What are the license fees to open a med spa in Delaware?
Facility · part of The Practice Perimeter
Short answer
The cited rules do not settle a dollar amount — Delaware sets each fee by cost recovery, with a separate charge per service and no combined application fee, recomputed each licensure biennium, so read the current figure from the Division.
Delaware does not publish a dollar figure, and the honest answer is the mechanism rather than a number. The amount to be charged for each fee imposed under this chapter shall approximate and reasonably reflect all costs necessary to defray the expenses of the Board, as well as the proportional expenses incurred by the Division of Professional Regulation in its services on behalf of the Board. There shall be a separate fee charged for each service or activity; but no fee shall be charged for an activity not specified in this chapter. The application fee shall not be combined with any other fee or charge. Fees are recomputed each licensure biennium to match the Board’s costs, so an operator budgeting to open should expect a separate charge per service and should read the current biennium’s figure from the Division rather than from the statute.

Delaware is one of the states that says office use out loud, which makes its answer on compounded semaglutide different from most. Nothing in this title is meant to limit a prescriber’s ability under pre-existing law to order a compounded medication for use in the prescriber’s practice, as permitted by State of Delaware and federal law. A prescriber may order compounded product for use in the practice rather than against a named patient — but only so far as other Delaware and federal law already allow, so this preserves an existing ability and creates none.

The definition itself is the familiar pair. “Compounding” means the preparation, assembling, packaging, or labeling of a drug as the result of a practitioner’s prescription or initiative based on the relationship of the practitioner or patient with the pharmacist in the course of professional practice or for the purpose of, or incident to, research, teaching, or chemical analysis and not for sale or dispensing.
