During a recent meeting of the South Carolina House Regulations, Admin. Proc., AI and Cybersecurity Committee, significant strides were made in updating regulations for estheticians. The committee focused on expanding and clarifying the types of treatments that estheticians are permitted to perform, aligning these updates with existing laws set by the board of medical examiners.

The proposed regulations aim to define the medical devices that can only be used by licensed medical professionals. This move is crucial as it establishes a clear standard for evaluating the use of new devices in the aesthetics field as they emerge. By doing so, the committee seeks to ensure that estheticians operate within safe and regulated parameters, ultimately enhancing the quality of care provided to clients.

These updates are expected to streamline practices within the aesthetics industry while maintaining high safety standards. As the field evolves with new technologies, the committee's proactive approach will help safeguard public health and ensure that estheticians are well-equipped to deliver effective treatments.
