Information maintained by the Legislative
Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.

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,

face, neck, arms and hands or body in a superficial mode, and not for
the treatment of medical disorders.
