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, and the treating team practises within it.

Advertising and claims

This site describes energy-based treatment by technology class and does not name a brand, a device or a manufacturer, does not quote prices, does not quote dosages or energy settings, and does not claim that treatment produces a particular result. It states risks, limits and alternatives, including doing nothing, and it names the physician responsible for the medical content.

Honesty requirements for this area

Because energy-based tightening is widely offered for changes it does not reach, this site states the ceiling of the treatment wherever a result is described, and states plainly that tightening is not lifting and that nothing delivered through the surface removes skin. Because fat loss beneath the skin is the hardest complication to correct, it is named as the principal risk wherever the risks are set out.
