Hong Kong Seizes Injectable Skin Booster Made from Donated Human Tissue

Hong Kong Seizes Injectable Skin Booster Made from Donated Human TissuePreviousNext

Hong Kong authorities raided four beauty salons and seized vials of Elravie Re2O, a South Korean injectable skin booster made from freeze-dried human tissue donated by deceased Americans. The product, distributed by Humedix, lacks regulatory approval under Hong Kong's Human Organ Transplant Ordinance and has not been registered as a pharmaceutical product. Medical experts have raised concerns about its safety, potential contamination, and unproven skin benefits. A woman was arrested for possession and commercial dealing of the product amid ongoing safety scrutiny.
