This forms a solid base for our talent pipeline. We focus on light medical aesthetics services, where technical requirements for doctors are easier to standardize. Newly recruited doctors can accumulate extensive practical experience in a short time and are quickly brought up to speed. Meanwhile, we are committed to building a high-quality team. All of over 130 full-time doctors have either completed internships or standardized training at public hospitals, and nearly 90% of them are specialized in dermatology.
