What does Connecticut prohibit in med spa advertising?
Marketing · part of The Practice Perimeter
Short answer
Not directly — the cited rules don't limit ad claims; they require every med spa advertisement to name the physician, PA, APRN or RN performing cosmetic medical procedures, or to state that the names are on the spa's website and list that address.
Connecticut regulates medical spa advertising directly: any advertisement by the spa must carry the information identifying the physician, physician assistant, advanced practice registered nurse or registered nurse who performs cosmetic medical procedures — or state that the information may be found on the spa’s Internet web site and list that address.

← 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. 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.
