Who enforces deceptive med spa marketing in Florida?
Marketing · part of The Practice Perimeter
Short answer
The cited rules do not settle this fully — the Board of Medicine, via the Department of Health, disciplines physicians for false or deceptive advertising; FDUTPA makes deceptive med spa marketing unlawful but the cited rules name no enforcer for it.
Deceptive or unfair med-spa, injectable, or weight-loss marketing is also unlawful under Florida’s Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act.

← 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.
