Update 12/21/2023: On December 21, 2023, the Texas Medical Board amended its suspension order for Dr. Gallagher, the medical director of Luxe Med Spa, to allow Gallagher to practice anesthesiology. However, he remains restricted from practicing medicine in other forms, including supervising or delegating to others in all circumstances.

Update 10/13/2023: The medical license of Luxe Med Spa’s medical director has been temporarily suspended by Texas Medical Board. The board cites a continuing threat to public welfare due to the doctor’s improper supervision of IV treatments, which resulted in a patient’s death. The Texas Medical Board will hold a hearing within 10 days, with the license suspension remaining in place until the board takes further action.
