Three evidence labels
| Label | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Source-linked guidance | A source is linked for you to read in full. This is not a claim of completed clinical review. |
| Public-page checked | A commercial fact was observed on a dated public page. It still needs checking for current availability. |
| Provider-confirmed | A named provider supplied written confirmation of specified details on a recorded date. |
How we weigh sources
We use regulatory safety notices for reported risks, medical guidance for explanations, and studies for the particular devices and outcomes they tested. We check publication dates, study design, comparison groups and commercial ties. Several pages that cite the same research provide overlapping support. Cleveland Clinic’s RF article cites AAD, so those links do not count as two independent studies.
What “verified” will mean
For an offer, verification covers price, availability and conditions. It does not endorse effectiveness. Each future record should show the source, date, price unit, tax basis, inclusions and unknown fields.
Health content and review
This edition contains service explanations, consumer questions and source-linked summaries. Clinical review has not been completed. We will name a reviewer only after they review that specific version. Treatment recommendations and personalised suitability assessments are outside this publication’s scope.
Commercial relationships
This edition has no active paid placements, affiliate booking links or provider enquiry routing. Any future sponsorship must be disclosed beside the relevant placement. Healthcare promotions require review of the actual service and authorisation, separately from clinical accuracy.
Images and reporting
The homepage still life is an AI-generated conceptual illustration. It shows no treatment, device, patient or outcome. We do not present fictional experiences as reporting. Public-source checks, provider responses and original research will be labelled distinctly.
