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 of product or device, quotes no prices, and makes no claim that a programme of several treatments is more effective than a single one. 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 outcome.

Honesty requirements for this subject

Because a programme is easier to describe than to justify, this site states which claims are supported and which are not, states that more modalities do not produce more, and reports the sequence as a clinical plan rather than as an approved entity. It does not use the weakness of the evidence as an argument against sequencing.

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 the vocabulary around treatment programmes changes faster than the evidence does, and the date of the most recent review is shown on every page.
