DIAGNOSIS BEFORE DEVICE
Choose by concern and anatomy, not a trending name
A non-surgical consultation should identify the concern, examine facial anatomy or skin condition, review prior treatments, allergies, medication and relevant medical history, and explain whether the requested product or device is appropriate.
Ask for the exact licensed product or authentic device, the clinician responsible, realistic degree and duration of change, important risks, aftercare and a clear plan for urgent contact and follow-up.

FAQ
Medical aesthetics in Shanghai
Are Botox and botulinum toxin the same search topic?
Botox is a brand name often used conversationally for botulinum-toxin treatment. Product authorization and availability vary. Ask which licensed product is proposed, its intended use, dose plan, risks and the qualifications of the injector.
Can dermal filler dissolve completely?
Some hyaluronic-acid fillers may be treated with an enzyme, but this is not a simple guarantee and other filler types differ. Product identity, anatomy, vascular risk and emergency protocols matter.
What is Ultherapy?
Ultherapy is a brand associated with microfocused ultrasound. Device authenticity, indication, operator training, settings, discomfort, risks and expected degree of change should be discussed. Other ultrasound or energy-device names are not automatically equivalent.
Are skin boosters, IPL and lasers interchangeable?
No. They use different products or energy types and may target different concerns. Skin type, diagnosis, pigmentation risk, medications and sun exposure can change suitability.
Can an international visitor have treatment immediately after online contact?
Online coordination does not confirm suitability. Allow time for in-person assessment, product or device confirmation, consent, treatment when appropriate and access to early follow-up.
This page does not confirm that a named brand, product, device or indication is available or suitable. Availability and regulatory status can change. The treating clinician must verify the exact product or device, assess the patient and obtain informed consent.
