Tennessee has been a substantial growth market for med spas, weight-loss telehealth, and regenerative medicine practices, with corresponding state-level enforcement attention.


## Tennessee Board of Medical Examiners

The TN Board of Medical Examiners enforces Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 0880 advertising rules including deceptive advertising prohibitions, specialty claims, supervision representations, and testimonial restrictions. Enforcement has focused on med spa and aesthetic practice marketing.
