Medical Spa Laws in Connecticut
Connecticut permits non-physician ownership of medical spas, making it more permissive than strict CPOM states like California. However, a supervising physician must conduct in-person good-faith exams before treatment and oversee all injectable procedures. RNs and other licensed professionals may inject under physician delegation. Telehealth is not permitted for the initial exam.
