From a dental implant to cancer surgery — China's academician-led teams see 3–10× more cases than Western peers. Consult to treatment in 13 days, not 2-year queues. At a fraction of the cost.
China's academician-led surgical teams operate 3–10× more cases than Western peers — experience is the best safety net.
Twelve deep-dives into the treatments global patients travel for — from a half-day premium checkup to robotic cancer surgery. Each is faster, more comprehensive, and a fraction of the cost of what you'd pay at home. Green border = Consumer Care · Blue border = Serious Medical.
A full premium package — 3.0T MRI, 128-slice CT, cardiac ultrasound, gastroscopy, and tumor markers — completed in half a day with same-day reports. "Prevention-first" philosophy with deep screening at 5–10% of US pricing. Equipment on par with top US centers.
Implants, root canals, aligners and same-day crowns. Save enough on one implant to cover your airfare — global-standard materials (Straumann, Nobel, Invisalign®) with immediate-loading implants. A 5–7 day trip covers full diagnosis and procedure.
Walk in at 10 a.m., walk out with new glasses by lunch. 5° precision refraction (vs 25° abroad) at factory-direct prices — Zeiss and Essilor lenses are made locally, 30–50% less than overseas. One-stop service: exam, refraction, frame selection, and edging.
LASIK, SMILE, cataract, and retinal treatment. World #1 in SMILE volume — surgeons perform 5–10× more procedures annually. Same Zeiss/Alcon equipment as top US clinics. World-first gene therapy for congenital deafness. Surgery scheduled within a week of consult.
The "original" medical system at its source — acupuncture, tuina, cupping and herbal therapy in tertiary hospitals, backed by modern imaging. Chief physicians, same-day appointments, and combined therapies. Take-home wellness wisdom: recipes, herbal teas, and self-care practices.
HAIRO® robotic harvesting at 1,800 grafts/hr — over 2× faster than overseas. ≥98% graft survival with East-meets-West aesthetic design using the "Three-thirds & Five-eyes" facial proportion system. Surgeons perform 3–5× more annual surgeries than Western peers.
NMPA-regulated injectables in JCI-accredited clinics. The trending "Born-Like-This Face" — subtle enhancement, not a mask. 52 new Class-III devices approved in 2025, with real-time product tracking and mandatory practitioner licensing. 40–60% less than Western prices.
