Credential review
Confirm the author or reviewer’s stated professional role, license type, jurisdiction, and current status before any verified mark is shown.
Editorial Standards
Trust is built in the details readers can inspect.
Every professional contribution should make its authorship, evidence basis, practice status, scope limits, commercial relationships, privacy safeguards, and revision history visible.
Review sequence
Editorial review is not medical peer review.
The Institute uses precise language for the process it can document.
Scope-of-practice review
Screen for diagnosis, medical treatment recommendations, medication advice, and procedures that may exceed the author’s professional authority.
Editorial review
Check clarity, terminology, completeness, content labeling, and separation of observation from evidence.
Reference verification
Confirm that cited sources exist and support the claims attributed to them.
Privacy review
Remove identifying information and verify permission when it is required for educational material or images.
Conflict-of-interest review
Disclose product, manufacturer, financial, affiliate, employment, and Institute relationships.
Evidence standard
Readers should know what kind of information they are reading.
Scientific Evidence
Published research or authoritative professional guidance, cited and represented within its limits.
Institute-Developed Education
Educational frameworks and resources developed by the Institute and identified as such.
Practice-Based Experience
Documented professional experience that is not presented as established scientific evidence.
Product transparency
Protocol use is not automatic Institute endorsement.
Product names may appear when necessary to document a real professional protocol. Manufacturer claims are identified as claims, not evidence. Contributors disclose financial, affiliate, employment, gift, and manufacturer relationships.
Product references reflect the contributor’s professional protocol and do not necessarily constitute endorsement by H&G Advanced Skin Institute.
Version control
Published work should show its history.

Corrections and updates
No silent changes to substantive professional content.
A substantive change to a protocol, case interpretation, reference, scope statement, or disclosure should create a new review date and version. Material errors should be corrected transparently. Removed content should not remain available as current guidance.
Professional protocols evolve; a revision history makes that evolution visible.
