What limits does Connecticut place on a med spa's business structure?
Ownership · part of The Practice Perimeter
Short answer
The cited rules do not settle this — no particular entity is mandated; they only require the spa to employ or contract a physician, PA, or APRN, and, if a professional corporation is used, its shareholders must all be licensed to render that same service.
Any person or group of persons licensed or otherwise legally authorized to render the same professional services may organize and become a shareholder or shareholders of a professional corporation for profit under the provisions of chapter 601, for the sole and specific purpose of rendering the same professional service.

← All Connecticut 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.
