What can a med spa advertise in New Jersey?

Marketing · part of The Practice Perimeter

New Jersey has the most demanding testimonial rule in this corpus. A med spa running patient stories or influencer content is squarely inside it, and the paperwork obligation outlives the campaign by three years.

The rest of what New Jersey says on this

Every other rule we have verified under advertising rules, each linked to its primary source.

  • An advertisement may not contain any statement, claim or format that is false, fraudulent, misleading or deceptive, may not misrepresent a material fact, may not claim superiority over standard professional practice, and may not offer services beyond the licensee’s ability to perform. Any guarantee of results from any procedure is prohibited outright.

  • A patient testimonial must truthfully reflect that patient’s actual experience and must carry two conspicuous disclaimers — that the procedure may not be suitable for everyone, and as to its risks. Where the person giving it was compensated, that must be disclosed in the words “COMPENSATION HAS BEEN PROVIDED FOR THIS TESTIMONIAL”.

    N.J.A.C. 13:35-6.10 · verified Aug 17, 2026

  • The physician must keep documentation supporting a testimonial for three years, including a signed and notarized statement from the patient. The record-keeping duty outlives the campaign.

    N.J.A.C. 13:35-6.10 · verified Aug 17, 2026

  • Having advertised fraudulently in any manner is a standalone statutory ground on which a New Jersey board may refuse, suspend or revoke a license — separate from the advertising regulation itself.
