Pretty Beauty Introduces the Latest Trending Korean Beauty Device

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 8 June 2023 – The technological development and introduction of Hong Kong’s beauty industry is comparatively slower than that of other countries – many of the latest beauty technologies are often introduced in Hong Kong beauty salons only after a considerable period of time. In recent years, the most popular “pore reduction” and “whitening” treatments in Hong Kong will often be carried out by beauty equipment with high-energy output, and the desired results can be achieved after the completion of the treatment. However, the skin texture may slowly wane and age with time and the number of treatments.

With the observation on the stagnant development of the industry, Pretty Beauty introduced the LDM skin cell regeneration treatment of the latest trending beauty device in Korea: The LDM® Skin Cell Regeneration Device developed by Germany. Using the latest beauty technology to stimulate cell regeneration from the root, the treatment recovers damaged cells while simultaneously firming the skin, smoothing wrinkles, and restoring elasticity. In around 28 days, the skin rejuvenates, and youth is restored.

The Mega Hit in the Korean Beauty Industry

LDM® (“Local Dynamic Micro-Massage”) Skin Cell Regeneration Device is a new generation of beauty device developed by Wellcomet Technology in Germany, combining the three principles of thermal energy, biochemistry, and kinetic energy. With the rapid alternation of different ultrasonic frequencies, it regulates the decomposition of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), enhances the production of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and heat shock proteins (HSPs). Lymphatic and blood circulation are improved, making the skin naturally filled. This is currently the most trending beauty treatment in Korea. It has gone viral and can be easily found on different social platforms with reviews and recommendations. And now it is brought to you by Pretty Beauty, leading the latest beauty technology to Hong Kong’s beauty industry.

A Completely Painless German Beauty Technology

In the past, there is certain level of pain during the beauty treatments, and some high-energy beauty treatments, such as HIFU, which may cause mild damage, redness and swelling of the skin for a certain period of time. The biggest feature of LDM Skin Cell Regeneration Device is that it is completely painless, non-invasive, able to deeply penetrate to the skin without any side effects. The redness and swelling after treatment are minimum, and the treatment is highly compatible with other beauty treatments. Along with high-intensity beauty treatment, the LDM® Skin Cell Regeneration treatment facilitates the recovery of cells damaged due to high energy treatment, while maintaining cell health and vitality. Different skin problems can be resolved fundamentally.

New Technology; New Energy to the Industry

With the substantial number of beauty salons in Hong Kong and the constant influx of new joiner into the industry, while lagging to other countries in the level of beauty technology, Pretty Beauty’s vision is to continuously introduce new beauty technology and equipment, leading Hong Kong’s beauty industry to the next level.

Global economic uncertainty triggers risk aversion , Rare Trader’s Professional training helps investors deploy correctly

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 7 June 2023 – As the banking crisis in the US intensifies in recent months, gold has become a popular investment choice in East Asia. Rare Trader, a veteran investment education provider, has been working hard to revolutionize this misconception and has decided to launch a new online investment training course in the second half of 2023, in the hope that more people will be properly informed about the concept of gold investment and be prepared to hedge against a possible global economic downturn this year.

Rare Trader Henry Sir

Given the increased volatility in the international financial markets since last year, market sentiment has shifted towards safe-haven investment instruments, with gold being one of the most popular choices. However, gold investments have been relatively less popular among Hong Kong people in recent years, and this is due to misconceptions about gold investments. The root of the problem is that in Hong Kong and other Asian countries such as Malaysia and Taiwan, there have been instances where brokers have induced investors to agree to authorize brokers to operate their accounts through trading “Loco London Gold ” and then speculate wildly to earn commissions, causing investors to suffer losses.

To avoid this trend, Rare Trader, an investment education provider, reminds investors to adopt the right attitude when entering the market and not to entrust their investment operations to third parties. According to the institute, gold is the most heavily traded market in the world, and its charts are logical and reflect the market’s investment trends, so it takes a long period of study and analysis to gain insights. Rare Trader urges the public not to think that “gold investment” is like “London Gold”, as the latter is a non-physical form of market trading that originated in London, hence the name, and to avoid falling prey to the Loco London Gold scams that have repeatedly occurred in Hong Kong in the past.

