From a question to a reading
Topics begin with questions about aesthetic medicine, skin, hair health and clinical decisions. We select relevant research and guidelines, considering study design, population, outcomes, follow-up and limitations. Publication in a journal or database does not replace this critical assessment.
What the source says and what the author thinks
Articles distinguish research findings from Dr. Jesús Omar Barajas Ayala’s experience and interpretation. Scientific claims include references. When only a study abstract has been consulted, that limitation is stated.
Review before publication
The author reviews the text, figures, references and medical interpretation before approving a column. Drafts are not part of the public archive. An individual study is not presented as consensus, and uncertainties remain visible. English versions receive a separate review before publication and link to the original when both are available.
Professional and commercial relationships
Dr. Barajas is the founder and medical director of Luxury Medical Spa, which provides aesthetic medicine and hair health services. Each column discloses relationships relevant to its subject. Any sponsorship or commercial collaboration must be expressly identified.
Assistance from artificial intelligence
AI may help locate references, organize notes or edit wording. It does not replace reading the sources or the author’s review. When used in preparing a column, its contribution will be described. Clinical experience is never attributed to AI, and references are checked before publication.
Updates and corrections
Articles display their publication date. Substantial revisions include an update date and a note explaining the changes. If you find an error, contact the clinic with the title, the passage and, if available, a source for comparison.
Images and privacy
We use our own or authorized images and identify their credits. Identifiable patient information is not published without consent. An illustrative image does not demonstrate treatment effectiveness.
The scope of this information
The journal provides medical education and reflection. Individual assessment, diagnosis and recommendations require an understanding of each person’s circumstances.
