## Overview

Georgia healthcare marketing compliance operates under the Georgia Composite Medical Board (GCMB) rules and the Georgia Fair Business Practices Act (FBPA). Georgia has been an active state for aesthetic practice growth and has corresponding enforcement interest in aesthetic and weight-loss marketing.


## Georgia Composite Medical Board (GCMB)

GCMB enforces advertising rules under Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. 360-3 and related provisions covering physician advertising, specialty claims, supervision representations, and testimonial rules. Enforcement has focused on cosmetic and aesthetic practice marketing.


## State attorney general focus

Georgia FBPA provides AG consumer-protection authority. Enforcement has included aesthetic practice pricing and package advertising, weight-loss marketing, and compounded medication advertising.


## Focus areas

- **Aesthetic practice supervision and specialty claims**: GCMB has been active on supervision representations in med spa and aesthetic practice marketing, as well as specialty-claim accuracy.
- **Compounded GLP-1 and weight-loss marketing**: Georgia's weight-loss clinic growth has drawn AG attention to compounded medication marketing and brand-equivalence language.
- **Package pricing advertising**: FBPA enforcement has included aesthetic practice package pricing without adequate add-on disclosure.
- **FBPA private enforcement**: FBPA permits private action with treble damages in appropriate cases.


## Patterns that draw enforcement attention

- **Nurse injector independence framing**: GCMB supervision enforcement.
- **Compounded GLP-1 brand-equivalence claims**: Georgia AG FBPA activity.
- **Package pricing without clear add-on disclosure**: FBPA consumer-protection exposure.
- **Specialty claims by non-certified physicians**: GCMB specialty-claim enforcement.
- **Guarantee language**: Both GCMB and FBPA apply.


## Specialty notes