Since its inception in 2017, Rare Trader has been providing training to students and companies from all walks of life through videos, live broadcasts and blog posts on various social media platforms, attracting over 1,500 students. This year, he was awarded the “Outstanding Investment Analysis Teaching Award” by an industry body as a token of appreciation. In the face of the uncertain global economic outlook, Rare Trader will launch a new online course in the second half of the year, to correct misconceptions and enable more people to understand the practicalities of real investment, as well as guiding students to prepare for the potential risks of asset devaluation in Hong Kong or Asia, so that too many people in the community do not make fatal mistakes in their haste to enter the market.

Lumen Technologies Partners with KnowBe4 to Address Growing Need for Cybersecurity Awareness in APAC Organisations

New Managed Security Awareness Service will help strengthen ‘human firewalls’ in organisations by training and preparing employees for cybersecurity risks

SINGAPORE/AUSTRALIA – Media OutReach – 7 June 2023 – Lumen Technologies (NYSE: LUMN), a leading global provider of cloud computing platform and solutions, has partnered with KnowBe4,the provider of the world’s largest security awareness training and simulated phishing platform, to help Asia Pacific (APAC) organisations expand cyber awareness and build an end-to-end security culture.

This new partnership allows Lumen to expand its suite of security solutions, by introducing Cybersecurity Security Awareness Training and Phishing Test Campaigns as a Managed Service. This is in line with Lumen’s thorough approach to cybersecurity and real-time threat intelligence underpinned by the company’s ‘See More, Stop More’ principles.

As part of Lumen’s Managed Security Awareness Service, Lumen customers will have access to expanded cybersecurity training capabilities combined with simulated phishing test campaigns to identify gaps in security knowledge. Additionally, in-depth compliance reports and follow-up recommendations, enhancing the organisation’s security posture through data-led risk assessments will also be provided.

“Amidst evolving cyber threats, organisations are increasingly exposed to risks like phishing, social engineering, DDoS attacks, and ransomware. In the APAC region, human errors have been the primary cause of cyber attacks. Recognising that people are the last line of defence, Lumen and KnowBe4 have joined forces to reinforce enterprises’ ‘human firewall’ through regular employee education on risk awareness and vigilance,” said Cheah Wai Kit, Senior Director, APAC Products and Practices, Lumen Technologies.

“This partnership enables Lumen customers to access a variety of cyber security awareness training content and phishing tests. With Lumen’s industry leading security credentials, advisory services and advanced threat detection expertise, combined with KnowBe4’s integrated security awareness training platform, we help protect organisations and proactively reduce cyber risks. Equipped with robust metrics and data-led strategies, Lumen helps our customers in the region to develop a structured cybersecurity awareness program and robust compliance standards across their entire organisation,” Wai Kit added.

As a region with rapid digitalisation, several markets across APAC have recently made headlines due to cybersecurity incidents and data breaches. However, increased cybersecurity knowledge and awareness training remains key in ensuring users do not fall victim to phishing attempts. Recent research by KnowBe4 revealed that after one year or more of security awareness training combined with frequent simulated phishing tests, the Phish-proneTM Percentage of users in APAC organisations dropped from 34.5% to only 5.4%.

“We’re thrilled to work with Lumen Technologies in APAC to deliver KnowBe4’s security awareness training and simulated phishing platform to even more organisations across the region,” said Tony Jennings, EVP of international and global channel sales, KnowBe4. “This new partnership will introduce more occasions to help organisations better manage the ongoing problem of social engineering. Beyond that, a greater impact will also be made on customers as we work together with Lumen Technologies to further secure the human firewall, as well as other platform defences through Lumen’s comprehensive suite of security solutions. This is an exceptional opportunity to help drive real behaviour change to ultimately enhance security culture.”

Lumen’s enhanced Managed Security Awareness Service has been designed to protect organisations and employees from falling victim to phishing attacks. The program also provides a structured and compliant way to deliver security awareness training with intelligent tracking and reporting, ensuring increased assurance to cyber insurance providers.
