from using techniques, products, and practices intended to affect the living layers of the skin. The term esthetics includes rendering advice on what is

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.
