Colorado’s Rise in Med Spa Malpractice
and How to Stay Safe

Over the past year, Colorado has seen a troubling rise in unsafe and unregulated aesthetic practices. These include unlicensed injectors, counterfeit products, and med spas operating without adequate medical oversight. Let's break down what's happening—and how you can stay safe while enjoying beauty treatments.

What's Going on in Colorado?

• Unlicensed Practitioners Continuing to Operate Under Cease-and-Desist Orders
  Over the years, investigators have found cases where individuals, despite being officially barred by the Colorado Medical Board, continued offering injectables in multiple locations, with zero physician supervision.

• New State Law Targeting Transparency in Med Spa Practices
  House Bill HB 25-1024 mandates that med spas using unlicensed staff must clearly disclose who is performing treatments, their supervising provider, and their license information—in their offices, marketing, and consent forms.

• National Scares: Fake Botox Causing Serious Harm
  The CDC reported fake Botox in nine states—including Colorado—causing botulism symptoms and hospitalizations. While not Colorado-specific, this highlights the dangers of counterfeit cosmetic products.

Why This Matters for You

1. Your Face Isn’t a Place for Risk
   Injectables are medical procedures. Your face contains vital blood vessels and nerves. Without licensed training and proper hygiene, treatments pose real risks—like infections, tissue damage, blockages, or even blindness.

2. Transparency Equals Trust
   HB 25-1024 ensures you know exactly who is administering your treatment and under whose medical supervision—a critical layer of safety and accountability.

3. Professional Oversight Is Essential
   Licensed providers (PAs, MDs, NPs) trained in facial anatomy use sterile techniques and FDA-approved products. They can prevent, recognize, and manage complications—safeguarding your health and beauty.
