Editorial Standards

Source policy

Primary sources first

Every regulatory, legal and medical claim in our articles is linked to a primary official source: a federal agency, a state board or authority, or published legislation. We do not rely on secondary summaries when the original is accessible.

Secondary sources (industry reports, academic papers, reputable news) may be referenced for context, but no material claim depends on them alone.

Jurisdiction

State claims stay state-specific

The US medical-aesthetics market is regulated state by state. We do not extrapolate one state's rules across the country. When an article uses California, Texas or Florida as examples, that is all they are — examples. They are not templates for other states.

Independence

No paid verdicts

MedspaGuide does not accept payment for editorial coverage, rankings, reviews or safety determinations. Any future commercial service (directory listing, sponsorship, advertising) will be structurally separated from editorial content and clearly labelled.

No clinic has paid or will pay for inclusion in our analysis. No clinic can buy a favourable conclusion.

Limitations

What we do not do

• We do not certify, recommend or endorse any clinic, provider, product or treatment.
