How we research and write.
Glow Up Facts should feel like a smart friend, not a sales brochure. This page is how we try to earn that trust.
What we cover
Cosmetic procedures, dental work, and health treatments — including costs, recovery, risks, and whether something may be worth it for some people. We write at a 5th-grade reading level on purpose. Short sentences. Easy to skim. Honest about the messy parts.
Sources, dates, and updates
We use official sources, published studies, regulator and professional-group guidance, and documented prices or patient experiences when we can find them. We date cost figures and claims so you can see how fresh they are. We update pages when the facts change, and we correct mistakes when we learn about them. If you spot an error, email hello@glowupfacts.com.
We don't invent
No made-up stats. No fake testimonials. No invented doctors, medical reviewers, awards, or credentials. If we don't have a source, we don't dress a guess up as a fact. We'd rather say nothing than guess.
Rankings and money
When we publish a ranking, placement is editorial. Clinics and brands can't pay to rank here, and they can't pay to change a verdict. Affiliate commissions and ads, when we use them, are explained on How we make money and our Advertiser disclosure.
How we talk about GLP-1s and similar drugs
Some weight-loss and wellness pages will cover GLP-1 medicines. We follow FDA-compliant language. We will not call a compounded drug a "generic" version of a brand-name drug, and we will not say a compounded drug is "the same as" a brand-name drug. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved copies of brand medicines. If a page mentions them, we'll say that clearly.
Not medical advice
Our guides are for information only. They are not a diagnosis, a treatment plan, or a recommendation just for you. A licensed provider who knows your history should help you decide. Results vary. In an emergency, call 911. See our Medical disclaimer.
