What insurance do I need for laser hair removal?
You need treatment-risk and public liability cover that specifically names laser or IPL hair removal, the machine class and its wavelengths. Insurers typically require documented core-of-knowledge safety training, machine-specific training, patch-test protocols and current servicing records before cover applies.

What insurers ask for
Expect questions about operator qualifications, the exact machine and wavelengths, whether the machine is static or transported, your patch-test and consultation protocol, and your servicing schedule. Answer them accurately: cover written on inaccurate answers is cover that fails when it is needed.
Common gaps
Mobile use excluded unless declared. New wavelengths added by an upgrade but never notified. Lapsed annual servicing. A second operator trained after the policy was written. Any of these can invalidate a claim, and all four are avoidable with a diary reminder.
