What must a med spa in Alabama report to the board?
Facility · part of The Practice Perimeter
Short answer
Not the spa — the physician must notify the Board in writing of any change or added facility location where LLBD procedures occur, and report emergency transfers, unscheduled hospitalizations, third-degree dermal injury or death within three business days.
(1) Every physician who proposes to perform any LLBD procedure in Alabama under these rules shall register with the Board prior to performing any procedure. (2) Registration shall be accomplished on a form provided by the Board. (3) After initially registering, it shall be the obligation of the registrant to notify the Board in writing of any change or addition of facility location where LLBD procedures occur or are offered for use.

Alabama publishes actual amounts rather than a ceiling, so this is the price and not a cap. Fees shall be the following: (a) Written Examination or Reexamination $75 (b) Practical Examination or Reexamination $130 (c) Original License $50 (d) Personal Renewal $100 (e) New Shop $200 (f) Shop Renewal $150 Opening a shop costs $200 and renewing it $150, while the individual practitioner pays $50 to be licensed and $100 to renew — premises and practitioner billed separately, as in most states.

← All Alabama rules and changes · MedSpaRadar is regulatory monitoring and reference: it summarizes public laws, regulations and agency actions and links each to its source. It is not legal, medical, or compliance advice, and using it creates no attorney-client relationship. A summary can lag its source or leave out detail, and monitoring itself can be interrupted — so an absence of alerts means nothing reached you, not that nothing happened.
