During the WEM 2024, leading experts provided in-depth interpretations of the newly established ELLANSé Asia Pacific Consensus. Professor Luo Shengkang said,"With the rapid progress of material science and medical aesthetics technology, the safety, biocompatibility, and therapeutic effects of facial filler materials have been thoroughly validated in both scientific research and clinical practice." Professor Chen Guangyu said,"For younger Asian patients, injection treatments aim to precisely adjust facial proportions and optimize structural features, while for older patients, it is to maintain facial stability and fullness, effectively addressing wrinkles and skin sagging caused by aging. This approach scientifically combats the visible signs of aging." Professor Cui Haiyan pointed out,"Thanks to the development of science and technology and the deepening of research, I’m pleased to see the advancements in our ability to control the particle size of PCL microspheres, which not only promotes collagen regeneration but also allows us to offer more refined, personalized anti-aging solutions based on varying levels of patient needs."
