ESTHETICIANS: Provides relative to esthetics. (8/1/26)

SB 54 defines "esthetics" in Louisiana law to clarify which cosmetic services estheticians may perform. The bill specifies that esthetics includes practices like facial massages, eyebrow tinting, lash enhancements, waxing, and skin treatments using approved equipment, but explicitly excludes diagnosing or treating skin conditions and hair removal via electrolysis. This definition directly affects licensed estheticians by setting clear boundaries for their permitted services. The bill is a technical amendment to existing law, not a new policy requiring funding or enforcement changes. It does not alter current licensing requirements but provides a precise legal description of the profession's scope.
