GENEVA, SWITZERLAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 20 August 2025 – Luxury skincare J. Bruhin Muller today announced the launch of new concentrated serums and sumptuous crème, formulated with Vitamin B3 NAD+ and skin reviving peptides. These new, supercharged serums and luxurious crème help rejuvenate on a cellular level.
Luxury skincare J. Bruhin Muller introduces new B3 NAD+ Serum.
J. Bruhin Muller’s new B3 NAD+ Collection uses the latest in biotechnology to harness the revitalizing powers of the coenzyme, NAD+, and its precursor, NMN, to help restore function to skin cells. Cellular performance is reinvigorated, significantly slowing the signs of aging and improving skin health. Sapphire-hued blue copper peptides further enhance the essences with their youth-enhancing and skin-renewing properties.
“We have observed that high-end consumers expect to solve skin problems from the root. The global beauty market has a growing demand for Vitamin B3, NAD+ and NMN, and we will promote our products to all parts of the world.” says the spokesperson for J. Bruhin Muller.
Responding to the global demand for dewy and perfect skin, J. Bruhin Muller’s scientists transformed essence nutrients into micro-peptide molecules for superior moisture penetration and oil regulation.
J. Bruhin Muller believes everyone should experience the miraculous confidence that comes with feeling beautiful in one’s skin. They’ve developed three new formulations to enliven skin and spirit:
Youth Activating B3 NAD+ Serum: Enriched with a high-concentration of B3 NAD+ essence, this new serum repairs skin for an instantly brighter and more even tone. It can be applied in the morning and the evening to support cell turnover.
Revitalising Crème: This weightless formula uses polyglumatic acid to infuse skin with long-lasting hydration. Enhanced with light-reflecting properties, this crème delivers a luminous ceramic effect. Inspired by the pearlescent glow of the snow-capped Matterhorn in the Swiss Alps, it brings nature’s ethereal radiance to skin.
AH8 Potent Serum: Using Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, this ampoule essence calms reactive skin to reduce senstivity and bring back its natural healthy texture.
The amazing possibilities for a new breed of skincare are due to J. Bruhin Muller’s use of AI-powered 3D optical skin analysis technology. The 4K high-definition diagnostic device allows clinicians to provide the most personalized regimen of the appropriate products for clients’ best skin ever.
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 20 August 2025 – To address the increasingly diverse medical needs of pet owners in Hong Kong, Veterinary Emergency Centre (VEC) is proud to announce the launch of two major new services: Small Animal Internal Medicine Specialty Service (Internal Medicine) and HomeVet Services, in addition to our existing 24-hour emergency and critical care. This marks VEC’s commitment to providing a one-stop, comprehensive healthcare solution for pets across Hong Kong, ranging from emergency care and advanced diagnostics to in-home palliative support — aiming to be the most trusted guardian of your pet’s health.
VEC has provided 24-hour emergency, critical care, surgery, outpatient, and hospitalization services for pets, supported by a team of experienced and dedicated veterinarians who remain on duty even during adverse weather. The centre is equipped with state-of-the-art medical facilities including operating theatres, intensive care, CT & X-ray Imaging, echocardiography, dental care, endoscopy, blood transfusion, oxygen chambers, and cryotherapy — ensuring precise diagnosis and treatment at critical moments.
Three Core Services for Comprehensive Pet Wellness 1. 24-Hour Emergency Care: Every Second Counts in Safeguarding Lives
As the frontline of veterinary medicine, VEC’s emergency services utilize a highly professional triage system to ensure that pets in critical condition receive prompt attention, maximizing the golden window for life-saving treatment. Our team of veterinarians and nurses is on-site 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and ready to respond immediately to emergencies such as gastric torsion, dystocia, foreign body ingestion, accidental fractures, hematuria, or urinary obstruction, arranging surgery whenever necessary. For pets requiring hospitalization, our dedicated nursing staff provide owners with daily updates, offering reassurance during anxious times.
Posey Leung, VEC Hospital Manager, shares “In veterinary care, our nursing team serves as the eyes and ears of our veterinarians, playing a vital role on the front lines. We continuously monitor the vital signs of hospitalized animals, quickly detect any changes in their condition, and accurately interpret monitoring data. In the emergency department, we gather medical histories, conduct initial assessments and triage, and determine the urgency of each case—all within minutes—to ensure critically ill pets receive the most timely and appropriate care.”
