S1E35 - Who’s Protecting Your Med Spa — Before the Rules Change?

In this episode of Business Talk, Meghan McNulty sits down with Kendahl Kenson of the Medical Aesthetics Advocacy Council (MAAC) to explore the increasing legislative pressures on med spas — and why compliance alone isn't enough.

They discuss:  What MAAC does — and how it differs from compliance or education groups  Why new laws appear almost every month that could reshape who can treat, supervise, or even own a med spa  What lobbying really involves — and why small providers shouldn’t ignore it  Who should join MAAC (hint: it’s more than just physicians)  How MAAC provides a seat at the table — not just another newsletter

Whether you're a physician, medical spa owner, or investor, the future of your business depends more than service and results — it hinges on how laws are shaped and enforced. Kendahl explains how MAAC fills the gap where compliance manuals stop: monitoring legislation in all 50 states, appearing in hearings, and building critical advocacy infrastructure for this fast-growing industry.

If your license, livelihood, or investment is tied to aesthetics, this episode offers insight and an important invitation: join the conversation before the rules shift.
