For the best treatment results and to maintain your reputation, ensure you’re obtaining products from reliable sources. Here are some essential practices:

2. Always conduct a one-on-one consultation between your customer and the prescriber for any procedure involving Prescription Only Medicines.

Tips for Success in Aesthetics
Here are three essential tips to set yourself up for success:
1. Invest in Aesthetic Insurance
Protect your practice and reputation with comprehensive coverage. From malpractice to public liability, insurance ensures you’re prepared for unforeseen challenges, allowing you to focus on delivering exceptional service.
2. Prioritise Client Safety
Maintain a safe environment with rigorous safety protocols. Public liability insurance covers accidents at your clinic, ensuring peace of mind for both you and your clients.
3. Equip Your Practice
Customise your insurance to include equipment and staff coverage. Being prepared means you can confidently navigate the dynamic world of aesthetics without unexpected setbacks.
Understanding Medical Malpractice Liability Insurance
Medical Malpractice (Med Mal) cover is crucial for cosmetic practitioners, protecting you from claims related to your treatments. It covers legal defence costs and compensation, which can be substantial.
Avoid Losing Your Cover
To maintain your coverage, it’s critical to avoid breaching the terms of your Med Mal cover. One of the most important requirements is to notify Cosmetic Insure of any allegations of negligence or any indication that a claim might be made. This notification must occur as soon as you become aware of the potential for a claim.
When to Notify
As soon as possible after a client makes any sort of complaint or expression of dissatisfaction.
During or Immediately After Treatment: If you notice a mistake.
Corrective Treatments: If you learn that your patient is seeing another practitioner for corrections.
A patient doesn’t need to have formally complained for the need to notify to arise. Be proactive to ensure your protection!
Essential Tip
Each time you purchase or renew your Med Mal cover, thoroughly read the notification rules, usually found under the “Claims Conditions” section. For instance, you might need to inform Cosmetic Insure “as soon as practicable” of any claim. If you receive a “Letter of Claim,” you must inform them within 7 days!
By following these guidelines and securing comprehensive insurance, you can confidently embark on your aesthetics career, knowing you have the best protection for your practice, reputation, and clients. At Cosmetic Insure, we’re committed to supporting your journey every step of the way.
