The full Arizona answer, with the rest of the section →California
A licensed practitioner may not disseminate any false, fraudulent, misleading, or deceptive communication to induce patronage — expressly reaching undisclosed altered images, unsubstantiated superiority claims, and misleading “as low as” price teasers.

5 of the 6 states for which we publish statute-cited rules. That is not every state, and nothing above should be read as describing one that is not listed — the answer genuinely differs, so a neighbouring state is not a guide. We monitor all 50 state legislatures plus the FDA and the Federal Register daily; the cited rule set is narrower than the monitoring and is growing on its own timetable.
