Medical Spa Laws in Vermont

Vermont takes a moderate, permissive approach to medical spa regulation, allowing non-physician ownership through management structures with physician oversight. RNs and other licensed professionals may inject under delegation. The state does not strictly enforce Corporate Practice of Medicine, but a medical director is required. Telehealth GFE rules are less clearly defined—verify with the board.
