Cosmetic botox, dermal fillers, chemical peels and laser hair removal are not CQC-regulated activities. Thread lifts always are, whoever performs them. The trap: botulinum toxin for medical purposes such as hyperhidrosis, bruxism or migraine is treatment of disease, which is regulated. Adding one medical indication can change your whole registration position.
The line is purpose, not product. The same toxin in the same syringe is unregulated for frown lines and regulated for sweating, because treating disease is a regulated activity and cosmetic improvement is not. Practitioners bolt on hyperhidrosis work for the revenue without noticing they have crossed it.
The in-scope list, what registration involves if you need it, and how England’s coming licensing scheme interacts with CQC’s role, are in CQC and your clinic. When in doubt, get regulatory advice before the first medical-purpose patient, not after.
