There’s no doubt technology has brought us a long way from the necessity of brick and mortar establishments to sell our goods and services. Not just food trucks, but just about everything is conveniently on wheels nowadays. The medical beauty industry is no stranger to making things more and more convenient for consumers especially with the new popularity of the Mobile Medispa. Now a botox treatment is a click away thanks to smartphones and the apps that connect us all.
These Mobile Medispas are making it that much easier to receive treatments in the comfort of a client’s own home, designed to bring the expertise of skin care professionals directly to clients’ homes. This concept was developed to target busy clients who find it difficult to take time out to get away for personal time and solitude at a spa appointment.
The convenience of a door to door oasis makes for a wonderful experience but do these Mobile Med Spas need medical malpractice insurance?
If your mobile Medispa offers procedures like Botox, Laser Treatments, Chemical Peels, etc. then it must be performed by a Doctor of Medicine (MD) or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO), or a Registered Nurse (RN), Nurse Practitioner (NP), Physician Assistant (PA) under the supervision of a physician/medical director depending upon your states’ rules. On the other hand, procedures like facials, glycolic peels, electrolysis, etc. can be performed by licensed aestheticians. Learn more about Med Spa Malpractice Insurance so you can make an informed decision for your medical spa business.
In addition to the licensing requirements by the professionals conducting these procedures it must be noted that many of the physician and nurse liability policies do not cover Medispa procedures.
Mobile Med Spas are unique in that they not only innovate in medical beauty services but they entice customers with the specific convenience in bringing everything right to their homes. Should anything go wrong after these procedures it’s best to make sure you are covered beyond the liability coverage on the business itself so that you don’t leave anything to chance.
