Advertising and claims
This site describes treatment by technology class and does not name a device, a manufacturer or a brand product, 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 including an operation, and it names the physician responsible for the medical content.
Honesty requirements for this area
Because the surface is left intact, this site states wherever a course is described that there is no wound and also no resurfacing effect. Because the energy is delivered near small sensory nerves, patches of numbness and tingling are described as common and their usual course is stated. Because treatment at the wrong level can affect a nerve that moves muscle, brow weakness and contour change are stated as uncommon rather than omitted. And because the change builds over months, no page presents the result as immediate.
