Falcon Medical Aesthetic Clinic is an independent aesthetic service located in Purley, south west London. The clinic provides a wide range of cosmetic treatments, most of which are not within the Care Quality Commission (CQC) scope of registration.
This clinic is registered with CQC under the Health and Social Care Act 2008 in respect of some, but not all, of the services it provides. There are some exemptions from regulation by CQC which relate to particular types of regulated activities and services, and these are set out in Schedule 1 and Schedule 2 of The Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014.
We did not inspect, or report on, those services that are outside the scope of registration. Therefore, we only inspected the provision of treatments relating to the treatment of migraines (with Botox), treatment for excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), and non-surgical thread lifts.
This was the first inspection of this service since registration in June 2021.
We assessed all quality statements across the safe, effective, caring, responsive and well led key questions. The overall rating following this inspection is ‘Good’. At this inspection we found:

Patients were involved in all decisions and at all stages of their treatment in assessments of their needs. Treatment was based on latest evidence and good practice. Staff worked with other agencies for the best outcomes and smooth transitions when appropriate. Staff made sure people understood their care and treatment to enable them to give informed consent.
Patients were treated with kindness and compassion. Staff protected their privacy and dignity. The clinic supported the wellbeing of their staff.
Patients were involved in decisions about their care. The clinic provided information that people could understand. Staff prioritised patient convenience in appointment times.
The governance arrangements were generally appropriate to the range of services provided and the small team delivering them. The service leadership had the capacity and skills to deliver high-quality, sustainable care. They were knowledgeable about issues and priorities relating to the quality and future of services, including changes within the medical aesthetic sector.
