What can a med spa advertise in Maine?
Marketing · part of The Practice Perimeter
Maine states the advertising rule as a discipline ground in three words — false, misleading or deceptive — and pairs it with a fraud ground that reaches misrepresentation in connection with the service rendered, not merely in obtaining the license. Alongside the board, Maine’s Unfair Trade Practices Act declares unfair or deceptive acts or practices in the conduct of any trade or commerce unlawful, and gives the Attorney General power to bring an action in the name of the State for an injunction and for restoration of money or property to anyone who suffered an ascertainable loss.
