Microneedling Insurance

The best microneedling insurance policies will provide essential coverage for the liabilities that can present themselves in the normal course of business to beauty professionals. General liability, also referred to as slip and fall insurance, covers members from a loss event occurring simply from having a customer enter your premises. As the moniker implies, a simple puddle of water on the floor which causes a client to slip and fall can give rise to a claim. In this case, the member would be covered up to $2 Million per occurrence and $3 Million aggregately per year. Professional Liability claims are also called malpractice claims because they occur while you’re performing your discipline’s service. An example would be if a client became injured or developed an infection after receiving a microneedling treatment. In this case, your professional liability limits would cover the claim up to the same limits as your general liability coverage.

But we don’t stop there, in addition to the comprehensive coverages listed, members also receive identity theft protection, a free professional website, and access to members-only discounts on top of gear and accessories perfect for beauty professionals. It’s always good to be informed and we invite you to compare us to the competition. Once you discover how EBS compares, you’ll know why we are voted number one for beauty insurance.

As a beauty pro who provides microneedling services, you are responsible for the health and welfare of your clients. Your education and experience enables you to offer your clients excellent services. But you have a responsibility to protect your most precious asset—your career. Let’s face it: Accidents happen. But you can be prepared for the unexpected.

Professional Liability Insurance is a form of risk management in which the insured beauty professional can be protected and relieved of the financial responsibility of a potential loss.

What does that mean?
It is designed to protect beauty professionals from claims arising outside of their direct professional skills.

Estheticians generally focus their practice on skin care and the variety of treatments and regimens associated therein. Comparatively, beauticians, or cosmetologists, tend to focus on hair, nails, and the application of make-up. However, there are many examples of estheticians that perform certain cosmetology treatments within their practice and vice versa. In fact, some states will allow one license to cover both disciplines, but be sure to check with your State Board for details. Elite Beauty Society’s liability insurance policy covers esthetics, as well as, more than 500+ additional beauty and wellness services, including cosmetology, microblading, nail technician, and even salon insurance.

Both terms refer to licensed skincare professionals, but aestheticians may have advanced training in medical-grade treatments and technologies. Aesthetician is often used interchangeably with esthetician.
