The hospital

This site is published by Chongqing West District Hospital, a tertiary general hospital at 301 Huafu Avenue North Section, Jiulongpo District, Chongqing. Every reference to the hospital on this site means that institution.

Advertising and claims

This site names no brand and no manufacturer of any product, quotes no prices, and makes no claim that any preparation rejuvenates, renews or lifts. It does not promise an outcome, does not offer an assessment, and carries no booking pressure of any kind. Every claim is attributed to the kind of evidence behind it, and regulatory status is reported as a separate question from benefit. Where a claim is not supported, it is named and marked rather than softened.

Honesty requirements for this subject

Because this field is sold on a borrowed word, this site states plainly which uses are established medicine and which products are not, states that a fat graft is a tissue transfer and a plant extract is a cosmetic, states that most cosmetic cell products hold no approval for injection, and states what has been reported about their harms. It does not use the plausibility of a mechanism as a reason to reassure, and it does not describe an unapproved product as a smaller version of an approved treatment.

Reviewer and review cycle

Ke He, MD, Deputy Director and Head of Skin & Laser Aesthetics, is the medical reviewer for this site. Content is reviewed at publication and on a short cycle, because products and claims arrive faster than the evidence about them accumulates, and the date of the most recent review is shown on every page.
