Common questions about med spas websites
Does my med spa website need to name the medical director?
In most states, yes. Med spas operate under a physician medical director, and most state medical boards require that relationship to be disclosed on your website and marketing materials.
Can I advertise Botox results on my med spa website?
With restrictions. You cannot make unsubstantiated claims about results. Before-and-after photos need proper consent, and you should include disclaimers that individual results vary. Off-label uses have additional restrictions.
What FDA language rules apply to med spa websites?
Many med spa devices are FDA-cleared, not FDA-approved. Using the wrong term is a regulatory violation. You also cannot make claims about devices that go beyond their FDA-authorized indications for use.
