessment that precedes the order, and may that assessment be done by telehealth? Ask the Nevada State Board of Nursing to confirm the advisory is still current and whether it has been amended since 2025-01-17.
