01 / 04Med spa and healthcare SEO
Before a Massachusetts med spa or plastic surgery practice launches new pages, ads or a booking page, we check each one against the rules below.
A 2013 Department of Public Health advisory treats fillers, botulinum toxin, chemical peels and laser, light and radiofrequency treatments as medical services. Under it, a med spa that offers them needs a clinic license unless its practitioners wholly own and control it and its name avoids the words "clinic", "institute" and "dispensary". So the name is checked before the brand work starts.
A 2024 Board of Registration in Medicine policy says Massachusetts law limits laser hair removal to licensed electrologists and physicians. It adds that the Board of Cosmetology and Barbering licenses the locations where it is done. A laser hair removal page should say who performs the treatment.
A physician’s ad must give the physician’s name, business address and degree (M.D. or D.O.), and may not guarantee a cure. A reproducible copy of each ad, online ones included, has to be kept for three years.
