With the continuous upgrading of the medical aesthetics industry, injectable products have become a major market focus. A range of injectable products has already gained broad consumer recognition, with hyaluronic acid, collagen, and botulinum toxin-based injectables being particularly popular. At the same time, new materials such as hydroxyapatite, agarose, and elastin are advancing through R&D and regulatory pathways, expanding product choices.
In recent years, improved regulatory policies have accelerated the overall development of the medical aesthetics industry, creating opportunities across the entire value chain. Medical aesthetic injectable products are becoming increasingly diversified, driven by innovation in raw materials, manufacturing processes, and application strategies. With continued technological progress and more sophisticated consumer demand, further innovation in medical aesthetic injectable products is expected.
Medical aesthetic injectables mainly include hyaluronic acid-based, collagen-based, regenerative materials such as polylactic acid, and botulinum toxin-based products. Hyaluronic acid, collagen, and regenerative materials are regulated as medical devices, while botulinum toxin is classified as a medical toxic drug. The emergence of materials such as hydroxyapatite, agarose, and elastin highlights the growing diversity of injectable products.
As China's medical aesthetics market matures, companies are placing greater emphasis on brand strength and quality control. Leading brands continue to expand market share through strong R&D and reliable product quality. Competition now extends beyond product performance to innovation capability, service quality, and marketing, driving more differentiated brand positioning.
Collagen-based products are also developing rapidly. Recombinant collagen, produced via synthetic biology, features virus-free safety, low immunogenicity, and high purity, making it suitable for injectable applications. Animal-derived collagen, sourced from natural tissues, offers proven biocompatibility and tissue repair performance based on long-term clinical use.
Currently, multiple companies are expanding their presence in the collagen segment, strengthening both technological innovation and production capacity. As demand continues to rise, more collagen-based products are expected to enter the market, offering broader choices for consumers.
In the botulinum toxin segment, clinical research activity remains strong. More than ten companies in China currently have injectable botulinum toxin products in clinical development.
Its recombinant type A botulinum toxin for adult upper limb spasticity has completed Phase II clinical trials and is preparing for Phase III. Significant improvements in MAS scores have been observed across multiple muscle groups compared with baseline.
