The question of who can perform medical spa treatments is very variable. Much of it depends on the procedure being done and what state it's in. For example, in certain states, injections can only be done by a licensed doctor while in other states they can be done by a nurse practitioner. For procedures such as microdermabrasion, that might be performed by an aesthetician. So, looking at the procedure and the state will tell you exactly who is licensed to perform that procedure.
