Tell us which claim gave you pause, or which service you want weighed against the research. Say how it was presented to you and where you met it, whether on a website, in a brochure or in a consultation. A headline number with its source attached is far easier to test than a general worry.

We read peer-reviewed studies and systematic reviews before judging any claimed benefit. Our focus is evidence quality, realistic expectations, and the fine print behind headline results, so a narrow, specific claim is the most useful thing to write down here.

When the claim concerns a med spa service, a primary source from the state is a firmer check than any sales page: what the state tells med spa clients in its consumer guidance. Read it next to the claim and note where the two disagree.

Whether a treatment suits your own body is a judgment for the clinician treating you, in person.

SoHo readers who want background on the health agencies for the state and the city can start with encyclopedia entries on the state health agency and the city agency for health and mental hygiene.
