Medical Spa Laws in Arkansas

Arkansas maintains a moderate regulatory posture for medical spas, requiring physician supervision of mid-level and nursing staff but permitting non-physician ownership under an MSO model. RNs can inject under delegation, and telehealth GFE is conditionally allowed. The regulatory environment is accessible but requires careful attention to supervision and documentation.
