The American Med Spa Association (AmSpa) has launched a website that summarises state-specific laws and regulations affecting medical spas and laser centres across the United States.

The website, produced in partnership with local healthcare attorneys in over 30 US states, was created to provide access to regulatory information related to the medical spa industry, which is growing rapidly.

"Med spa owners and industry professionals have complained for years about a lack of information relative to what med spas can and cannot do," said Alex Thiersch, founder and director of AmSpa.

"It was often impossible to locate even basic information on regulatory issues because the laws in each state are confusing and difficult to find."

Found on AmSpa’s website, the state law summaries look to provide answers to questions often raised by regulations, while also giving access to a breakdown of what the regulations and laws mean. The site also provides information to ensure medical providers and owners of medical spas can be certain that they are meeting specific state regulations.

The partnership with local medical spa attorneys in each state will ensure answers are provided by professionals who have experience navigating the healthcare regulations specific to each state.
