Legal Considerations for Med Spa Owners in Georgia
Opening a med spa in Atlanta, Alpharetta, Decatur, Dunwoody, or anywhere in Georgia involves more than just renting a space and hiring staff. You must comply with strict healthcare laws, corporate structures, and professional licensing rules.
​
Who can own a med spa? While non-physicians can own med spas, there are specific parameters that must be followed to ensure that the licensed medical professional (physician or NP typically) providing services has appropriate authority to make decisions that align with their medical expertise.
What licenses do you need? Not all procedures can be performed by estheticians.
How do you structure your business legally? The right setup protects your assets and profits.
​
Failing to address these legal issues can result in fines, loss of licensure, or forced closure.
Med Spa Legal Services We Provide
At Edmonds Law Office, we provide comprehensive legal services to med spa owners, physicians, and entrepreneurs to ensure their businesses are structured properly, compliant with Georgia law, and protected from legal risks.
​
One of the most critical steps in launching a med spa is selecting the appropriate business structure. We assist in choosing the best entity type (LLC, PLLC, or other structures) and ensure compliance with healthcare laws to prevent legal issues down the road.
​
Licensing and compliance are also key concerns for med spas. Each type of service, whether Botox, dermal fillers, laser hair removal, or microneedling, has specific licensing and supervision requirements. We help clients structure employment and independent contractor agreements, and implement patient consent forms and HIPAA-compliant policies to safeguard their practice.
​
In addition to business formation and licensing, we provide legal support for contract drafting, employment agreements, and compliance with anti-kickback and fee-splitting laws. Med spa owners must ensure that any revenue-sharing agreements, referral arrangements, and financial incentives comply with state and federal regulations to avoid serious legal consequences. Our firm works closely with clients to structure these agreements properly, reducing their risk of regulatory violations or financial penalties.
​
By working with an experienced Atlanta Georgia healthcare business attorney, med spa owners can focus on growing their practice with confidence, knowing they are protected by a strong legal foundation.

What kind of license do I need to open a med spa?
The licensing requirements for a med spa depend on the types of services being offered. Injectables, such as Botox and dermal fillers, must be administered by a licensed medical professional. Laser treatments and chemical peels also have specific supervision and licensing requirements. In addition to ensuring that the providers have the appropriate credentials, med spa owners must comply with Georgia Composite Medical Board regulations to avoid penalties or enforcement actions.​
Do I need a healthcare attorney to start a med spa?
Yes, Georgia has strict healthcare regulations, and starting a med spa without legal guidance can lead to costly mistakes. A healthcare attorney helps ensure your business structure is compliant, contracts are legally sound, and all licensing and regulatory requirements are met. Working with an Atlanta Georgia health law attorney can help prevent legal disputes and position your med spa for long-term success.
What are the biggest legal risks for med spa owners?
The most common legal risks for med spa owners include improper business structuring, personal injury claims, and failure to obtain proper patient consent. Additionally, HIPAA and OSHA violations can result in significant fines if patient privacy and workplace safety regulations are not followed.
