What this site is for

It exists to separate what is established about sequencing treatments from what is claimed, and to grade each honestly rather than presenting the strategy as settled. That is why every claim is placed in one of four groups, why the sequence is reported as a clinical plan rather than a regulated entity, and why the difference between sequencing and combining in one episode is stated rather than assumed.

What it deliberately does not do

It does not recommend for or against any programme, and it does not invite a reader toward an assessment or a consultation. It is not a booking page and it offers no service in relation to anything it describes. It does not name brands of products or devices, does not quote prices, and does not present a sequenced plan as the thorough choice or as the unnecessary one on the strength of a marketing sentence.

The facts kept visible

Three facts are repeated wherever they are relevant. Sequencing separates treatments in time, which is not the same thing as combining them in one episode. Each component is approved on its own indication and no regulator approves a programme. And the advantage a sequence has over a combination is that each step informs the next, which is lost if the plan is fixed in advance.

How the content is reviewed and corrected

Ke He, MD, Deputy Director and Head of Skin & Laser Aesthetics, is the responsible physician. This subject moves faster in its marketing than in its evidence, so the review is dated and revisited on a short cycle rather than treated as a settled text. If you find something unclear, out of date or wrong, the contact page explains how to tell us, and the correction is made to the page itself.
