Medical spas offer clients a range of medical treatments, including Botox injections, chemical peels, liposuction, and laser hair removal. This is a growing business sector: the average revenue for a medical spa in the U.S. increased by 9% between 2017 and 2018.
All procedures come with some risk, especially since most of them require more advanced technology than the treatments offered at a typical day spa. Given the complexity of the procedures and the severity of the risks, it is important to insure your business. If a procedure goes wrong and leads to cosmetic and medical complications, then the medical spa is expected to pay for the damage. If there is a lawsuit, there is the additional burden of legal fees.
To protect your business, you need to be covered for all the eventualities. Additionally, you need to meet specific legal requirements to operate your business legally. This article covers the policies medical spas need and also gives some tips for saving money on purchasing insurance.
Several insurance companies have taken note of the industry’s growth and have combined insurance policies that cater specifically to the needs of the medical spa industry, calling it the medical spa insurance. Many procedures at medical spas are invasive and can cause injuries or people might sue the company if they are not happy with the results – medical spa insurance accounts for those risks.
Medical spas aim to deliver the best quality care and provide services that improve the appearance and health of their patients. Needles and drugs, chemicals, and machinery pose a range of different risks.

Insurance gives you peace of mind when you know that your livelihood is not at risk when a mistake or accident happens.
