Does a med spa have to register or hold a license in Nevada?

No chapter 449 facility license attaches to a med spa as such. Nevada requires a license to operate a medical facility, but its licensing definition of “medical facility” enumerates seventeen categories and neither a med spa nor a physician’s office is among them — that enumerated list is what was surveyed, and it does not speak to business registration generally. What Nevada does regulate directly is the PLACE where dermal fillers may be injected. The cosmetology chapter, by contrast, licenses the PREMISES and prices it in statute: any person wishing to operate a cosmetological establishment must apply through the owner, manager or person in charge with a detailed floor plan, submit the inspection and licensing fees, and pass an opening inspection before the license issues. The establishment license is $200 for 2 years or $400 for 4 years, the initial inspection $15 and an additional inspection $25; an initial esthetician or cosmetologist license is set by the Board within a statutory band of $50 to $100 for 2 years or $100 to $200 for 4 years. On compounded drugs the Board of Pharmacy’s regulations define compounding as the preparation, mixing or assembling of a drug product with at least one prescription-drug component for dispensing pursuant to a prescription or chart order, require a record for each compounded product made in excess of a prescription or in bulk, and treat an outsourcing facility — a sterile-compounding facility registered under 21 U.S.C. § 353b — as a manufacturer that must hold a Board manufacturer license and may dispense to identified individual patients on a prescription only if it is also licensed as a pharmacy.
