Medical and Regulatory Disclaimer

1. Educational Information Only

The information provided on this website—including articles, treatment descriptions, videos, photographs, frequently asked questions, social media content, and other materials—is intended for general informational and educational purposes only.

Website content is not medical advice and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition. It should not be used as a substitute for an individualized consultation, examination, diagnosis, or treatment recommendation from a qualified healthcare professional who has evaluated you.

Do not start, stop, or change any medication, supplement, treatment, or healthcare regimen based solely on information provided on this website.

2. No Provider-Patient Relationship

Accessing this website, submitting an online inquiry, requesting an appointment, subscribing to communications, or communicating with Lumaire through a general website form does not, by itself, create a provider-patient relationship.

A provider-patient relationship is established only after Lumaire has accepted you as a patient and an appropriately licensed healthcare professional has completed the evaluation necessary to provide care.

If you are an established Lumaire patient, this website does not replace the individualized instructions, informed-consent discussions, or treatment recommendations provided by your clinician.

3. Medical Emergencies

This website and its contact forms are not monitored for medical emergencies.

If you believe you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. Do not rely on email, text messaging, website forms, social media, or the patient portal for urgent or emergency care.

4. Individual Evaluation and Treatment Eligibility

The treatments and services described on this website are not appropriate for every person. Treatment eligibility depends on an individualized evaluation that may include medical history, current medications, allergies, physical examination, laboratory testing, contraindications, treatment goals, and the professional judgment of the treating clinician.

The appearance of a treatment, medication, product, device, or service on this website does not mean that Lumaire will recommend, prescribe, sell, or provide it to any particular person. Lumaire may decline, postpone, modify, or discontinue a treatment when clinically appropriate or legally required.

5. FDA Approval, Clearance, and Registration

References to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") must be understood in relation to the specific product, device, and intended use involved.

FDA approval of a drug applies only to the particular drug, formulation, route of administration, dosage, population, and indication included in its approved labeling. FDA clearance or authorization of a medical device applies only to the device and uses covered by the applicable clearance or authorization.

FDA clearance is not the same as FDA approval. In addition, registration of a manufacturer, pharmacy, facility, product, or device with the FDA does not necessarily mean that the FDA has approved or endorsed it.

The FDA does not approve or endorse individual healthcare professionals, medical practices, or treatment facilities. References to FDA-regulated products or devices on this website do not imply that the FDA endorses Lumaire or its services.

6. Off-Label Use

An "off-label" use occurs when an FDA-approved drug, biologic, or medical device is prescribed or used in a manner that is not included in its FDA-approved or FDA-cleared labeling. This may involve a different condition, patient population, dosage, treatment area, route of administration, or method of use.

Licensed healthcare professionals may recommend an off-label use when permitted by law and when, in their professional judgment, the use is medically appropriate for an individual patient. However, the FDA has not determined that the product is safe and effective for that particular off-label use.

If an off-label use is recommended as part of your care, your clinician will discuss the material risks, potential benefits, reasonable alternatives, and regulatory status as appropriate before treatment. General website information about an off-label use is not a recommendation that the treatment is appropriate for you.

7. Compounded Medications

Lumaire may prescribe compounded medications when a licensed clinician determines that a compounded preparation is medically appropriate for an individual patient and the medication is lawfully available.

Compounded medications are not FDA-approved. The FDA does not review compounded medications for safety, effectiveness, or quality before they are marketed. Compounded medications are not the same as FDA-approved generic drugs and may differ from FDA-approved products in formulation, strength, inactive ingredients, delivery method, storage requirements, or other characteristics.

When prescribed through Lumaire, compounded medications will be prepared or dispensed by an appropriately licensed pharmacy or outsourcing facility, as applicable. Pharmacy licensure, registration, or inspection does not constitute FDA approval of an individual compounded medication.

Compounded medications may present risks, including potency variation, contamination, dosing errors, adverse reactions, and risks associated with the active ingredients themselves. Your clinician will discuss material risks and alternatives relevant to any compounded medication recommended for you.

The availability and legal status of compounded medications can change. Lumaire does not guarantee that a particular compounded medication will remain available or appropriate for treatment.

