[2026 New Year Special] K-Medical Aesthetics Meets the Global South – Part 1

 The center of gravity in the global medical aesthetics market is shifting. As traditional markets in North America and Western Europe reach maturity, the "Global South"—Southeast Asia, India, and Latin America—is emerging as a new growth engine. With annual growth rates of 14.5% in Southeast Asia and 15.3% in India, these regions are significantly outpacing North America's 9.5–10%. Indonesia alone is projected to grow to nearly $500 million by 2029. Korean medical aesthetic devices are capturing attention in these emerging markets. The driving forces? Leadership in non-invasive technologies, R&D optimized for Asian skin, competitive pricing, and the trust built through the progression from K-Culture to K-Beauty to K-Medical Aesthetics. To witness this shift firsthand, Medical Aesthetic News traveled to i-SWAM 2025, held December 5–7 at ICE BSD in Tangerang, Indonesia.

[ASLS KOREA 2026 Spring ②] 'Is It Really Safe?' — In the Skin Booster Market, the First Question Physicians Ask Is Changing

 This is part two of our on-site coverage from the ASLS KOREA 2026 Spring Congress. The skin booster and drug delivery sections drew as much attention as the EBD halls. Active ingredients are diversifying rapidly — PCL, PDLLA, CaHA, HA, human acellular dermal matrix, exosomes, TCA — and so are the approaches, spanning injectable and topical formats, biostimulators and hydration- and regeneration-focused formulations. Yet across every booth, the first response from clinicians converged around a single question: "Is it really safe?" As ingredient options diversify, the demand for rigorous validation of nodule risk and adverse events is rising in parallel — a shift that was unmistakable on the exhibition floor. We visited skin booster and drug delivery company booths to report firsthand.  #MedicalAestheticNews #ASLSKOREA2026 #ASLS #VAIM #HIGHERCorporation #BAZBIOMEDIC #Curiosis #reH #Humedix #WiQo #DNCAesthetics #HuonsMeditech #Dexlevo #PrimorisInternational ★ Article Link: http...

[Hands-On] The Power of Quasar Tension from the Scalp! Full-Face ‘SUNNY’ Lifting by Dr. Hyungdon Yoon_Part 1

 Dr. Hyungdon Yoon of Toxnfill Clinic Gangdong Cheonho has released a hands-on demonstration video showcasing his treatment techniques using the Quasar Tip of SUNNY, the premium RF lifting device by SHENB. As the No. 1 user of the Virtue RF tip for two consecutive years (2023 and 2024), Dr. Yoon now highlights the core principles of SUNNY and demonstrates his most effective treatment strategies. According to Dr. Yoon, the Quasar Tip delivers precise targeting and deep thermal energy, working directly on the facial ligaments to regenerate stretched ligaments and create a natural lifting effect. Notably, SUNNY is the first RF device capable of treating the scalp, allowing practitioners to strengthen the scalp ligaments and support the entire face from above — a unique and innovative approach. Dr. Yoon emphasizes that SUNNY improves elasticity without reducing fat, enabling vertical facial shortening and enhanced horizontal lifting without concerns of volume loss. He also highlights t...

Less Pain, Longer Results — The Evolution of Skin Booster Injectors, Derma Shine Duo RF

 Dr. Hoyeon Choi of Clim Clinic is actively utilizing a new multi-needle injector that combines radiofrequency (RF) technology with skin booster treatments. According to Dr. Choi, this device adds RF functionality to the conventional multi-needle injector, creating synergistic effects in drug delivery, skin texture improvement, elasticity enhancement, and extended duration of results. He also highlighted reduced drug loss and less pain compared to manual injections as key advantages. Furthermore, he noted that when combined with existing monopolar RF or HIFU devices, the elasticity improvement effects become even more pronounced, making it a highly recommended option especially for international patients who cannot visit frequently. #MedicalAestheticNews #HuonsMeditech #DermaShine_Duo_RF #ClimClinic_Myeongdong #Dr_HoYeon_Choi ★ Article Link: https://www.aestheticnews.co.kr/news/articleView.html?idxno=10960
