IRVINE, Calif. --SBC Medical Group Holdings Incorporated (Nasdaq: SBC) (“The Company” or “SBC Medical”), a Medical Services Organization (MSO) providing management support across a wide range of healthcare fields, today announced that Dr. Ayano Okuda of Shonan Beauty Clinic Shinjuku Main Branch, a clinic that receives management support from the Company, presented research findings at the international medical conference “ASLS Bangkok 2026,” held in Bangkok, Thailand, on September 2 and 3, 2026.
ASLS (Aesthetic Surgery & Laser Society) is an international medical conference originating from South Korea that brings together experts across a wide range of aesthetic healthcare fields, including aesthetic dermatology and aesthetic surgery, to share cutting-edge clinical insights and techniques. At “ASLS Bangkok 2026,” Dr. Okuda reported her clinical experience and latest findings on applying polynucleotides (PN)*, which have mainly been used in facial treatments, to aesthetic gynecology. She also engaged in active discussions with doctors, researchers, and other participants from many countries.
*Polynucleotides (PN): High-molecular-weight components derived from salmon DNA. With a viscous, three-dimensional structure, they are thought to act as a scaffold that supports tissue within the skin, and are used in injectable treatments aimed at improving skin texture and firmness.
As technological innovation continues to accelerate in the field of aesthetic healthcare, the importance of knowledge sharing and academic collaboration, beyond the clinical setting alone, has grown considerably. Meeting the increasingly diverse needs of customers requires not only the adoption of advanced techniques, but also broad perspectives and flexible thinking. SBC Medical remains committed to advancing cutting-edge initiatives through academic activities and international exchanges with research institutions, and to upholding the safety, transparency, and enduring value of aesthetic healthcare.
