Every source has a defined scope

Facility licences, practitioner registration, service-specific registers, accreditation, prices and reviews answer different questions. We show source links and limits alongside the information they support.

How sources are labelled

  • Regulatory authorities: support only the registration, licence or oversight details stated in the relevant record.
  • Accreditation bodies: support only the named organization, site, scope and validity period listed by that body.
  • Providers and third-party platforms: are labelled as provider-reported or platform information, not as independent verification.
  • Research, guidance and media: are cited with their publisher, date and applicable scope; conclusions are not extended beyond the source.

What we match for a provider profile

Where a matching is marked complete, we compare the local legal or directory name, site address and any available identifier. A brand, group or similar name alone is not enough to treat two records as the same entity. A missing result does not automatically mean a provider is unlicensed; the search name, jurisdiction or database scope may differ.

The directory currently contains 27 profiles: 23 matched to a corresponding public record and 4 still pending an individual facility match. The status is shown on each profile. Provider-published service pages are not proof of current inventory, appointment availability, practitioner credentials or outcomes. Open the provider profiles and official registers.

Prices and currency conversion

A price example retains its original currency, source and date. The production site checks its exchange-rate source daily at 02:00 China Standard Time; the displayed data date is the date supplied by that source. Weekends and public holidays may use the latest available market date. Conversion does not supply missing costs such as clinician fees, tax, materials, anaesthesia, follow-up or travel.

What this site does not provide

Beauty Circle does not currently diagnose, prescribe a treatment plan, recommend providers, book appointments or process payments. These pages have not received clinical review and do not rank treatment outcomes, provider quality or practitioners.

The directory organizes official search links for 9 destination groups. A facility licence, provider directory, international-patient registration and practitioner register are not interchangeable. Profiles without an individual record match are labelled as pending; that status is not a conclusion about compliance.

Updates and corrections

Content is compiled by the Beauty Circle project team and displays a source-check date. There is no independent clinical review at this time. Health-related judgments should not be added without suitable clinical sources and documented review responsibility.

If a source link fails, an entity match appears wrong or a record has changed, the current site does not yet have an online correction form.
