Non-surgical cosmetic practitioners are crucial in helping clients achieve their desired look without invasive procedures. However, with this responsibility comes the need for extensive insurance cover.
At Enhance Insurance, we understand the unique challenges faced by aesthetics practitioners in the UK. We can provide tailored aesthetics insurance solutions that offer peace of mind and protection for your business.
What Is Non-Surgical Cosmetic Practitioner Malpractice Insurance?
Some insurers also refer to malpractice insurance as aesthetics insurance or cosmetic insurance. This specialised form of professional indemnity cover protects practitioners in the aesthetic industry. It’s crucial for trained medical professionals who perform various non-invasive cosmetic treatments, including Botox injections, dermal fillers, chemical peels, and laser therapies.
We recognise that each practitioner’s needs are different. We arrange policies that can offer protection against potential claims of negligence, bodily injury, or unsatisfactory results that may arise from your aesthetic treatments.

Do Non-Surgical Cosmetic Practitioners Need Insurance?
The short answer is yes. While it may not always be a legal requirement, having medical malpractice insurance is essential for protecting your business, reputation, and financial well-being.
Legal Protection
In the event of a claim, malpractice insurance can cover legal costs and potential settlements. These costs can be substantial. Without insurance, you could be personally liable.
Professional Requirement
Many professional bodies and regulators, such as the NMC for nurses, require their members to have adequate cover in place.
Client Confidence
Having insurance demonstrates your commitment to professionalism and client safety. This can enhance trust in your services.
Business Continuity
A significant claim could potentially bankrupt an uninsured practitioner, whereas insurance can help keep your business operational.
Peace of Mind
Knowing you’re protected allows you to focus on your clients without worrying about potential legal issues.
