About This Skin Booster Guide

What this site is for

This site exists to help you decide. It is written for someone whose skin is healthy but dry, dull or finely lined, who is trying to work out whether a course of injectable skin-quality treatment is worth the time and the money, how long the change lasts, and when the honest answer is a different treatment. It is not a catalogue of products and it does not try to teach the medicine: what these substances do in the dermis and how the families differ are covered by the injectables service and by Dr. He’s own clinical site.

How it is written and reviewed

Each guide is drafted by the patient-education team from published specialty guidance and then medically reviewed by Ke He, MD, Deputy Director and head of skin and laser aesthetics at Chongqing West District Hospital. Every page carries the reviewer’s name and a review date, and content is scheduled for review at least once a year.

What it deliberately leaves out

There are no prices here and no packages, because a cost quoted before an assessment is a number that will change. There are no brand names of products and no units or volumes, because a dose belongs to a patient and not to a web page. There are no before-and-after images, because an image selected to persuade is not evidence about your skin, and no testimonials, because an individual experience is not a prediction of yours.

What it cannot do

It cannot tell you what is right for your skin. Whether the complaint is hydration, texture, pigment, volume or laxity; how your skin barrier would tolerate a course; how many sessions your skin would need; and whether an injection is appropriate for you — all of that requires an examination that can only be done in person. Nothing here is a diagnosis, a treatment plan or a guarantee.

Corrections

If you find something on this site that is wrong, unclear or out of date, the hospital’s patient-education team would rather hear about it than not. Corrections are made through the contact page and the review date on the affected page is updated when a substantive change is made.
