Advertising rules in South Carolina

South Carolina reaches deceptive med-spa marketing through the Board of Medical Examiners’ misconduct grounds: dishonorable, unethical or unprofessional conduct likely to deceive, defraud or harm the public is misconduct, and so is using a false or fraudulent statement in a document connected with the licensee’s practice.

  • Misconduct that constitutes grounds for disciplinary action is a showing to the board by the preponderance of evidence that a licensee has engaged in dishonorable, unethical, or unprofessional conduct that is likely either to deceive, defraud, or harm the public.

  • Whenever the Attorney General has reasonable cause to believe that any person is using, has used or is about to use any method, act or practice declared unlawful by Section 39-5-20 of the Unfair Trade Practices Act, and that proceedings would be in the public interest, he may bring an action in the name of the State to restrain the practice by temporary restraining order, temporary injunction or permanent injunction.

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.
