What must a med spa in Mississippi report to the board?

The rest of what Mississippi says on this

Every other rule we have verified under med-spa registration & licensing, each linked to its primary source.

• Office surgery is defined as surgery which is performed outside a hospital, an ambulatory surgical center, abortion clinic, or other medical facility licensed by the Mississippi State Department of Health or a successor agency. Physicians performing Level II or Level III office based surgery must register with the Mississippi State Board of Medical Licensure. That office-surgery registration and the practitioner licenses are the only registrations Title 73, chapter 25 and the Board’s Part 2635 require of a physician’s office; Mississippi issues no license or registration specific to a medical spa. A salon where esthetics is practiced is licensed under the cosmetology chapter.
