Body Contouring Insurance

Body contouring is a noninvasive procedure that reduces stubborn pockets of fat, shapes and tones the body, and tightens loose skin.

Like all advanced esthetic procedures, each state has its own rules and regulations as to whether an esthetician can perform body contouring procedures such as cryolipolysis or noninvasive ultrasound. In most states, the use of body contouring devices is unclear and may require medical director oversight. Check with your state board before performing these procedures and be sure you have the proper training.

For information on scope of practice by state, ASCP members can go to the Advanced Esthetics State Regulation Info page.

There are many devices on the market today targeting body fat, cellulite, and sagging skin. They all provide a similar function—target and destroy fat cells, flush the lymphatic system, and stimulate collagen production. Temperature-based fat reduction procedures include cryolipolysis or thermal shock. Skin tightening and cellulite reduction devices include the use of radio frequency or ultrasound.

Whether you are performing cryolipolysis, ultrasound cavitation, or radio frequency, to name a few, ASCP’s body contouring insurance protects you if a client sues. Indicate all the body contouring procedures you are performing to make sure you are covered.

Need coverage for other advanced esthetic modalities? We’ve got you covered. Procedures such as permanent makeup, microblading, or microneedling can be added to your body contouring insurance for as little as $100. Indicate all the procedures you are performing on your application to be sure you’re covered.

Body contouring devices should be FDA-approved professional devices for the intended use of fat reduction, skin tightening, and/or cellulite reduction. Home devices are marketed to the consumer, but may not be as effective and leave room for accidents to occur or poor treatment outcomes.
