IV therapy is the add-on that looks too easy to pass up: high perceived margin, strong wellness-crossover demand, simple enough to deliver, and seemingly low-risk. That appearance is exactly the problem. IV therapy actually sits in one of the murkier regulatory areas a med spa can enter, touching the practice of medicine, supervision, the sourcing and compounding of the preparations, standing orders, and the requirement to evaluate patients appropriately — and because it's so easy to start, a lot of practices are offering it in a gray zone they've never actually examined. As IV and wellness offerings have multiplied, that gap between easy-to-start and hard-to-do-right has drawn fresh scrutiny.
This is general education for owners, not legal advice. IV therapy compliance is complex and state-specific; structure it with your medical director and counsel.
