What are the license fees to open a med spa in New Mexico?
Facility · part of The Practice Perimeter
Short answer
The cited rules do not settle total cost — the only price they set is the board's establishment license: $200 original and $50 renewal (a school license is $500). No other opening fee or med spa startup cost appears in them.
New Mexico publishes the cost of entry as a fee rule, so this is the price rather than an estimate. 16.34.14.8 FEES: The board or department, where applicable, may charge the following fees: A. Enterprise or establishment license (original): $200.00 B. Enterprise or establishment license (renewal): $50.00. A School license (original and renewal) is $500.00. Part 14 exists to set fees; the civil penalties in Part 15 are a different instrument and are not what it costs to open.

← All New Mexico 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.
