Advertising rules in Delaware
Delaware’s cited advertising rules are written as grounds of discipline. Advertising the practice of medicine, or another profession regulated under the chapter, in an unethical or unprofessional manner is unprofessional conduct — as is any false, fraudulent, deceitful, dishonest or unethical practice in connection with the practice of medicine, and the solicitation or acceptance of a fee by FRAUDULENT representation that a manifestly incurable condition, as determined with reasonable medical certainty, can be permanently cured. On the aesthetics side the prohibition is on holding out: a person may not use any title or description conveying or tending to convey the impression that they are qualified to practice aesthetics unless licensed. These claims survey 24 Del. C. §§1731 and 5125.

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.
