In Maryland, medical spa treatments that require a good faith evaluation (GFE) include various procedures considered part of medical practice. These treatments, which involve FDA-approved drugs or devices, necessitate an initial evaluation by a licensed medical professional to ensure patient safety and suitability. Key treatments requiring a GFE include injectables like Botox® and dermal fillers, laser treatments such as laser hair removal and broadband light therapy, as well as chemical peels, microneedling, and IV therapy.

Good faith exams (GFE's,) often referred to as pre-authorization or clearance exams, are evaluations conducted by advanced practitioners prior to a conducting medical procedure. These exams aim to confirm the medical necessity of the procedure and ensure it is the most suitable choice for the patient's health. A good faith exam in aesthetics should always include a thorough health history for each patient, a customized treatment plan, and be documented in the patient's chart.
