License lookups for the boards that cover spa and med spa treatments in Hawaii, and what official sources say on five questions — each with its source and the date we checked.
1 official source on 1 of 5 topics · 4 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.

What to look for on the lookup
Every board’s lookup looks a little different. If something is unclear, contact the board.
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.
