Aesthetics Clinic opened by RN's

[Foxfour]

Today in the Sun paper (TX), I saw an ad seeking clients for an aesthetics clinic that just opened. I have also seen television commericals for them. There is no MD's name anywhere on the ad. My question is how--how do you open a clinic like this without an MD? They offer services such as botox inj, laser hair removal, acne scar tx., microdermabrasion, varicose vein tx., skin tag removal, non-surgical wrinkle reduction and mesotherapy (not sure what that is). They both have a BSN. I wish them all the luck. I'm just not sure how they did it. Anybody else know the answer?

Hi. I have started my own business in the last year. I do micropigmentation and have Liability Insurance for that specifically. Recently, I have gotten certified in Botox and Dermal fillers. I have a medical director waiting to join me. I was going to switch my NSO liability from an individual policy to my business name( they have a firm policy). When I mentioned that I was looking into incorporating aesthetics into my business...they said that they do not cover self employeed nurses who do anything cosmetic. I then said OK forget the firm ploicy then and just renew my individual policy ( which I have had since 1989), I will look for liability for my business elsewhere. Guess what? They will NOT renew my individual policy either ( which I want for my perdiem nsg), they said they will not even give me that policy back, since Ialso have my own business. I even sent them a copy of my micropigmentation liability and vowed to send them a copy of whoever I'll use for the BOTOX/Fillers. NO GO! Anyone know where I can get any liability, individual or a firm policy???

Thanks

try marineagency.com I use them for my perm. makeup, microderm and laser. They now offer botox and filler insurance

Thanks for responding. I have Marine for Permanent makeup, and I have an application for the Botox/Fillers, but do I still need liability for when I work per diem in the hospital or in schools (substituting)? I can't find someone to insure me now that NSO dropped me.

I'm an RN with a love for skin care. My goal is to open a spa. In order to do this, do I need to get an aesthetician license, or are there advanced courses which would allow me to do so?
