Medical Spa Insurance
What Is Medical Spa Insurance?
Medical spas (medspas) offer advanced aesthetic treatments that combine traditional spa services with medical-grade procedures. These services come with increased risks, including patient injuries, adverse reactions to treatments, and malpractice claims.
Medical Spa Insurance provides specialized coverage to protect medspa owners from financial losses due to liability claims, equipment damage, employee injuries, and business interruptions.

- Medical spas offering cosmetic and dermatological treatments
- Clinics providing Botox, fillers, and other injectables
- Laser hair removal and skin treatment centers
- Non-surgical weight loss and body contouring clinics
- IV therapy and wellness centers offering medical-grade services
Key Insurance Policies for Medical Spas
General Liability Insurance: Covers third-party injuries (e.g., slip-and-falls in the clinic) and property damage claims.
Professional Liability (Medical Malpractice) Insurance: Essential for protecting medspa providers against claims of negligence, improper treatment, or botched procedures.
Commercial Property Insurance: Covers expensive medical-grade equipment, treatment rooms, and office space against fire, theft, and other damage.
Workers’ Compensation Insurance: Required if you have employees, covering work-related injuries such as repetitive motion strain or needlestick injuries.
Product Liability Insurance: Protects against claims from adverse reactions to skincare products, injectables, or medical devices used in treatments.
Cyber Liability Insurance: Safeguards patient medical records and financial information against data breaches or cyberattacks.
Business Interruption Insurance: Covers lost income if the medspa must temporarily close due to property damage or equipment failure.
