Medical Spa Laws in Delaware
Delaware takes a moderate, permissive approach to medical spa ownership, allowing non-physicians to own provided a supervising physician oversees injectable procedures. RNs and other licensed professionals may inject under delegation. The state does not strictly enforce Corporate Practice of Medicine. The telehealth good-faith exam rule is conditional and should be verified with the board before implementation.
