What: NBC News has an investigative piece looking at the rise of medspas and the complaints that have come with that territory, especially after the FDA issued a warning last month about “severe infections and skin deformities after they got unauthorized shots touted to dissolve fat at med spas across the country.”
Why it matters: The CEO of the American Med Spa Association pushed his organization as a way to weed out bad actors and establish more rules in the absence of federal laws. He also said state boards don’t have time to enforce requirements, like having a doctor or other medical professionals on staff.
