About

Dr. Zheng emphasizes a holistic approach to wellness, believing connection and nature are essential for regulating stress hormones and achieving true recovery.

Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Yixiu Zheng

Sourced directly from Dr. Yixiu Zheng's social posts and replies.

What is the difference between a BBL Facial and a BBL Treatment?
Both BBL Facial and BBL Treatment utilize the same BroadBand Light technology. The key difference in results depends on the intensity used, which is tailored to the patient's desired outcome. Many people misunderstand this distinction.
How can I determine the right BBL treatment for me?
You can determine the appropriate BBL treatment for your needs through a full body skin consultation with Renaissance Medical.
What are the benefits of Emsculpt?
Emsculpt can burn fat and build muscle without requiring physical effort from the patient. It is also recommended as a great way to tone the belly for the summer.
Where can I fill prescriptions after a procedure?
After a procedure, patients can conveniently fill their prescriptions at Cambridge Chemists.
What aftercare essentials are recommended and where can I find them?
Cambridge Chemists provides dermatologist-recommended aftercare essentials, including gentle cleansers, moisturizers, healing skincare, and broad-spectrum sunscreen, all in one convenient location. Their pharmacists are also available to help patients with questions.
What is Dr. Zheng's philosophy on the difference between aesthetician and physician-led care?
Dr. Zheng believes it significantly matters whether an aesthetician or a physician performs treatments, especially when involving needles or lasers near the face. While aestheticians are trained in skincare and cosmetic treatments like facials and peels, they cannot diagnose, prescribe medication, or perform medical procedures. Physicians, as medical doctors, can diagnose skin conditions, prescribe medication, perform injectables, use medical-grade laser settings, and manage complications. The training behind treatments is not similar, even if the treatments appear similar on a menu.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2024)

$3,030

Payments

65

Compared to peers

Moderate

Dr. Yixiu Zheng received $3,030 across 65 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 71% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was Amgen Inc..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”

Her philosophy emphasizes a holistic approach to wellness, recognizing that factors like connection and nature are essential for regulating stress hormones and achieving true recovery, not just powering through. She believes the quiet of mountains can be as restorative as medical treatments, and that nature has a measurable effect on cortisol levels.

She recognizes the significant influence hormones have on how the body feels, and believes that addressing hormonal issues can profoundly transform a person's energy, mood, and overall wellness. The practice is founded on the belief that self-care is paramount for effective patient care, and that better patient outcomes are achieved through strategic partnerships. Renaissance Medical provides physician-led care, distinguishing itself from mere spa treatments.
