Insurance is a must for any responsible practitioner, but it is important to note that different insurers offer varying levels of cover for non-medics - aesthetic practitioners without a medical background or training. For example, leading cosmetic insurance provider, Hamilton Fraser, can insure non-medics to carry out specific treatments subject to training requirements, but does not insure non-medics such as beauty therapists or dental nurses for injectable treatments, and can only provide cover for dermal filler for qualified healthcare professionals within their medical malpractice insurance policy.
Non medics may not have the necessary qualifications or medical training to carry out certain treatments safely. While they might appear credible due to having insurance, the risks associated with being treated by someone without adequate training can be significant.
