What this site is for
It exists for one purpose: to let a patient tell an ordinary reaction from one that needs care, and to make the most urgent of those unmistakable. That is why the emergency routing sits above every explanation on this page, and why the actions are written to be read in seconds rather than studied.
What it deliberately does not do
It does not name brands of drugs, devices or filler products: substances are described by class only. It does not quote prices or dosages, and it does not promise that a complication can be reversed or that its consequences can be undone. It does not publish an emergency telephone number, a room number or a set of opening hours of its own, because a number printed on a website can be wrong at the moment it is needed most.
The facts kept visible
Three facts are repeated wherever they are relevant. Vascular occlusion is a time-critical emergency that can cause skin loss and, rarely, vision loss, and the outcome depends on how fast it is recognised. Every filler result is temporary and maintenance is required. And over-treatment is harder to correct than under-treatment, which is why corrective work is staged rather than completed in one session.
How the content is reviewed and corrected
Ke He, MD, Deputy Director and Head of Skin & Laser Aesthetics, is the responsible physician. Every guide is reviewed against her clinical judgement before publication and reviewed again on a six-month cycle. If you find something unclear, out of date or wrong, the contact page explains how to tell us, and corrections are made to the page itself.
