Pretty Beauty Presents: 3 Signature Skincare Treatments for Men

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 1 December 2022 – Keeping skin healthy and vibrant is not just a topic for women, but also an important daily routine for men. Men’s skincare is gradually becoming a hot topic in the city; yet there are only a handful of beauty centres in Hong Kong that focus on men’s skincare. The construction of skin for men and women are different and so should be the skincare treatments on them. While ordinary beauty centres may not be capable of catering both men’s and women’s skincare needs, Pretty Beauty has set up a professional skincare centre for men, launching 3 signature skincare treatments for men to provide targeted skincare procedures.

Skin Rejuvenation:
LDM® Cell Regeneration and Futera Dots Pore Repair

Majority of men’s skin issues are enlarged pores and excessive facial oil. When the cleaning work is not done thoroughly, dandruff, facial oil and dirt will clog the facial pores, resulting in folliculitis, damage of hair follicle, acne and several other skin problems. The lower the vitality of the skin, the more likely different skin problems emerge. Ordinary skin care products and treatments may not be effective for men, because of men’s facial hair and thicker skin, which reduces the absorption capacity.

Pretty Beauty introduces the LDM® Signature Cell Skin Rejuvenation Treatment for men. It is known for the energy alternation output of 1/3/10 MHz, which penetrates deep into the bottom layer of the skin to repair inflamed and damaged cells, and to strengthen collagen production and protein fibre remodelling. Skin is once again energised and vitalized. The LDM® uses German patented ultrasonic technology to perform swift alternation of different ultrasonic frequencies to form the unique LDM® cell regeneration energy, solving problems such as excessive skin oil secretion, dullness, and lack of firmness etc. LDM® also increases the self-healing ability of cells, while boosting metabolism to repair skin problems from the root causes.

In addition, Futera Dots uses 8×8 fractional multi-polar radio frequency to focus on the treatment of imperfections in the skin surface, including uneven skin surface, scars, acne marks, etc. It ceases the damage done to the dermis layer and radically treats fibrotic tissue. It simultaneously stimulates the restructuring of collagen and elastin fibres, resulting in smoother skin and more radiant complexion, achieving the effect of reduced fine lines and pores.

Maintain Youthfulness and Energy: Dual-track Dual-line Simultaneous Output HIFU

Aging should be a process of forging an experienced life, instead of showing experienced traces on the face. Pretty Beauty aims to help the experienced gentlemen get rid of the vicissitudes on the skin and the “unclehood”. Using the 10 Thera dual-linear simultaneous output of HIFU anti-aging treatment, the high-energy focused ultrasound technology infiltrates deeply into the fascial layer (4.5mm) to heat up collagen tissue and dermis layer (3.0mm). It instantly improves the contour of the face, increases the support of the muscle base, and quickly reduces wrinkles, forehead lines and eye lines. Even if you have literally no time for your daily skincare in your busy days, 10 Thera HIFU can consistently maintain contouring, tightening sagging and soothing skin. This is a delicate time-saving and effective antioxidant and anti-aging method for urban men to maintain vitality and youthfulness every day.

Pretty Beauty focuses on the long-term health of our customers with non-invasive and non-traumatic technology. All equipment in the store has internationally recognized standards to ensure hygiene, safety and reliability. We believe that the self-regeneration ability by nature is the key to forge healthy skin.

AH-2E-12 Bifold Constant Torque Hinge

This successful bifold constant torque hinge product line has been expanded to allow for installation in panels as thin as 12mm. The new AH-2E hinges complement the existing AH-2E bifold hinges which were designed for 20mm panels. Many engineers are looking for solutions for thinner panels to reduce the size and weight of their designs.

Southco’s AH-2E Bifold Constant Torque Hinge provides consistent, smooth operation, allowing passengers to safely position fold-out tables on moving vehicles such as trains, airplanes, and motor coaches. Integrated constant torque allows the table to be held in position at any angle, preventing it from falling open while the vehicle is in motion. With improved aesthetics and enhanced reliability, the AH-2E is an ideal upgrade from traditional free-swinging hinges and dampening devices.

With its flush mount design, the AH-2E Bifold Constant Torque Hinge occupies minimal application space and allows a table to be deployed to a secure horizontal position and folded and stowed flat. Constructed of robust materials, the AH-2E delivers reliable, maintenance-free performance and delivers enhanced safety, with its controlled motion preventing trapped fingers and flush design eliminating pinch points along the joint.

Global Product Manager Stewart Beck adds, “The AH-2E Bifold Constant Torque Hinge achieves a new level of safety and performance for fold-out tables in passenger transit applications in the Rail, Bus & Coach and Aerospace industries. With its integrated constant torque technology, the AH-2E provides an upgrade from existing free-operating solutions by enabling controlled motion that keeps the table from falling open onto the passenger’s lap.”

Happy Rainy Days Has Launched the Ultra Water Repellent Umbrella

SINGAPORE Media OutReach – 1 December 2022 – Happy Rainy Days has launched the innovative ‘wet-free’ umbrella which can instantly dry up with just one shake. Creative in its approach, all of Happy Rainy Days’ concepts are designed to indulge and reward the users with unique and enchanting experiences.

Caption

Mira Toray, Super Water Repellent Fabric

Though innovative is a term rarely associated with the humble umbrella, Mira Toray makes Happy Rainy Days’ umbrella canopy fundamentally different from the rest.

Mira Toray is a high-density cloth which has attained the best level in water repellency tests set by the rigorous Japanese industrial standards. The fibers are tightly woven with a special coating on top so it is almost impossible for raindrops to cling on or soak into the fabric, allowing users to knock off every drop of rain in one swing and enjoy an exceptional drainage experience.

Extremely Long-lasting Water Repellency

With dust in the air and grease from human hands, the water-resistancy of conventional umbrellas generally weakens over time. Happy Rainy Days umbrellas have the ability to retain outstanding waterproof performance thanks to its exclusive high-density fibers.

Mira Toray is very unlikely to deteriorate in everyday life. Even after a certain number of uses, its water repellency remains 50x higher than other brands. By not only being able to sustain a high level of water repellency, but also capable of demonstrating lasting durability, It is definitely no exaggeration to say there is by far no other umbrella can compete or compare.

The Lightest Among Other Same-sized Umbrellas

Happy Rainy Days’ HR001 series is the perfect collection of ultra light umbrellas that are specifically designed to offer the greatest protection without adding extra burden.

While other umbrellas typically have 6 to 8 ribs, its manual compact umbrella boasts 6 ribs made from tough but thin carbon fibers. It only weighs 147g and measures 24.5cm in length when folded into its 3D-shaped sleeve, yet still manages to attain a canopy size of 23 inches which is wide enough to cover 2 adults.

Company Profile

Happy Rainy Days is managed by Castle Time Company PTE Ltd. All umbrellas are tested in SGS for non-toxic substances, UV cut level, and water repellant testing, to ensure the safety and reliability before launching to the market.

Over the past 30 years, Happy Rainy Days has been selling over 10 million umbrellas and over 1 million light and water repellent UV cut umbrellas in the world.

It can now be ordered via Shopee.
