License lookups for the boards that cover spa and med spa treatments in Connecticut, and what official sources say on five questions — each with its source and the date we checked.
4 official sources on 3 of 5 topics · 3 boards · 1 official lookup site · checked Sep 14, 2026
These are research summaries of official sources, checked on the dates shown. They are not legal advice, rules change, and the linked source controls. City and other municipal rules, including a local business license or zoning, can also apply. This page is the state board only. Confirm with the board.
Ask the person treating you for their license type and number, then search the board that issued it. A title like “injector” or “specialist” isn’t a license type, so a board lookup won’t list it.

Where we found an official statement, you’ll see our plain summary, the source, how binding that kind of source is, and when we checked. Where we didn’t, you’ll see the question to ask the place instead.

We found official statements on 3 of 5 topics. Not located yet: who may own a med spa; iv hydration and drips. Not located means we have nothing official to show you — it says nothing about what is allowed.
At a medical spa, cosmetic medical procedures (the statute's list includes injection of neurotoxins and cosmetic fillers) may only be performed by the spa's physician, physician assistant or APRN, or by a registered nurse. A physician, PA or APRN employed by or contracted with the spa must perform an initial in-person physical assessment of each person before the procedure.

Still ask the place: “Who will inject me, what license do they hold, and which clinician examined me, ordered this and supervises them?”
We haven’t found an official statement on this for Connecticut yet.
That doesn’t tell you whether something is allowed or not — only that we have no official statement to show you.
Ask the place
“Who owns this practice, and who is its medical director?”
Check it with the board
“Must a practice offering medical aesthetic services be owned by, or employ, a licensed physician — and must it name a medical director?”
Put this to the board, or search its rules and position statements for it. Its answer, with a date, is what settles it — not the place’s.
Who decides
Usually the medical board, sometimes alongside state health or business law.

Connecticut's medical spa statute defines laser hair removal, laser skin resurfacing, other laser procedures and intense pulsed light as cosmetic medical procedures. At a medical spa these may only be performed by the spa's physician, PA or APRN, or by a registered nurse, after the required initial in-person assessment.

The Medical Examining Board ruled that using lasers for hair removal is the practice of medicine. A physician must assess each patient before and during treatment, may delegate operation of the laser to certain licensed personnel (such as physician assistants and nurses) working under physician supervision, and must provide direct on-site supervision.

Connecticut's legal definition of esthetics excludes using a prescriptive laser device, performing any 'cosmetic medical procedure' as defined in the medical spa statute, and anything that is the practice of medicine. That medical spa definition lists, among others, dermaplaning, dermastamping, dermarolling and chemical peels above 30% concentration with a pH below 3.0.
