HONG KONG SAR - EQS Newswire - 2 December 2024 - Uni-Bio Science Group Limited (the "Company", together with its subsidiaries, the "Group") is pleased to announce two significant milestones that demonstrate the Group's continued growth and innovation in the field of medical aesthetics and dermatological solutions.

The Group's strategic cooperation product with Chongqing Minji Medical Device Co., Ltd., recombinant collagen dressing, has successfully received Class II medical device approval, with the approval number "渝械注准 20242140377". At the same time, the Group's self-developed medical aesthetics product, 肌顏態®, was successfully launched, marked by a grand event held in Wuhan. The launch brought together industry experts, key opinion leaders, media representatives, and other professionals to witness the Group's entry into the rapidly growing medical aesthetics market, valued at hundreds of billions of RMB. This milestone signifies a bold new chapter for the Group as it continues to expand its presence in this high-potential sector.
Collagen, which is central to the newly approved recombinant collagen dressing, is the most abundant protein in the human body, comprising 25–35% of total protein content. It forms a network of elastic fibers that support the skin's structure, maintain elasticity, and lock in moisture. However, collagen production decreases by approximately 1% annually after maturity (around age 21), leading to a loss of skin firmness and elasticity. Collagen-based products have a wide range of applications, including moisturizing, maintaining the skin barrier, and addressing signs of aging. In addition to dressing, microneedles for collagen are also being developed.
The launch of 肌顏態®, developed based on proprietary patents of Skbrella™ FN (Recombinant Human Fibronectin), marks another key milestone in the Group's efforts to expand its portfolio. 肌顏態® is designed to provide safe, effective solutions for improving skin quality and repair, making it ideal for treating damaged skin, acne-prone skin, and for post-medical procedure care. Fibronectin, a multifunctional extracellular matrix glycoprotein, plays a vital role in cell migration, adhesion, proliferation, hemostasis, and tissue repair. It is worth mentioning that the Group is advancing the development of its fibronectin-based medical device.

The debut of肌顏態® has attracted high recognition and attention from many dermatologists and medical aesthetics practitioners. At the launch, experts and scholars conducted professional academic exchanges and case sharing on the effects and clinical use of fibronectin from different perspectives "肌顏態®, a product designed for use throughout the entire cycle of preoperative and post-medical procedures, demonstrates significant effectiveness, particularly for patients with anesthetic allergies. It enables rapid skin repair and reduces redness efficiently."
