This bill is known as Senate Bill 2366 (SB 2366); you can review the text of SB 2366 in full here.SB 2366 defines a “medical spa” as an establishment that offers nonsurgical medical cosmetic procedures. These procedures would fall under regulation by the Texas Medical Board, and include: 
• Injections of medicines or substances for cosmetic purposes;
• Colonics; and
• Prescription medical devices for cosmetic purposes.

• The injection of toxins and dermal fillers; 
• Microneedling;
