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 botulinum toxin by substance class and does not name a brand product, does not quote prices, does not quote dosages, and does not claim that an unwanted effect will be corrected or that its duration can be shortened. It states the limits and the alternatives, and it names the physician responsible for the medical content.

Honesty requirements for this subject

Because nothing reverses the effect, this site states plainly that an unwanted result is managed by time, states that the effect arrives gradually and is judged at about two weeks, and states the rare systemic findings wherever they are relevant rather than leaving them to a footnote. It does not present a corrective treatment as a remedy for a result that time would resolve on its own.