8. Hormone and Metabolic Treatments

Some medications used in hormone therapy, metabolic health, or weight-management care are FDA-approved for particular indications. Other uses may be off-label, and certain formulations may be compounded and therefore not FDA-approved.

Mentioning a medication or active ingredient on this website does not mean that every formulation, dosage, or use of that medication has been approved by the FDA. It also does not mean that the medication is appropriate for every patient or that Lumaire will prescribe it.

Prescriptions are issued only after an appropriate clinical evaluation and are subject to the clinician's judgment, applicable prescribing requirements, and the medication's lawful availability.

9. Peptide Therapies

The term "peptide therapy" encompasses different products with substantially different regulatory statuses. Some peptide-based medications are FDA-approved for specific indications. Other peptide products are not FDA-approved for any use, may have limited clinical evidence, or may not be eligible for lawful compounding or distribution.

The discussion of a peptide or peptide therapy on this website does not mean that the product is FDA-approved, legally available, clinically appropriate, or offered by Lumaire. Lumaire will provide or prescribe peptide-related treatments only when the treating clinician determines that the treatment is lawfully available and clinically appropriate.

10. Dietary Supplements and Wellness Products

Dietary supplements are regulated differently from prescription and over-the-counter drugs. The FDA generally does not approve dietary supplements for safety or effectiveness before they are marketed.

Supplements may cause adverse reactions, interact with medications or other supplements, affect laboratory results, or be inappropriate for certain medical conditions. Consult a qualified healthcare professional before beginning a supplement, particularly if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, preparing for a procedure, or managing a medical condition.

Any disclosure legally required in connection with a particular supplement claim should appear with or near that specific claim. This global disclaimer is not intended to replace product-specific disclosures or labeling requirements.

11. Aesthetic Treatments and Medical Devices

Aesthetic treatments and medical devices may be FDA-approved, FDA-cleared, otherwise lawfully marketed, or used off-label, depending on the particular product, device, and treatment.

FDA approval or clearance does not mean that a treatment is risk-free or that every patient will achieve a particular result. Even properly performed aesthetic procedures may result in temporary or permanent complications, including pain, bruising, swelling, infection, pigment changes, scarring, burns, asymmetry, vascular complications, nerve injury, or an unsatisfactory cosmetic result.

Website content is not an exhaustive description of treatment risks. Treatment-specific risks, benefits, alternatives, expected recovery, and aftercare will be addressed through the applicable consultation and informed-consent process.

12. Results, Photographs, and Testimonials

Individual responses to medical and aesthetic treatments vary. Lumaire does not promise or guarantee any particular medical, wellness, weight-management, hormone-related, or aesthetic outcome.

Before-and-after photographs and patient testimonials depict individual experiences. They are not guarantees that another patient will obtain the same or similar result. Outcomes may be affected by age, anatomy, medical history, health conditions, medications, adherence, lifestyle, treatment selection, treatment frequency, and other factors.

Photographs may also be affected by lighting, positioning, expression, camera settings, timing, or other variables. Any material editing or alteration will be disclosed where required.

13. Evolving Medical and Regulatory Information

Medical knowledge, clinical recommendations, product availability, and federal and state regulatory requirements change over time. Although Lumaire endeavors to provide accurate and current information, website content may not always reflect the most recent research, regulatory action, product labeling, safety communication, or legal development.

Lumaire may revise or remove website content at any time. You should discuss current treatment information directly with your clinician.

14. Reporting Side Effects or Adverse Events

If you experience a possible side effect or adverse reaction, contact your treating healthcare professional promptly. If the reaction may be an emergency, call 911 or seek emergency medical care.

Patients may also report serious problems associated with FDA-regulated products through the FDA MedWatch Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting Program.

15. No Waiver of Patient Rights or Professional Duties

Nothing in this Medical and Regulatory Disclaimer limits any professional duty owed by a healthcare professional to an established patient or waives any patient right that cannot lawfully be waived.

Treatment-specific consent forms, clinician instructions, medication information, and individualized care plans govern the medical care provided to Lumaire patients.

16. Related Website Policies

Use of this website is also subject to Lumaire's Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. Our Notice of Privacy Practices, when applicable, separately explains how medical information maintained by Lumaire may be used and disclosed.
