Specialties
We open a specialty only when a licensed doctor has agreed to review it and keep reviewing it. An empty specialty is better than an unreviewed one.

Treating melasma: what the evidence supports, and what is only promised
Melasma is a multifactorial pigment disorder. If sun protection is not right, almost everything applied on top is neutralised.
Liposuction is not a weight-loss method
Liposuction addresses localised fat. Loose skin and separated abdominal muscles are different problems it does not solve.
