Every other rule we have verified under med-spa registration & licensing, each linked to its primary source.
A med spa organized as a professional limited liability company, a professional service corporation or a medical corporation must register with IDFPR and is regulated by it, and must file the appropriate articles with the Illinois Secretary of State in addition to applying for that registration.
