Meet the Mesotherapy Team

This site is led and medically reviewed by Ke He, MD, who establishes what would be injected and whether anything should be, and who is responsible for the medical content here. The other three physicians contribute what that assessment draws on: the surgical standards of the center, the operative and volume options that an injected mixture cannot replace, and the dermatologic assessment that separates a treatable skin condition from a request for an injection.

Ke He (何锞)

Deputy Director & Head of Skin & Laser Aesthetics · Attending Physician, Licensed Aesthetic Attending · Lead Physician of This Site

Injectable assessment · naming what is in the syringe · the course, the interval and the stopping rule

Dr. Ke He is Deputy Director of the Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Medical Center at Chongqing West District Hospital and head of its skin and laser aesthetic service — and she is the lead physician of this site. A core specialist formerly at the Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery Department of Xinqiao Hospital, affiliated with Army Medical University, she has worked on the clinical front line in skin laser and injectable aesthetics for more than 20 years, serving over ten thousand patients.

On this site her part is the mixture. Mesotherapy names a method and says nothing about the substance, so the assessment here begins with a list rather than with a technique: which ingredients, each licensed or prepared, supported by what, and written down where. Where a plan cannot be written as a list of substances she does not offer it, and where an ingredient has no support behind it she says so rather than removing the subject from the conversation. She establishes first whether the complaint is one this technique can be asked about at all, since a surface concern, a loss of volume and a scar arrive at the same clinic and only the first belongs here. Her injectable work is organised by substance class, she treats maintenance sessions as a decision reviewed at intervals rather than a standing order, and where the honest answer is to do nothing she says so at the assessment rather than after a course.

Clinical focus

  • Establishing whether a complaint is one an injected mixture can address
  • Naming the substances in a plan rather than the technique used to place them
  • Keeping standardised products and prepared mixtures apart in the record
  • Setting the number of sessions, the interval and the stopping rule in advance
  • Judging a course against photographs rather than against how the skin feels

Ask for the list, not the name

The single most useful question on this subject is what is in the syringe. A list of substances can be checked against your history of allergy and medication, looked up, compared and written into a record that a future clinician can read. The word mesotherapy cannot do any of those things, and a clinic that cannot produce the list is offering you a method rather than a treatment.

Director, Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Medical Center · Vice Chief Physician, Associate Professor, Doctor of Medicine

Center leadership · the surgical boundary and hospital standards

Dr. Shaoliang Wang is Director of the Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Medical Center at Chongqing West District Hospital. Within the team he provides the surgical perspective and the tertiary-hospital backstop — the assessment when an operation is the honest answer, and the hospital-level care for the rare complication that needs it.

Within this site his part is the boundary. Where the complaint is descended tissue rather than skin surface, or where a nodule or a delayed reaction needs care beyond the clinic, his service is what the assessment hands over to, and the hospital standards his center sets are what a prepared mixture is held to here.

Clinical focus

  • Center leadership and multidisciplinary case review
  • Surgical assessment when an operation is the honest answer to descent or excess skin
  • Hospital-based care for the rare complication that needs theatre-level management
Tongchun Mao

Tongchun Mao (毛彤春)

Deputy Director & Head of Aesthetic Surgery · Vice Chief Physician, Licensed Aesthetic Attending

Aesthetic surgery · lifting and volume, where an injection cannot reach

Dr. Tongchun Mao is an aesthetic surgeon within the Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Medical Center at Chongqing West District Hospital. Within the team his role is refinement and honest referral: he is the person who says so when an operation will do better than an injectable or a device.

Within this site his part is the honest alternative. When the goal is volume, a defined jawline or a face that has descended, no mixture reaches it, and he is the person who judges what an operation or a filler would change and whether it would change it better.

Clinical focus

  • Aesthetic surgical assessment and refinement of contour and asymmetry
  • Honest referral when surgery outperforms a course of injections
  • Shared case planning within the four-physician team
Yongbo Jia

Yongbo Jia (贾勇波)

Deputy Director & Head of Dermatology · Vice Chief Physician, Licensed Aesthetic Attending

Dermatology · the skin assessment behind any injection plan

Dr. Yongbo Jia is a dermatologist within the Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Medical Center at Chongqing West District Hospital. Within the team his role is medical skin assessment — diagnosing and managing pigment and barrier conditions, and treating skin that a device or an injection has irritated.

Within this site his part is the skin itself: whether the surface change a patient is describing is a condition with its own diagnosis and its own treatment rather than something to inject, and the care of the nodules and delayed reactions that can appear months after a mixture has been placed.

Clinical focus

  • Medical skin assessment behind injectable treatment plans
  • Diagnosis and management of pigment and barrier conditions
  • Dermatologic care of skin after irritation or a delayed reaction

Start with the list, not the name

Arrange an assessment and ask what would actually be injected, as a list of substances rather than a treatment name. We will say which parts have evidence behind them, what a course would involve, and whether anything should be done at all.
