Medical Spa Laws in Oregon

Oregon allows non-physician ownership of medical spas through an MSO model with a supervising physician. The state is moderately permissive: RNs may inject under physician delegation if they have documented training and competency. Telehealth good-faith exams are conditionally allowed if a physician-patient relationship exists and in-person follow-up is scheduled. Owners must maintain clear delegation protocols and training records.
