International medical opinion leaders convene for cross-market scientific exchange
The Collagen Symposium on Nov. 9 formed the academic centrepiece of the summit, featuring 15 expert speakers from seven Asia-Pacific markets. Dato’ Dr. Liow Tiong Sin of Malaysia and Dr. Wang Chao Chin of Taiwan served as moderators. Across four key themes—from collagen regeneration concepts, biological mechanisms and safety management to innovative treatments and new product technology—the symposium brought together clinical experiences and professional perspectives from different markets, providing a platform for physicians to exchange knowledge.
The opening theme, “Entering the Collagen Era – The True Regeneration,” featured Dr. Ting Song Lim (Malaysia), Dr. Smith Arayaskul (Thailand), Dr. Chatbongkoch Khemacheewakul (Thailand) and Dr. Akiko Imaizumi (Japan). The four physicians shared perspectives on the role of collagen in aesthetic medicine and the direction of regenerative medicine, drawing on experience from their respective markets.
For “Biological Mechanisms and Safety Management,” Prof. Dr. Shi Bing (mainland China), Dr. Beverly Ong-Amoranto (Philippines), Dr. Kavin Tan (Malaysia) and Dr. Lam Bee Lan (Singapore) brought scientific foundations, mechanisms of action and clinical safety considerations into a cross-border professional discussion.
The “Innovative Collagen Treatment” theme focused on clinical applications, with Dr. Ewen Chee (Singapore), Dr. Chaloemchai Sriakkrapong (Thailand), Dr. Jason Teng (Malaysia) and Dr. Jessie Lim (Malaysia) contributing diverse clinical perspectives on collagen-based treatments and emerging approaches.
The concluding theme, “Introducing Deusaderm ULTRA,” featured Dr. Hsu Hao, Dr. Wu Hsun Pai and Dr. Chen Chang Cyuan, all from Taiwan, who introduced the company’s next phase of collagen technology and product development to the international medical audience.
Together, the international faculty of 15 speakers and two moderators demonstrated the breadth of expertise across Asia-Pacific aesthetic medicine. The event also enabled clinical thinking, practical experience and scientific perspectives from different markets to be shared on one platform, moving beyond the limitations of viewing clinical developments through a single-market lens.

Deusaderm ULTRA was another highlight of the summit. Developed using Sunmax’s patented Triple Cross-Linking Technology, the product is a Type I atelocollagen injectable. Previewed to Asia-Pacific physicians at the event, it reflects the company’s continued investment in collagen technology and formulation innovation. Deusaderm ULTRA is expected to enter Southeast Asian markets in phases beginning in 2027, with actual launch timing subject to local regulatory requirements and approval progress.
