​AOS #35 Roles of Nurses in Cosmetic and Dermatological Procedures address many concerns related to nurses who wish to practice in a Med Spa - https://kbn.ky.gov/KBN%20Documents/aos35-cosmetic-and-dermatological-procedures-by-nurses.pdf. 

 
Provided below are some important takeaways from this opinion.  It is recommended to review the AOS in its entirety if practicing in this setting.

• Aesthetic, cosmetic, and dermatological procedures may be performed by a nurse as a part of a medically prescribed plan of care for treatment of various dermatological conditions.
• The RN may follow standing orders/protocol after the qualified healthcare provider has established a treatment plan.
• RNs are able to implement interventions, administer medications, and treatments as prescribed and supervised by a physician, physician assistant, dentist, or APRN.
• It is not within the scope of practice for an RN to independently practice, order products, prescribe treatments, or perform medical aesthetic procedures such as Botox© or Dermal fillers.

The Kentucky statutes applicable to cosmetologists, and estheticians' licenses are not applicable to nursing practice. They are regulated under KRS Chapter 317A.
