Allergan bullish on medical aesthetics prospects in China

Ireland-headquartered Allergan Plc is stepping up efforts to make inroads into China's booming medical aesthetics market with the opening of its first consumer experience center - Allergan Beauty Lab in Chengdu, Southwest China's Sichuan province.

The Chengdu lab, Allergan's first physical experience center in the world, will enhance consumers' knowledge about qualified products, as well as institutions in the medical aesthetics industry. It will also provide free facial, skin and body assessments, besides offering tips on how to make faces prettier, as well as how to maintain a good body shape.

"The beauty lab is part of Allergan's strategy to promote sustainable development of the medical aesthetics industry in China, and is expected to become a pioneering education base for the industry as well as the vast group of consumers," said Jason Smith, senior vice-president of Allergan and president of Allergan in the Asia-Pacific, Middle East and African region.
