The World Congress of Dermatology, often acclaimed as the “Olympics of Dermatology”, carries a prestigious legacy of over 130 years. As the largest and oldest academic conference in international dermatology, it focuses on profound discussions of significant breakthroughs and advancements in dermatology; it represents the latest research achievements and future directions within the field, endeavoring to elevate global skin health standards.
At the conference dedicated to exploring the research and application of home-use beauty devices, Professor Yan Wu from the Department of Dermatology at Peking University First Hospital, presented the medical research and innovation achievements of YA-MAN in the Chinese market as a case study. Together with over 10,000 dermatology experts and physician representatives from more than 180 countries worldwide, they discussed the relationship between home-use beauty devices and dermatology, as well as the value and significance to dermatology.
Professor Yan Wu expressed, “Home-use beauty devices are regarded as valuable assistants by dermatologists due to their various benefits in improving skin aging and other related concerns. The healthy development of this field relies on the in-depth research conducted by dermatologists and pioneering home-use beauty device brands like YA-MAN, who are committed to collaborative research with distinguished doctors and experts.” Such affirmation fully recognizes YA-MAN’s industry leadership position.
During the conference, Kazunori Maeda, Chief Technology Officer of YA-MAN, shared with the experts the exclusive technologies YA-MAN’s Mimic Muscles Research Institute developed. These technologies are grounded in research on diverse racial bone structures and muscles. One notable example is the S16PN circular radiofrequency technology (RF), which effectively stimulates “Collagen” and “Elastin”, thus slowing down the aging process of the dermis. Significantly, this presentation marked the first occasion for YA-MAN to unveil the institute’s cutting-edge research achievements and the latest technological advancements in fundamental skin research.
In addition to technological innovations, YA-MAN maintains a steadfast commitment to exploring cutting-edge technology and new materials; Through collaborations with esteemed Japanese universities and experts, YA-MAN has successfully developed an advanced wearable technology that not only reduces user time and costs but also enables precise and efficient anti-aging effects on facial muscles. It has been revealed that YA-MAN will officially launch this innovative product this year. Looking ahead, YA-MAN will persist in creating home-use beauty devices that integrate photoelectric technology, providing users with the usage experience of these devices closer to skincare products while achieving results comparable to large-scale photoelectric equipment; It will expand into various application scenarios and usher in a new era for home-use beauty devices.
Kimiyo Yamazaki, the CEO of YA-MAN, expressed great gratitude for the opportunity to showcase YA-MAN’s cutting-edge beauty device research in combating skin aging as the first home-use beauty device brand to appear at the WCD. “Engaging in exchanges and learning from the world’s top dermatological experts, we hope this product category will be recognized and endorsed by a broader community of international dermatology experts and scholars in the future,” she added.
YA-MAN has firmly established its roots in beauty technology for nearly 45 years, leading the industry in Asian skin fundamental research and technological innovation in home-use beauty devices. Moving forward, YA-MAN will continue to drive technological breakthroughs and innovations, transforming home-use beauty devices into home-use care tools for safeguarding people’s beauty and skin health.

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 6 July 2023 – What makes AR43 stand out from other architecture firms specialising in contemporary architecture in Singapore is its dedication to designing public spaces that not only align with their surrounding environments but also address the various needs and expectations of users. This commitment is recently reflected in AR43’s latest community project in Southern India – the Karuna Home for the Aged. The Home is due for completion in August and is set to open in November 2023.
The Karuna Home for the Aged consists of 1 administration office, therapy centre, dining hall, and several kitchen/service areas. 2 blocks of dependent and semi-dependent residences and 3 blocks of independent residences will house 28 residents and 8 to 10 live-in nurses, therapists, and doctors. A grand Gompa (Prayer Hall) is an extension of the Home and serves as a dedicated multi-purpose space for residents to gather, retreat and meditate or conduct daily prayers with the Buddhist monks.
With its construction costing approximately 35 million Rupees, which is funded by local and international donors, the Karuna Home for the Aged sits on a 2 acres ( 8,094.0 sqm) site and will follow a comparable design to the Karuna Home for the Disabled, built in 2010. The master planning and architectural design are the pro-bono works by AR43, while the construction is managed by Khube Rinpoche, Founder of the Karuna Home.
The facility will feature a modern vernacular architecture design that allows for passive cooling in the tropical climate, with sheltered circulation corridors lining the compound alongside lush landscapes. A deep overhanging roof will be the centrepiece of the building project, providing proper shelter from rain, sun, and other environmental conditions. Since the roof is made of natural clay roof tiles, it also has the capability to insulate the space below, keeping residents and visitors cool and comfortable throughout the year.
AR43’s focus on the sustainable built environment is enforced through the use of the iconic rusty red laterite stones for the exterior envelopes of the Home. This unique building material is sourced from the local quarry and is abundantly available in India, making it inexpensive, sustainable and recognisable.
Established since 2006, AR43 Architects Pte Ltd has always prioritised being a sustainable and inclusive architecture company in Singapore. All of its designs are based on a synthesis of the location and the program and are specially constructed with physical and emotional understanding in mind. They provide a wide array of services in institutional architecture, hospitality architecture, and even commercial interior architecture. This can only be achieved by the firm’s diversely unique designers and architects, all of whom bring their knowledge, expertise, and creativity to the table.
Similar to the Karuna Home for the Disabled, which was nominated as a Finalist for the Architecture For The Necessity, AR43 is looking for the Karuna Home for the Aged to be recognised as an inspiration for compassionate spaces in the future and a leading example for community design in architecture.
