A medical director is the licensed physician or advanced practice provider (APP) who bears legal and clinical responsibility for all medical services delivered at a medspa—from neuromodulator injections to laser and radiofrequency treatments. State medical boards, not the FDA, set the requirements; they vary significantly by jurisdiction, but the core obligation is identical: the medical director must establish protocols, provide appropriate supervision, and ensure that delegated staff operate within their scope of practice.
