TMS Therapy (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation)
经颅磁刺激治疗
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) for treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, and OCD using non-invasive brain stimulation technology. Chinese hospitals have widely adopted TMS with extensive clinical experience across psychiatric and neurological indications. Treatment uses focused magnetic pulses to modulate neural circuits involved in mood regulation without systemic medication side effects.
Thread Lift
线雕提升
Thread lift is a minimally invasive facial rejuvenation procedure using absorbable PDO or PLLA threads to lift sagging skin and stimulate collagen production. China's aesthetic medicine industry has exploded in recent years, with top clinics in Beijing, Shanghai, and Chengdu offering advanced thread lift techniques at 60-70% less than Western prices. Chinese practitioners are known for refined Asian facial contouring techniques, achieving natural-looking lifts tailored to individual facial anatomy.
Fat Transfer (Lipofilling)
自体脂肪填充
Autologous fat transfer harvests fat from one area of the body (abdomen, thighs) and reinjects it into areas needing volume restoration such as the face, breasts, or buttocks. China's leading cosmetic surgery centers have perfected nanofat and microfat grafting techniques, achieving high survival rates through advanced purification methods like the Coleman technique and SVF enrichment. Patients benefit from dual contouring effects — slimming the donor site while adding natural volume to the target area.
Dental Veneer Smile Design
微笑设计贴面
Digital Smile Design (DSD) combined with ultra-thin porcelain veneers transforms smiles with minimal tooth preparation. China's top dental centers in Shenzhen, Guangzhou, and Shanghai utilize CAD/CAM technology and in-house ceramic labs to produce custom veneers with exceptional color matching and translucency. The integration of AI-powered smile simulation and same-day digital workflows enables patients to preview results before committing, all at 50-70% less than equivalent treatments in the US or Europe.
Dry Eye Treatment
干眼症治疗
Comprehensive dry eye treatment programs in China combine advanced diagnostic technology (meibography, tear film interferometry, osmolarity testing) with multimodal therapies including IPL (Intense Pulsed Light), LipiFlow thermal pulsation, and traditional Chinese medicine approaches. China's eye hospitals offer integrated Western-TCM protocols that address both meibomian gland dysfunction and aqueous deficiency, providing lasting relief at a fraction of Western costs.
Tennis Elbow Treatment
网球肘治疗
China's sports medicine centers offer comprehensive tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) treatment combining regenerative medicine (PRP injections, stem cell therapy) with advanced physiotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine. Top orthopedic hospitals in Beijing and Shanghai use ultrasound-guided injections for precision targeting of damaged tendons, while TCM approaches like acupuncture and tuina massage provide complementary pain relief and accelerated healing.
Cardiac CT Angiography
心脏CT血管造影
Cardiac CT angiography (CCTA) is a non-invasive imaging technique that provides detailed 3D visualization of coronary arteries to detect blockages, plaques, and anatomical abnormalities. China's major cardiac centers operate latest-generation 256-slice and dual-source CT scanners with AI-enhanced image analysis, delivering diagnostic accuracy comparable to invasive catheterization. Same-day results and dramatically lower costs make China an attractive destination for cardiac screening.
Migraine Treatment Program
偏头痛治疗方案
China's neurology centers offer comprehensive migraine treatment programs that uniquely integrate Western preventive medicine with traditional Chinese medicine approaches. Treatment combines the latest CGRP inhibitor therapies, Botox injections, and neuromodulation devices with acupuncture protocols proven effective in clinical trials. WHO-recognized TCM headache treatments complement modern neurology, offering patients a multimodal approach unavailable in most Western countries.
Surrogacy Consultation & Legal Guidance
代孕咨询与法律指导
This consultation service provides comprehensive guidance on surrogacy options, legal frameworks, and cross-border reproductive arrangements for international patients considering family-building options in Asia. While commercial surrogacy is not legal in mainland China, top fertility clinics provide expert consultation on fertility preservation, IVF preparation, and legal navigation for patients exploring surrogacy in jurisdictions where it is permitted. The service includes coordination with international legal experts and ethical reproductive medicine specialists.
TCM Anti-Aging Program
中医抗衰老方案
China's premier TCM hospitals offer comprehensive anti-aging programs rooted in centuries of longevity medicine, now validated by modern research on telomere health, oxidative stress, and cellular senescence. Programs combine personalized herbal formulas, acupuncture facial rejuvenation (cosmetic acupuncture), moxibustion, dietary therapy, and qi gong exercises. These ancient protocols are enhanced with modern biomarker tracking to quantify aging reversal, offering a holistic alternative to Western anti-aging medicine.
Fatty Liver Disease Treatment
脂肪肝治疗
China's hepatology centers excel in treating non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD/MAFLD), offering integrated programs that combine advanced diagnostics (FibroScan, MRI-PDFF), metabolic optimization, and TCM liver-protective therapies. With fatty liver affecting over 25% of China's population, Chinese hepatologists have extensive clinical experience and access to both Western medications and traditional herbal hepatoprotective formulas backed by clinical research.
Erectile Dysfunction Treatment
勃起功能障碍治疗
China's urology centers offer comprehensive erectile dysfunction (ED) treatment programs combining advanced diagnostics, regenerative therapies (low-intensity shockwave therapy, PRP injections), and integrated TCM approaches. Chinese medicine has treated male sexual health for millennia, and modern TCM-urology integration provides options unavailable in Western clinics. Treatments address underlying vascular, hormonal, and psychological factors with discretion and cultural sensitivity.
