What are the license fees to open a med spa in Utah?
Facility · part of The Practice Perimeter
Short answer
The cited rules do not settle this — they set only DOPL license fees (esthetician $60 initial/$52 renewal, master esthetician $85/$68, esthetician school $110/$110), not any med spa facility license, entity, or build-out cost.
The Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing’s fee schedule (initial application, then renewal): Esthetician N/A $60.00 $52.00 Esthetician Esthetician Apprentice $20.00 $20.00 Esthetician Esthetician Instructor $60.00 N/A Esthetician Esthetician School $110.00 $110.00 Esthetician Basic Esthetics Permit $60.00 $52.00 Esthetician Master Esthetician $85.00 $68.00; Cosmetology N/A $60.00 $52.00

Utah answers the compounded-semaglutide question by exclusion, and the exclusion is the sharpest on this pass. "Compounding" does not include the preparation by a pharmacist or pharmacy intern of any prescription drug in a dosage form which is regularly and commonly available from a manufacturer in quantities and strengths prescribed by a practitioner Semaglutide and tirzepatide are regularly and commonly available from their manufacturers, so preparing them in the marketed dosage form is not compounding in Utah at all — it falls outside the definition rather than inside it on conditions.
Utah Code § 58-17b-102(18)(b)(ii) (preparing a commercially available drug is NOT compounding) · verified Sep 7, 2026
The supply-chain route is excluded in the same subsection. "Compounding" does not include the preparation of prescription drugs by a pharmacist or pharmacy intern for sale to another pharmacist or pharmaceutical facility — so a pharmacy preparing stock to sell on to a clinic is not compounding either.
