Board Certification in Emergency Medicine: What It Means for Texas Patients

What Is a Medical Director for a Med Spa in Texas?
Medical spas, organizations that offer aesthetic treatments such as Botox, fillers, laser procedures, chemical peels, and weight-loss medications, occupy a unique regulatory position in Texas. Unlike a traditional day spa, a med spa offers treatments that are classified as the practice of medicine. That means Texas law requires a licensed physician to serve as the medical director before a med spa can legally operate. Understanding what that role entails, what obligations it creates, and how to find a qualified medical director is essential for any med spa owner or operator in Texas.
