[0002] PHA is a natural biopolymer polyester, and PHA and its degradation products are non-toxic and non-irritating to the human body, and do not cause serious immune rejection and allergic reactions, and have ideal biocompatibility. PHA can be prepared into microspheres and compounded with a matrix as a medical aesthetic filling material, which can not only achieve immediate filling effect, but also continuously stimulate collagen regeneration, and the effect is natural and long-lasting. In the field of medical aesthetics, the morphology of the microspheres is one of the main factors affecting the treatment effect. If the morphology of the microspheres is irregular or the surface is rough, the microspheres have more sharp contact points on the surface, and the microspheres will be recognized by the body as more threatening foreign bodies, resulting in severe and persistent inflammatory reactions, long recovery period, and bringing an undesirable experience to the beauty seekers. In addition, the rough surface will also excessively stimulate macrophages, and will promote immune cells (such as fibroblasts, lymphocytes) to wrap them in layers, forming granulomas or indurations, which are visible to the naked eye if located in the superficial dermis, affecting the appearance. In severe cases, surgery is required to remove them, causing secondary damage to the beauty seekers. The rough surface of the microspheres will also affect the flowability, causing problems such as needle blockage and high injection pushing force, increasing the difficulty of injection for doctors.
[0003] The PHA microspheres prepared by the prior art generally have problems such as surface wrinkles and low roundness. Therefore, there is an urgent need in the art to develop a PHA microsphere with a simple preparation method and a smooth surface, which ensures that the prepared microspheres have ideal use safety and flowability, and are convenient for doctors to inject.

[0108] (2) Calculation of the yield of microspheres with target particle size
[0109] Weigh the target particle size microspheres and waste microspheres obtained by sieving in step (6) of each of the above embodiments and comparative examples. The yield of target particle size microspheres = target particle size microsphere mass / (target particle size microsphere mass + waste microsphere mass). 100%.
[0110] Table 1
[0111]
[0112] The results above indicate that the volatilization and curing temperatures during the preparation of PHA microspheres have a significant impact on the sphere formation rate and surface morphology of the microspheres.
[0113] The microspheres prepared using the methods in Examples 1 and 2 of this application are perfectly spherical with smooth surfaces, uniform particle size, and a high yield of microspheres with the target particle size (20~60μm). When formulated into a preparation, they exhibit good flowability during injection, are less prone to needle clogging, avoid triggering excessive inflammatory responses, have a short treatment recovery period, and demonstrate high safety.
[0114] The results of Comparative Example 1 show that when the evaporation is not carried out under the specific gradient evaporation conditions described in this application, the surface of the microspheres collapses, resulting in noticeable wrinkles. When these microspheres are used as injectable fillers in aesthetic medicine, their rough surface can lead to severe inflammatory reactions, a long recovery period, and a risk of granulomas or nodules. The microspheres also have poor flowability, making them prone to problems such as needle blockage and increased pushing force.
[0115] According to the results of Comparative Example 2, when the temperature during the volatilization stage exceeds the specified range, some microspheres will break and some microspheres will stick together. After solidification in step (5), a lot of fragments will float on the surface of the system. The yield of round microspheres is low, which increases production costs. Even after sieving, there will still be broken and irregular particles and sticky spheres, which will not only cause excessive inflammatory response, but the irregularity of the microspheres will also lead to poor flowability, resulting in problems such as needle blockage and increased pushing force during injection, which increases the difficulty of injection for doctors.
[0116] The results of Comparative Example 3 show that improper curing temperature control, such as exceeding the specified range, can lead to microsphere breakage, resulting in a lower yield of spherical microspheres and increased production costs. Even after sieving, irregular fine particles may still be present. This can not only cause excessive inflammatory responses but also easily lead to problems such as needle blockage and increased pushing force during injection, increasing the difficulty of injection for doctors.
