Aesthetic NP Practice Authority
What an NP, PA, or RN entering aesthetic medicine in Florida needs to know — sourced from the AANP State Practice Environment + the Florida Board of Nursing.
No. FL requires physician supervision/delegation. Solo NP-owned aesthetic practices use an MSO/PC structure with a Florida-licensed medical director. FL did pass autonomous-practice for primary care in 2020 but this excludes aesthetic services.
Protocol-based physician supervision required for prescribing in aesthetic context.
GFE required. Telehealth GFE allowed under FL statute §456.47 with restrictions.
RNs may inject aesthetic medications (botulinum toxin, dermal fillers, fat-dissolving) under a valid prescriber order and approved protocol. Only PRESCRIBING requires a licensed NP/MD/DO. Verify with your board.
Free. 7 minutes. Returns a state-specific 90-day roadmap to opening your own aesthetic practice. Built by Faisal Darwiche, NP — 27 years, three practices, the Aesthetic Show faculty. The plan I'd hand my younger self.
