Does a med spa have to register or hold a license in Ohio?
Facility · part of The Practice Perimeter
There is no med-spa license in Ohio and no entity-level registration with the Medical Board. What Ohio regulates instead is the paper trail behind each delegated operator — and it expects that paper to exist before the device is switched on.

The rest of what Ohio says on this
Every other rule we have verified under med-spa registration & licensing, each linked to its primary source.
Ohio imposes no separate med-spa license or facility registration. The practice chooses a business form under the general entity statutes, and it is the physician’s license and the delegation record — not a facility permit — that the Board inspects.
