Medical Spa Laws in Georgia
Georgia maintains a moderate regulatory posture requiring physician oversight and a medical director for medical spa operations. Non-physicians can own medspas through management structures, but physician involvement is expected. RNs may inject under supervision, and NPs/PAs have collaborative authority. The telehealth GFE rule is less clear than in some states—verify directly with the Georgia Medical Board before relying on remote initial exams.
