Arizona scope of practice for med spas
Who may perform which procedures, and under what supervision, by state. Below are the Arizona rules that govern it, each linked to its primary source.
RN / NP scope for injectables in Arizona
The Nurse Practice Act defines registered nursing as diagnosing and treating human responses, establishing a nursing diagnosis, prescribing and delegating nursing interventions, and related acts. Prescriptive authority for legend drugs is granted separately, to registered nurse practitioners, and not by this definition.
A.R.S. §32-1601(24) · verified Jul 26, 2026
A registered nurse practitioner may diagnose and may prescribe, administer, and dispense legend drugs and devices within the NP scope — so an NP may both order and administer cosmetic injectables.
A.R.S. §32-1601(23) · verified Jul 26, 2026
The board may issue limited licenses or certificates if it determines that an applicant or licensee cannot function safely in a specific setting or within the full scope of practice.

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. Read the cited source, check its effective date, and confirm any change to your operations or clinical practice with qualified health-law counsel and your medical director.
