Find answers to the most common questions we receive about our medical director matching services and the expectations for both parties
When selecting a medical spa medical director, it is important to consider both credentials and real-world experience. A qualified candidate should have a minimum of 5 years' experience in performing, supervising, or managing aesthetic procedures and treatments within a medi-spa setting, as well as advanced training in aesthetic medicine. Additionally, the individual should possess an active and valid board certification or licensure from a relevant accredited governing body such as the American Board of Dermatology (ABD) or American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).
The primary responsibility of a medical spa medical director is to deliver quality medical care and ensure that all treatments are safe and effective. This includes overseeing the operations of the medi-spa and providing clinical leadership on all aesthetic services such as laser hair removal, injectables, facials, chemical peels, and other treatments. Additionally, they must be able to provide guidance to staff members regarding the safe use of medi-spa equipment, and must adhere to all federal and state laws governing the practice of medicine.
When hiring a medical spa medical director, it is crucial to choose a qualified professional with extensive experience in performing aesthetic services. Key qualifications include formal education, a license in good standing, and board certification. The candidate's educational background should encompass coursework related to skin anatomy, laser physics, facial anatomy, wound healing and rejuvenation processes, cosmetic chemistry and cosmeceuticals, safety protocols for lasers, light sources, injectables, and cosmeceuticals, complaint resolution methods, principles of developing patient treatment plans, comprehensive legal and ethical issues in practicing medicine, and billing and coding protocols. Additionally, the individual should have completed training through recognized industry organizations such as the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery (ASLMS), or the International Association for Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine (IAPAM). These qualifications ensure medical directors are well-versed in aesthetic medicine.
Malpractice insurance coverage is important when hiring any healthcare provider due to the potential for lawsuits resulting from various risks. Areas covered typically include general liability coverage for premises liability claims related to injury occurring onsite at the medi-spa from unsafe conditions or equipment malfunction; professional liability protection from any malpractice claims arising from negligence or omission by the practitioner; breach of contract protection against any breach of contract agreements between the medi-spa and its employees/contractors; product liability protection covering injury caused by products offered at your business; copyright infringement protection if applicable material used by your medi-spa violates another party’s copyright laws; cyber liability insurance covering risks associated with online activities conducted by your business including potential loss of data security breaches; property damage coverage for damages caused by accidental accidents involving equipment owned by your business that may cause harm or destruction onsite or offsite.
