Med Spas in New Mexico: Questions People Ask

Are med spas regulated in New Mexico?

Yes. The New Mexico Medical Board says cosmetic injections and the use of lasers, IPL and similar devices are the practice of medicine.

A Board of Nursing rule in effect since May 21, 2024 covers nurses in aesthetic healthcare facilities.

Nurses may work at such a facility only if it employs an APRN or other licensed independent practitioner as clinical supervisor.

Who can do Botox in New Mexico?

The Board of Nursing rule lets an RN give aesthetic injections, including neuromodulators and fillers, only when delegated by and under the indirect supervision of an APRN or other clinical supervisor.

LPNs may not perform aesthetic injections.

The New Mexico Medical Board says cosmetic injections may not be delegated to medical assistants.

Who can do laser hair removal in New Mexico?

The New Mexico Medical Board treats cosmetic lasers and IPL as the practice of medicine.

Certified medical assistants may use only non-incisive, non-ablative devices, with the supervising physician on the premises and a device-specific certificate of training on file with the Board.

The Board of Nursing rule counts laser hair removal as an aesthetic procedure, so an APRN or other licensed independent practitioner must examine the patient and set a treatment plan before a nurse does it.

Do I need an exam before Botox in New Mexico?

Yes, if a nurse gives the treatment.

An APRN or other licensed independent practitioner must first examine you face to face, make a diagnosis and prescribe a treatment plan, and a telemedicine video exam is allowed.
