What does Florida prohibit in med spa advertising?
Marketing · part of The Practice Perimeter
Short answer
The cited rules do not list what may be advertised — they set only an outer limit: false, deceptive, or misleading physician advertising is disciplinable, and deceptive or unfair med spa marketing also breaches Florida's unfair trade practices act.
False, deceptive, or misleading advertising by a physician is a ground for discipline.

← All Florida 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.
