Most states say chart review should happen. Mississippi says how many, how often, and expects to see it.

Indiana had no dedicated med spa law. Now it has one, with a registration deadline and a named responsible practitioner.

Fifteen days sounds comfortable until you count backwards from the deadline through a weekend, a holiday and the two days nobody realized it was reportable.

Utah regulates the venue as well as the act — which is a question most operators have never been asked.

Utah is one of the few states that licenses master estheticians and then tells you, in statute, exactly where they sit.

Most states find out about your ownership structure when something goes wrong. Massachusetts asks your medical director directly, every two years, in writing.

Massachusetts has a closed list of permitted entity forms and a majority-ownership rule on top of it. An ordinary corporation is not on the list.
