What Our UKCA Medical Device Registration Really Means For You

AI has become the latest buzzword in skincare. From “smart” formulas to “AI-powered” recommendations, it’s easy to assume every brand using the term is offering the same thing. But the truth is, all AIs are not the same - and in skincare, the difference can be huge for your safety and results.

In this blog, we’ll break down what MiQuest’s AI’s UKCA medical device registration actually means, why it’s such a critical safeguard when AI is involved, and how it separates true medical-grade personalisation from clever marketing.  

What is the UKCA Medical Device Registration?  

The UKCA medical device registration means our AI meets the UK’s medical device regulations for safety, quality, and performance. This classification confirms that the technology is suitable for use in healthcare settings and has undergone rigorous internal assessments in line with the UK Medical Device Regulations (UK MDR 2002).  

In plain terms, it’s the government’s way of saying “This does what it says it will do – safely.” For skincare AI, that means every process and every prescription is backed by verified medical standards.  

Why the UKCA Medical Device Registration Matters in Skincare AI  

Many so-called “AI skincare” brands aren’t regulated as medical devices at all. They might ask you a handful of questions, just to then recommend an off-the-shelf formula. While the branding may be sleek, there’s no legal requirement for them to meet medical safety standards.

MiQuest is different. Our in-house advanced AI technology is officially classified and registered as. UKCA medical device I, which means it works within a regulated medical framework. Our AI doesn’t replace our medical experts – it supports them, helping our expert dermatology prescribers, pharmacists, and scientists create the safest, most personalised and effective prescription skincare for you.
