NMC is an educational platform designed to enhance physicians’ capabilities and promote academic exchange in response to the growing global demand for botulinum toxin procedures. This year’s program centered on the brand message “SAFETY ON, BEAUTY ON,” highlighting PrabotulinumtoxinA’s safety and quality through a wide range of activities, from scientific sessions to facility tours. As aesthetic procedures increasingly shift toward high-dose and repetitive treatments, consistent safety has emerged as a critical benchmark in clinical practice.
The first day’s lecture sessions, themed “Evidence & Safety,” featured presentations from leading experts, including Dr. Hosung Choi (Lieul Clinic, Seoul) on global trends, advanced injection techniques, and safety in botulinum toxin treatments; Dr. Wonwoo Choi (Wells Dermatology Clinic, Apgujeong) on diffusion characteristics and duration across different toxins based on global data; and Dr. Jaeyoon Jung (Oaro Dermatology Clinic, Nowon) on synergistic combination treatments using NABOLIFT, NABOGLOW, and calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), along with real-world clinical applications.
The session concluded with a global panel discussion chaired by Dr. Choonshik Yoon (Yemiwon Dermatology Clinic), featuring key opinion leaders from APAC and Brazil—Dr. Hsin-Hung Chen, Dr. Hardiono Teddy Saputra, Dr. Siriyupa Kaosaypan, and Dra. Renata Primavera—who shared clinical cases and regional treatment trends. The session, titled “Why Botulinum Toxin Type A?”, drew strong interest as it highlighted PrabotulinumtoxinA’s differentiation and competitiveness among various botulinum toxin products.
One of the program’s most distinctive components was the anatomy session, designed to enhance precision and safety in toxin injections. Prof. Seung-Ho Han of Ewha Womans University, Vice President of the International Federation of Associations of Anatomists (IFAA), led cadaver-based training and face-painting sessions to demonstrate facial anatomy and layer-specific injection points. This was followed by live demonstrations of NABOLIFT and NABOGLOW via real-time broadcast, along with 1:1 hands-on training in small groups. Eight expert instructors—including Dr. Seongmin Noh (Benjamin Clinic), Dr. Jeesoo Kook (It’s Me Clinic, Ansan), Dr. Kyungtae Bae (It’s Me Clinic, Sejong), Dr. Youngwoon Park (Villa de Skin Dermatology Clinic), and Dr. Hyoseung Jang (Pieobom Clinic, Gangnam)—participated, earning positive feedback for delivering an immersive, practice-oriented learning experience.
PrabotulinumtoxinA’s proprietary techniques, NABOLIFT and NABOGLOW, attracted significant attention from both domestic and international participants. NABOLIFT focuses on lifting and contouring by targeting the muscle layer, while NABOGLOW enhances skin texture, tone, and pore appearance by targeting the dermal layer. Sessions sharing practical know-how and real clinical experiences received particularly strong engagement.
Dr. Hardiono Teddy Saputra, Director of Rejuvenated Clinic in Indonesia, commented, “This program went beyond simple demonstrations, offering valuable insights by sharing practical techniques and know-how that can be directly applied in real clinical settings. In particular, the well-integrated combination of live demonstrations and hands-on training significantly enhanced our understanding of the procedures.”
The tour of Daewoong’s Hyangnam manufacturing facility was another key highlight. Participants explored both the existing and new production sites, gaining firsthand insight into PrabotulinumtoxinA’s quality control system and manufacturing infrastructure. Through exposure to aseptic processes, key production equipment, and automated logistics systems, attendees were able to appreciate the robust manufacturing capabilities underpinning Botulinum Toxin Type A’s safety and reliability.
Junsoo Yoon, Head of NABOTA Business Division at Daewoong Pharmaceutical, stated, “This year’s NMC was designed to consistently reflect our core value of ‘Safety’ throughout the program, allowing global healthcare professionals to experience it firsthand. Moving forward, we will continue to strengthen our brand competitiveness and global leadership through differentiated academic platforms that expand Botulinum Toxin Type A’s proprietary techniques and clinical expertise.”
