Sources & verification

Last verified 2026-07-12 · placed by verification, never by payment.

Editorial note: STRONGEST verification of the set. Dr. Antonio Ruston confirmed as ISHRS Full Member (directory #37887, São Paulo, joined 1999). Independent corroboration: ISHRS + Escavador public professional record + Brazilian press (uai.com.br, virtusrh.com.br). CORRECTION to prior research: the real website is clinicaruston.com.br (also 2020.clinicaruston.com.br / rustonclinic.com.br), NOT the guessed 'ruston.com.br' — updated. Contact is PUBLISHED on the clinic site ([email protected], +55 11 3094-7474 / 3031-1221; address Av. Eng. Oscar Americano 60, Cidade Jardim — matches the ISHRS-listed address). Aggregators (Medihair etc.) seen but NOT counted.
