License lookups for the boards that cover spa and med spa treatments in Vermont, and what official sources say on five questions — each with its source and the date we checked.
3 official sources on 3 of 5 topics · 4 boards · 2 official lookup sites · 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.

We found official statements on 3 of 5 topics. Not located yet: who may inject botox and fillers; who may own a med spa. Not located means we have nothing official to show you — it says nothing about what is allowed.
We haven’t found an official statement on this for Vermont 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 will inject me, what license do they hold, and which clinician examined me, ordered this and supervises them?”
Check it with the board
“Who may inject botulinum toxin or dermal filler here — which licenses, after what exam or order, and under what supervision?”
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, and the nursing board for nurses.

Who decides
Usually the medical board, sometimes alongside state health or business law.

According to OPR's FAQ, anyone using lasers must personally hold an appropriate medical license or an electrology license with a laser endorsement, and a medical director's involvement does not meet this requirement.

Still ask the place: “Who operates the laser or IPL device, what license or certification do they hold, and who supervises them?”
Vermont's professional regulators say offering IV therapy is the practice of medicine. Only MDs, DOs, PAs, APRNs and naturopathic physicians with a prescribing endorsement may prescribe IV saline products, patients may not self-prescribe from a menu, and standing orders from IV clinic medical directors are not valid prescriptions. IV products may be administered only by those prescribers, RNs and certain LPNs; LNAs, cosmetologists and estheticians may not administer them even with a medical director on site.

Still ask the place: “Who assesses me and orders what goes in the bag, and who places the IV — under which license?”
