1. Beautifying, massaging, cleansing, exfoliating, or

4. Performing services as a certified medical
esthetician, including microdermabrasion, dermaplaning,
microneedling, and radio frequency treatment.
However, esthetics does not include the services provided
by a cosmetologist or electrologist. Estheticians are
prohibited from using techniques, products, and practices
intended to affect the living layers of the skin. The term
esthetics includes rendering advice on what is cosmetically
appealing, but no person licensed under this Act shall render
advice on what is appropriate medical treatment for diseases
of the skin.
(B) "Esthetician" means any person who, with hands or
mechanical or electrical apparatus or appliances, engages only
in the use of cosmetic preparations, body treatments, body
wraps, hydrotherapy, makeups, antiseptics, tonics, lotions,
creams or other preparations or in the practice of massaging,
cleansing, exfoliating the stratum corneum of the epidermis,
stimulating, manipulating, beautifying, grooming, threading,
or similar work on the face, neck, arms and hands or body in a
superficial mode, and not for the treatment of medical
disorders.
