You did it properly. Patients still cannot tell the difference.
You carry the malpractice premium. You source FDA-approved product from licensed distributors. Your medical director is involved in every clinical decision, because it is you.
And yet a patient comparing med spas on her phone sees clean branding, confident captions and five-star reviews everywhere. She cannot see who is supervising, where the product came from, or whether there is hyaluronidase on the shelf. So the decision comes down to price and photos.
"Doctor-led" on your website has not fixed that. This session is about what does.
Six situations that start well and end badly.
Each one begins with everything going right. Dr. Dee explains what is wrong with it and the fix, on the night.
Your new hire is experienced, patients love her, and revenue is up. Why it can still put your license at risk.
Your office manager finds toxin and filler at a better price. The website looks legitimate.
A patient says "sure, post my photos." Your team takes them on a phone.
A med spa across town asks you to be its medical director. "Just review a few charts each month."
Your filler consent form is one page, written the year you opened. Nobody has ever complained.
It is Friday afternoon, a lip blanches during filler, and there are four vials of hyaluronidase in the fridge.
None of these is about clinical skill. Each is a system you assumed someone else was handling.

This is not for you if
- You are looking for a credential you can buy
- Your medical director is a name on paper
- You want growth tactics that cut corners

- 01The pitfalls: the scenarios above, with what is wrong and the fix

- 03How it works: the eight standards, the application, the document review and the medical director interview
- 04What it costs, and an offer for those who attend
"Nothing in aesthetics is worth permanent harm. I did not build Medspa Board from a boardroom. I built it from inside a clinic that was paying over $18,000 a year in malpractice premiums while the spa down the road had a ghost doctor and charged $8 a unit. On November 2, I will show you exactly what we verify, and why the spa down the road cannot pass it."

The standard real physicians stand behind.
We are so glad we joined the Medspa Board. As a physician-led spa, it is very important for us to communicate to our patients that we follow the highest standard of care and safety.
Dr. Judith Borger, Physician
Certification gives patients something they deserve: confidence that the practice caring for them meets real standards for safety and quality.
Dr. Kim Nicoll, Physician
Every patient who walks into a med spa should have complete confidence that their safety comes first, not just their results.
Jami Avellini, MD and Katherine Thompson, DO
