Medical Spa Laws in New Hampshire

New Hampshire requires a moderate level of physician involvement and mandates an in-person good-faith exam—telehealth is not permitted. Non-physicians may own a medical spa if a licensed physician serves as medical director, but the state does not permit telehealth GFE, which can complicate initial client consultations. RNs and mid-level practitioners may inject under delegation, but all services must be overseen by the medical director.
