Medical Spa Laws in Wisconsin

Wisconsin takes a moderate approach to medical spa regulation, permitting non-physician ownership through MSO structures with a required physician medical director. The state allows RNs and mid-level practitioners to inject under proper delegation and supervision, and permits telehealth good-faith exams under specific conditions. Clarify telehealth GFE eligibility and delegation scope with the Medical Examining Board before operations begin.
