After listening to your feedback, we’re proud to introduce our new policy extension that offers cover for menopause-related advice, including consultations, prescriptions, and more. This is a completely optional add on but is designed to support practitioners offering menopause-related services, including consultations, prescriptions, and HRT advice.
Menopause is a natural phase in a woman's life, often accompanied by various physiological changes that can impact both well-being and appearance. Recognising the increasing demand for comprehensive care during this transition, aesthetic practitioners are uniquely positioned to offer support and treatments tailored to menopausal concerns.
Aesthetic clinics are evolving to address not only cosmetic desires but also holistic wellness needs. Practitioners often build long-term relationships with their patients, placing them in an ideal position to identify menopausal symptoms and guide patients toward appropriate care. For instance, by recognising early signs of menopause, practitioners can tailor skincare regimes to alleviate symptoms effectively. This approach not only enhances patient trust but also broadens the scope of services offered by the clinic.
Incorporating menopause-focused services can significantly benefit both patients and clinics. Women in their 40s and 50s, a demographic already engaged with aesthetic treatments, often seek solutions for menopause-related concerns. By offering treatments such as hormone replacement therapy (HRT), skin rejuvenation, intimate health procedures and wellness support, clinics can address these specific needs, fostering patient loyalty and attracting a broader clientele.
Expanding into menopause care requires adherence to regulatory standards and safeguarding protocols. It is always important to work within your scope of practice. Treatments like HRT and intimate health procedures may necessitate Care Quality Commission (CQC) registration. Additionally, comprehensive insurance coverage is essential to protect both practitioners and patients. Hamilton Fraser offers tailored insurance policies for menopause-related consultations and advice, making sure that practitioners can confidently expand their services while mitigating potential risks. For more on this topic, see our section on menopause in our empowering women in aesthetics guide and our guide to the business case for adding menopause services to your aesthetics clinic.
With almost 30 years of experience, Hamilton Fraser is a leading provider of cosmetic insurance services. Our partnerships with organisations like Menopause in Practice (MiP) underscore our dedication to enhancing standards in menopause care within aesthetics. Through collaborative events and initiatives, we aim to support practitioners in delivering safe, effective, and comprehensive menopause services.
Integrating menopause care into aesthetic practices not only addresses an underserved area of women's health but also presents a valuable opportunity for clinics to expand their services. By focusing on holistic wellness and adhering to regulatory and safeguarding standards, practitioners can significantly enhance patient satisfaction and clinic growth. Hamilton Fraser remains committed to supporting aesthetic professionals in this evolving landscape, providing the necessary resources and insurance solutions to navigate this rewarding expansion.

Menopause brings significant hormonal changes that affect the skin, body, and overall well-being. Many women experience symptoms such as dryness, acne, loss of elasticity, weight fluctuations, and intimate health concerns.
