From October 25 to 27, the 7th Ziyalan International Anti-Aging Medical Beauty Conference and Shenzhen’s first Rest Assured Medical Beauty Festival were held at the Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Center (Futian). The conference invited top experts from countries and regions such as the United States, Russia, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, and China, and set up a total of 200 booths to fully display the international frontier of the medical beauty industry, so that practitioners can understand the latest developments in medical beauty and connect with upstream, midstream and downstream resources. Citizens can also compare prices and get a lot of preferential “wool”.
In recent years, the medical beauty industry has developed rapidly and has grown into a high-growth track with a scale of hundreds of billions. Statistics show that from 2016 to 2022, the national market size will increase from 84.1 billion yuan to 264.3 billion yuan, with an annual compound growth rate of about 19%. At the same time, the development potential is huge. In 2022, the number of medical beauty visits per thousand people will be about 18, less than a quarter of neighboring South Korea.
As a national economic center, Shenzhen’s medical beauty institutions will provide 5.143 million services in 2023, up 14.2% year-on-year from 2022. In 2021, Shenzhen proposed the goal of building a nationally leading and world-renowned “medical beauty capital” to support the group development of medical beauty institutions.
It is reported that this conference has 11 summit forums, including international masters, skin beauty, cosmetic surgery, minimally invasive injections, prevention and repair of mantou face, sexual medicine and private anti-aging, aesthetic design and consulting, operation management, light medicine development summit forum, China Association of Plastic Surgery and Industry, China Medical Beauty Compliance and New Quality Development, etc. It also awarded the global medical beauty book “Oscar” award for the first time to encourage the hard work and dedication of medical beauty book authors and translators.
The momentum of AI has also blown to the medical beauty industry. This conference innovatively opened a special AI medical beauty session, and industry professionals discussed together how to leverage AI to improve the quality and efficiency of the “craftsmanship” of the traditional medical beauty industry.
For citizens, the first Shenzhen Rest Assured Medical Beauty Festival held at the same time is a good place to “open your eyes” and “get the best deals”. The Shenzhen Plastic Surgery Industry Association has “strictly selected” a group of reliable exhibitors to fully display good medical beauty institutions, good doctors and good products to help you “avoid pitfalls” and become beautiful with confidence.
Shenzhen is a city of innovation and a national advanced manufacturing base. It has always been among the best in the technological dimension of the medical beauty industry. According to the latest China Urban Medical Beauty Industry Development Index for the first half of 2024, Shenzhen ranks second in terms of talent, capital, technology and consumption, second only to Beijing.
Shenzhen’s medical device output value accounts for about 10% of the country, and exports account for 13%, ranking first among large and medium-sized cities in the country for many years. Shenzhen has also emerged as a new force in the optoelectronic medical beauty medicine and equipment manufacturing industry, with leading companies represented by Jisidi and Peninsula Medical. Jisidi’s laser hair removal device occupies about 30% of the national market and exports account for about 10% of the international market. Peninsula Medical’s “anti-aging ultrasound gun” covers about 85% of the domestic market segments, and some laser medical beauty equipment products have achieved import substitution.
As of September 2024, there are 809 medical institutions with medical beauty departments in the city, including 655 medical beauty specialists (14 hospitals, 144 outpatient clinics, and 497 clinics), and 154 other medical institutions with medical beauty departments (37 government-run medical institutions, accounting for 24%). The above-mentioned institutions are mainly concentrated in Nanshan (284), Futian (256), and Luohu (97) three districts, with a total of 637, accounting for 88%.
In 2024, the Shenzhen Center for Disease Control and Prevention (Shenzhen Health Supervision Bureau) launched the “medical beauty avoidance artifact” for citizens – “Shenzhen Medical Beauty Check”. Before undergoing medical beauty treatment, you can open the homepage of the “Shenzhen Health Commission” official account, click on “Medical Beauty Check”, enter the name of the institution you want to go to and the name of the doctor you want to find, and “get a rough idea” first; if you can’t find anything, be wary that it may be a scam.
