Does a med spa have to register or hold a license in Florida?

Facility · part of The Practice Perimeter

Short answer
No med-spa-specific license — Florida has none in effect. But an entity providing health care services and billing for reimbursement needs an AHCA clinic license for each location unless it is wholly owned by physicians or other licensed practitioners.

Florida has NO med-spa-specific registration or licensure law in effect; HB 625 (2025) died in committee. ⚠️ but there is a registration most practices DO NOT HOLD: a practitioner who dispenses drugs for fee or remuneration of any kind, direct or indirect, must register with their board as a dispensing practitioner — and a registered practitioner may not dispense a Schedule II or III controlled substance, which is where testosterone sits.

  • ⚠️ the supplier of a compounded injectable needs a Florida permit, and this is checkable. “in order to ship, mail, deliver, or dispense, in any manner, a compounded sterile product into this state, a nonresident pharmacy registered under s. 465.0156, or an outsourcing facility, must hold a nonresident sterile compounding permit.” Compounded semaglutide is a sterile product; a Florida practice buying it from out of state should ask to see this permit before the first delivery.

  • What the permit requires is a paper trail and a signed promise. The applicant must give the board proof of registration as an outsourcing facility with the federal Department of Health and Human Services where eligible under the Drug Quality and Security Act, proof of nonresident pharmacy registration or an active unencumbered home-state license permitting it to compound and ship into Florida, and “written attestation by an owner or officer of the applicant, and by the applicant’s prescription department manager or pharmacist in charge” that they have read the state’s sterile compounding rules and that product shipped in “meets or exceeds this state’s standards for sterile compounding”.
