PRP therapy uses the patient’s own platelet-rich plasma to target hair loss. This may potentially stimulate hair growth. And for practitioners offering this specialised service, having appropriate insurance protection is essential.

What Risks Are Associated with PRP Injections?
PRP therapy is generally considered safe since it uses the patient’s blood. However, risks that practitioners must manage may include:
- Injection site reactions – Pain, swelling, redness, or infection at the injection sites.
- Nerve injury – Improper injection technique can damage scalp nerves.
- Allergic reactions – Rarely, patients may react to the anticoagulant used.
- Treatment expectations – Patients may be dissatisfied if the results don’t meet unrealistic expectations.
- Cross-contamination – Improper handling of blood or equipment can lead to contamination.
- Procedural complications – Mistakes in preparing the PRP injections can affect treatment success.
These risks show why specialised insurance is essential for protecting your practice and reputation.

What Can PRP for Hair Loss Insurance Cover?
Insurance for PRP hair loss treatments can protect you from a range of risks linked to your work. It can cover claims, legal costs, and issues with equipment or patient interactions.
Medical Malpractice Insurance
Medical malpractice insurance can cover claims of negligence, mistakes, or poor results during PRP treatments. It can include legal defence and compensation if you’re found responsible.
Public Liability Insurance
Public liability can protect you if someone is injured or their property is damaged in connection with your practice. For example, a patient slips in your clinic and gets hurt. This policy can help cover compensation claims.
Products Liability Insurance
If the equipment or materials you use in treatments cause harm, product liability can help manage claims. For example, there are issues with devices like centrifuges or treatment products.
Legal Defence Costs
Even if a claim has no merit, legal help can be costly. This policy can cover the funds for your legal defence, so you’re not left facing bills alone.
Why Do PRP Practitioners Need Specialist Insurance?
Medical professionals providing PRP treatments for hair loss face unique risks. Standard policies might not fully address the specific concerns associated with this specialised aesthetic procedure.
PRP therapy sits at the intersection of medical treatment and aesthetic enhancement. This creates a distinct risk profile. The procedure includes drawing blood, processing biological materials, and injecting them into the scalp. Each step carries potential complications. Patients also often have high expectations for hair regrowth, which can lead to claims of negligence or dissatisfaction.
Specialist insurance for PRP practitioners can address these challenges and offer appropriate protection.

Does my existing medical indemnity insurance cover PRP treatments?
General medical indemnity policies may not explicitly include aesthetic treatments like PRP for hair loss. These often need to be listed separately. It’s important to check your policy wording and speak to a specialist to spot any gaps. Our team can review your cover and advise if you need extra protection for PRP work.
What qualifications do I need to be eligible for PRP treatment insurance?
You must be a medically trained professional with proper training in PRP. This includes knowing how to handle blood and give safe injections. Insurers usually ask for proof of training, professional memberships, and that you follow industry standards. Meeting these helps you qualify and may also lower your premium.
What happens if a patient makes a claim against me?
If a patient claims your PRP treatment caused harm or didn’t meet expectations, your insurance can help. It may cover legal advice, defence costs, and any compensation you’re required to pay. If a claim is made, you must inform your insurer as soon as possible. The team can guide you through the process, from gathering evidence to resolving the case.
