Disclosures

Every disclosure this practice publishes, in full, with the authority behind each one and where it appears. If you want to check what we are required to tell you, it is all here.

medical-director
Prescribed
Georgia advertising for medical services must identify the physician responsible for them; a trade name alone is not sufficient. Most practices in this category do not name one at all, which makes it a ten-second check worth running on anybody you are comparing us with.
Anita Rao, MD is the Medical Director of Candor Aesthetics and the physician responsible for the medical services provided at this practice. She is board certified in dermatology.

good-faith-exam
Prescribed
Delegated medical treatment in Georgia requires a good-faith examination by a licensed provider before treatment, under written protocols. It is also the practice's whole booking model: a request is a request, and a confirmation that reads like an appointment creates an expectation nobody has accepted.
Every patient is evaluated by a licensed provider before any treatment is performed. Treatment plans are individualized following that evaluation and are performed under the medical direction and standing orders of Anita Rao, MD. No treatment is provided on the basis of a website form, a quiz result, or a phone call.

results-may-vary
House rule
A photograph beside a treatment name is read as a prediction by the person deciding whether to be treated. This practice publishes no patient photographs at all, so the notice has no image to sit beside — it is published here in full, and the reason there are none is answered in the FAQ.
Individual results vary. Photographs show one patient's outcome and are not a prediction, promise, or guarantee of the result you will experience. Outcomes depend on anatomy, skin type, age, health, the number of sessions performed, and how the skin responds.

results-not-typical
Prescribed
An atypical result requires its own disclosure, adjacent to that result. It is a DIFFERENT disclaimer from results-may-vary with a different trigger, and shipping one in place of the other is a defect. It renders only where a case is flagged above-typical — a blanket version applied to every photograph is meaningless and reads as an admission.
The result shown is better than the typical result for this treatment. Most patients should not expect an outcome of this degree.

photo-consent
House rule
Consent to treatment is not consent to publication. A separate written authorization specifically covering advertising use is required for every published patient photograph, and it is revocable. No such photograph is published today; this is the standard one would have to meet first, and the FAQ gives the same answer in the practice's own words.
Any patient photograph published here carries that patient's separate written consent specifically authorizing advertising use of that image. Consent to treatment is not consent to publication. Consent may be withdrawn at any time, and the photograph is removed when it is.

no-off-label
House rule
Promoting a product for a use it has not been approved for is an FDA matter rather than a marketing one, and so is representing a compounded preparation as equivalent to a manufacturer's product. This practice names no product at all — every treatment is described by its generic category — which is what makes both impossible rather than merely forbidden.
We describe treatments by their general category and their approved use. We do not promote any product for a use it has not been approved for, and we do not represent any compounded preparation as equivalent to a manufacturer's product.

no-weight-loss-claims
House rule
Outcome claims about body weight require clinical substantiation this practice does not have, and the drugs the category is currently built on would be promoted off-label. This practice does not offer that service and does not mention it; the disclaimer states the boundary where the adjacent treatments could be misread as approaching it.
We do not offer treatment directed at body weight and we make no claims of that kind. Body contouring addresses localized areas in patients at or near a stable weight. It is not a substitute for diet, exercise, or medical care, and it will not change your weight.

material-connection
Prescribed
The most commonly violated FTC rule in this vertical. A free treatment, a discount, a gift card, a referral credit or an employment relationship behind a statement must be disclosed AT THE START of that statement, not in a footnote under it. This practice publishes no testimonials, so nothing currently triggers it — the entry stays because the day one is published is the day it is needed, and that is the day nobody remembers to add it.
Where a person making a statement about this practice has received a free or discounted treatment, a gift card, a referral credit, or any other consideration, or is an employee or a family member of one, that connection is stated at the beginning of the statement — not in a footnote.

reg-z
Prescribed
Regulation Z makes certain financing terms 'triggering terms' in an advertisement: state one and the advertisement must disclose the others. The rule attaches to the phrase rather than to the page, which is why it carries triggers as well as a required route.
Patient financing is provided by third-party lenders, not by Candor Aesthetics. Approval, credit limits, annual percentage rate, and repayment terms are set by the lender and are subject to credit approval. We receive no portion of any interest charged. Rates and terms shown are examples and are not an offer of credit.

membership-terms
House rule
A recurring charge with an auto-renewal is a contract, and the terms that matter — how to cancel, what rolls over, what happens to the discount — belong beside the price rather than in a footer. Publishing the price and withholding those is publishing the flattering half.
Memberships bill monthly to the card on file and continue until cancelled. Cancel with thirty days' written notice. Included treatments are one per calendar month, do not roll over, and are non-transferable and non-refundable. Discounts apply only while the membership is active. Prices shown are current and may change with thirty days' notice.

gift-card-terms
House rule
Gift certificate expiry, dormancy fees and cash-back thresholds are set by state law and by the federal CARD Act, and they differ. The terms have to travel with the point of sale rather than living on a legal page nobody opens.
Gift cards are redeemable for treatments and retail products at this location, are not redeemable for cash except where state law requires, and cannot be applied to an existing membership balance. Lost or stolen cards are replaced only where we can verify the original purchase.

not-medical-advice
House rule
Explaining how a treatment or a skin condition works reads as advice to the person reading it. The skin quiz is the sharpest case: it hands back two concerns and a suggested starting place, which is shaped exactly like an assessment, and the qualifier beside it is what says it is not one.
The information on this website is general information about aesthetic treatments and is not medical advice, a diagnosis, or a treatment recommendation for you. It is not a substitute for evaluation by a licensed provider. If you have a skin condition, a medical condition, or a symptom that concerns you, see a physician.

The wording of the entries below was drafted from secondary compliance summaries rather than from the primary statutory or regulatory text, and the Georgia rules governing delegated cosmetic medical services changed during the 2026 legislative session. Our counsel is reading each one against the primary source, and the wording here will change where it needs to. We would rather publish that than let a page of small print imply a certainty nobody has.
