Can Kansas shut down a med spa that is operating unlawfully?
Enforcement · part of The Practice Perimeter
Short answer
The cited rules do not settle this — unlicensed practice of a board-regulated profession is unlawful, with penalties up to $1,000 per day, and the attorney general or a county or district attorney may seek an injunction or restraining order against a supplier.
Unless otherwise specified by the board or as provided in K.S.A. 2025 Supp. 65-28,134, and amendments thereto, it shall be unlawful for any person who does not have a license, registration, permit or certificate to engage in the practice of any profession regulated by the board or whose license, registration, permit or certificate to practice has been revoked or suspended to engage in the practice of any profession regulated by the board.

← All Kansas 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.
