Introduction:
The MediCosme 2025 International Conference on Injectable Medical Aesthetic Technology will take place in Shanghai on November 27–28. The event will focus on regulatory science and quality control for injectables and innovations in materials while exploring advances in delivery systems supporting the development of next-generation minimally invasive aesthetic injectables.
With the publication of common specifications on specific groups of cosmetic products, these product categories have become governed by the EU MDR under a special section named Annex XVI. These products are regulated as if they are medical devices, or medical implants, but with a twist on the expected risk instead of a risk-benefit balance, as the legal presumption is that demonstrating clinical benefit will be difficult for such products. The implementation of the legislation is ongoing.
Gert Bos is invited as an honorable speaker at the conference and will talk about 'Cosmetic products under EU-MDR: Key compliance challenges for EU market access'. This session will explore the essence of the requirements and the state of play of the implementation.
