The move brings Xeomin and Radiesse to China as part of the companyโ€™s broader international expansion.


Merz Aesthetics has launched flagship products Xeomin and Radiesse in China, expanding access to its neuromodulator and dermal filler offerings in the region.

โ€œChina is a key strategic market for our global business, and this milestone reflects our incredible momentum as a category leader,โ€ says Bob Rhatigan, CEO of, Merz Aesthetics, in a release โ€œSince becoming a standalone business in 2020, we have consistently outpaced the growth in our industry, and we remain committed to increasing access to our premium products across the world.โ€

Findings from Merz Aestheticsโ€™ recent Pillars of Confidence Global Study reinforce the cultural embrace of aesthetics in China, with 68% of study respondents saying they have had an aesthetic treatment, versus 35% of U.S. respondents.

โ€œChinaโ€™s medical aesthetics community is rapidly evolving, and we are honored to support customers and their patients with advanced, clinically proven solutions for their dynamic needs,โ€ said Lawrence Siow, president of Merz Aesthetics Asia Pacific, in a release. โ€œOur commitment in China goes beyond products. We invest in education, training, and true partnerships to help practitioners deliver customized results and empower patients to feel confident.โ€

In the United States, Radiesse was first approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in 2006, with Xeomin receiving its first FDA approval in 2010.
