Editorial Policy of Doctor Medica

The team at Doctor Medica maintains a comprehensive product catalogue supported by clinical guidance, regulatory information, and educational content related to the medical devices and products we distribute. We sell dermal fillers, orthopedic injections, fat removal, body sculpting and mesotherapy products, with accurate and up-to-date information on their medical approval, administration procedures, clinical implications and manufacturer documentation.

More specifically, we share industry news and highly researched, medically accurate content across our product pages, category pages, and blog articles. Much of this content makes clinical claims, references regulatory guidance, or presents product specifications that licensed medical and aesthetic professionals rely on when making purchasing decisions. As such, our content undergoes a structured editorial process designed to uphold a high standard of quality.

This page describes how our content is produced, reviewed, and maintained — and what steps we take to ensure accuracy, transparency, and compliance that is expected of a website operating within the health and medical space.

Scope of This Policy

This editorial policy applies to all substantive written content published on this website, including:

• Product pages
• Brand and manufacturer category pages
• Product category pages
• Blog articles, clinical guides, and educational content
• Any page featuring clinical claims, regulatory information, dosage references, or product specifications

The editorial policy does not apply to transactional elements such as checkout flows, account management pages, or user-generated content.

Who creates content for Doctor Medica

Content on this website is produced by a team of freelance medical writers with backgrounds in life sciences, pharmacy, nursing, and clinical research. Writers are selected based on their demonstrated ability to interpret scientific literature, follow regulatory guidance, and communicate accurately to a professional medical audience.

Writers are briefed on each piece of content before beginning work. Briefs specify the topic, clinical scope, required source types, context for internal connection to other pages on our website, and any regulatory or commercial language constraints specific to the product category.

Our writers do not publish under personal bylines. Their qualifications are verified internally as part of the onboarding process.

Doctor Medica’s editorial process

Every piece of content published on this website follows a structured production and review process before it goes live.

Step 1: briefing

The editorial team prepares a detailed content brief for each page or article. The brief defines the clinical topic, the intended audience (licensed medical professionals), key claims to address, acceptable source types, and any internal connections to other pages on Doctor Medica.

Step 2: research and drafting

Writers research the topic using peer-reviewed literature, official regulatory documentation, and manufacturer-published specifications. Sources are identified and recorded during the drafting process, not added retrospectively.

Step 3: citation verification

Each claim that references clinical data, regulatory approval, or product specifications must be supported by a cited source. Writers verify citations against the original source documents. Sources may be identified through databases and search platforms such as PubMed and Google Scholar, while original evidence is obtained from peer-reviewed publications, regulatory documentation from the FDA and CMS, and manufacturer materials.

Where relevant, writers also reference published guidelines from professional bodies such as the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), and the American Med Spa Association (AmSpa). Paraphrased claims are cross-checked against source text for accuracy.

Step 4: editorial review and fact-checking

A dedicated editor reviews every draft before publication. The editor’s role is to verify that:

• All clinical claims are supported by the cited sources
• Regulatory statements accurately reflect current approval status
• Product specifications match manufacturer documentation
• Language meets the accuracy standards expected for a professional medical audience
• No claims exceed what the cited evidence supports

The editor may return content to the writer for revision, request additional sources, or escalate queries involving ambiguous regulatory status or conflicting clinical data.

Step 5: publication

The content is ready for publishing only after all editorial remarks are properly addressed. The publication date and, where applicable, the last updated date are recorded and displayed on industry news, blog articles, and clinical guides.

Sources and evidence standards

We apply a source hierarchy when evaluating evidence for clinical and regulatory claims:

Primary sources (preferred): Peer-reviewed journal articles indexed in PubMed or equivalent databases; systematic reviews and meta-analyses; clinical trial registries.

Regulatory documentation: Official prescribing information, Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC), product monographs, and public assessment reports published by the FDA, EMA, or equivalent authorities.

Manufacturer documentation: Product datasheets, instructions for use (IFUs), and technical specifications published by the originating manufacturer.

Secondary sources (supplementary only): Clinical guidelines published by recognized professional bodies (e.g., AAD, ISAPS, EADV). Used to contextualize claims, not as standalone evidence for primary clinical statements.

Medical and regulatory accuracy

Doctor medica sells exclusively to licensed medical and aesthetic professionals. Our content is written for this audience and reflects the clinical and regulatory context in which these products are used.

We do not publish content intended to guide personal medical decisions by end consumers. All clinical information presented on this site is framed within the context of professional medical use, consistent with the approved indications and regulatory status of each product. Appropriate disclaimers are displayed on every page where such content is presented.

Where a product’s regulatory approval status varies by jurisdiction, we note this where material. We do not represent unapproved indications as approved.

Content review and updates

Published content is reviewed on a rolling basis. Triggers for review include:

• Changes to a product’s regulatory approval status or prescribing information
• Publication of significant new clinical evidence that materially affects existing claims
• Manufacturer updates to product specifications or IFUs
• Corrections requested via our editorial contact process (see below)
• Scheduled periodic reviews, conducted annually for high-traffic pages

When substantive changes are made to a published page, the updated date is revised accordingly. Minor edits (typographic corrections, formatting changes) do not trigger a date update.

Corrections policy

We are committed to correcting factual errors promptly and transparently. If you believe any content on this website contains an inaccuracy — including a clinical claim, regulatory statement, or product specification — we ask that you contact our editorial team directly.

Editorial contact email:

editorial@doctormedica.co

Please include in your message: the URL of the page in question, the specific claim you believe to be inaccurate, and, where possible, a reference to a source supporting the correction.

We will acknowledge correction requests within 7 business days and complete our review within 15 business days of receipt. Where a correction is confirmed, the relevant content will be updated and the page’s modified date will be revised. If we determine the original content was accurate, we will respond explaining our position.

We do not alter content in response to commercial pressure or requests from product manufacturers, distributors, or third parties with a financial interest in the outcome.

Editorial independence

Doctor Medica is a procurement platform that has served thousands of licensed practitioners and small clinics throughout the years. Our content exists to help qualified medical professionals understand the products we carry and make informed purchasing decisions. However, commercial considerations do not influence the factual accuracy of our editorial content.

Writers and editors are not compensated based on product sales outcomes. Editorial decisions — including what claims are made, what sources are cited, and what corrections are issued — are made independently of the commercial team.

We do not present promotional copy as clinical fact.
