The rest of what Michigan says on this
Every other rule we have verified under advertising rules, each linked to its primary source.
FALSE OR MISLEADING ADVERTISING is a ground for disciplinary action, listed as one of the “unethical business practices”. Michigan does not give med spas a bespoke advertising rule; it applies the same ground to every licensee the Public Health Code reaches. (Complete through PA 38 of 2025.)

The company that ground keeps is instructive: the same subdivision covers DIVIDING FEES FOR REFERRAL of patients and ACCEPTING KICKBACKS on medical or surgical services, appliances, or medications. Michigan treats a misleading advertisement as the same species of wrong as a kickback, not as a lesser marketing infraction.