2. Internal Medicine: The “Sherlock Holmes” of Complex Pet Cases
Our newly launched Internal Medicine service is dedicated to tackling complex, chronic, and unexplained cases often referred from other clinics. Acting as the “Sherlock Holmes” of the veterinary world, our internal medicine specialists manage chronic conditions (such as persistent vomiting, diarrhea, and endocrine disorders), severe illnesses (like multi-organ failure or pancreatitis), and other intricate non-surgical diseases.
Fanny Cheung, VEC Assistant Operation Manager, explains “What distinguishes our internal medicine specialists is the time and depth they invest in understanding each pet’s medical history. We allocate up to one hour for every consultation, enabling thorough communication between the veterinarian and the owner to craft a highly personalized treatment plan and significantly improve the pet’s quality of life. Importantly, our specialist Dr. Koo is fluent in both Cantonese and English, allowing for direct, seamless communication with owners, removing language barriers and ensuring more accurate diagnoses.”
3. HomeVet Services: Reducing Stress with Care in a Familiar Environment
To meet the growing demand for flexible care, VEC has introduced HomeVet Services, bringing professional veterinary care directly to pets in the comfort of their own homes.
“Housecall services have become increasingly popular in recent years, as they effectively reduce the anxiety pets may experience in unfamiliar settings. This approach is especially beneficial for pets with mobility challenges or larger breeds, allowing them to receive care without the stress of travel. It also offers great convenience for households with multiple pets.” Fanny shares.
“By visiting pets at home, our veterinarians can gain a more complete understanding of their daily environment and habits, making it easier to identify potential health risks such as environmental allergens or unsafe toys. When a pet reaches the end of its life, we can also provide in-home palliative care, ensuring a peaceful farewell surrounded by family in familiar surroundings. Most importantly, if further diagnostics or intensive care are needed, pets can be seamlessly transferred to VEC’s 24-hour hospital, where our expert team provides continuous monitoring and advanced treatment.” Fanny adds.
VEC remains committed to ongoing investment in resources, combining a skilled professional team, state-of-the-art facilities, and compassionate service to provide Hong Kong’s pet community with the most trusted and reliable medical support.
Scope of Services: Provide 24-hour emergency, hospitalization services and veterinary housecall services. Offering professional support for urgent situations at any time.
Veterinary Emergency Centre (Davis Street) Address: Shop C & H, G/F, Luen Gay Apartments, No. 9A-9C Davis Street, Kennedy Town, Hong Kong.
Scope of Services: Internal Medicine Specialty Service, a full range of surgical and orthopedic procedures as well as outpatient consultations.

SINGAPORE, Aug. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Miss Chen’s Science Tuition proudly commemorates its 10th anniversary this year, marking a decade of dedicated support for students navigating the challenges of science education. Since its establishment in 2014, the science tuition centre in Ang Mo Kio has guided students across secondary and A-Level levels with a results-driven approach, helping them build a strong foundation in Chemistry, Physics and Biology. To date, the centre has celebrated high distinction rates among secondary students and A-Level students, a testament to its commitment to academic excellence.
The centre’s teaching model is built on the principle of small group learning, which has become increasingly important in an environment where large class sizes often lead to surface-level teaching. Unlike some tuition centres that rely on mass lecture formats, Miss Chen’s Science Tuition ensures that each class is kept intentionally small to maintain high-quality, personalised instruction. This allows the pace of learning to be adjusted to the needs of each group, giving students the space to clarify doubts, reinforce core concepts, and build confidence. Through consistent feedback and close student-teacher interaction, students are better able to develop analytical skills and exam readiness.
Over the past decade, Miss Chen’s Science Tuition has observed how students can struggle in large group tuition settings, where they are often lost in the crowd and reluctant to raise questions. Many centres face difficulty offering personalised support due to high enrolment and fixed-paced lesson plans. In contrast, Miss Chen’s Science Tuition Centre was designed to prioritise quality over quantity, ensuring that each student receives focused attention. By staying attentive to individual progress and adapting teaching methods where necessary, the centre helps students overcome learning gaps and achieve meaningful improvement.
Founded by Miss Chen, a former educator with deep experience in science instruction, the centre specialises in secondary sciences, JC H2 Chemistry tuition, and Physics tuition. It was established with the goal of providing students with a more effective and responsive learning environment. Since then, it has grown steadily through strong word-of-mouth and consistent results. As it marks 10 years of academic service, Miss Chen’s Science Tuition remains committed to nurturing each student’s potential, adapting to evolving curriculum demands, and upholding its promise of personalised, impactful science education. With a decade of proven success, the centre looks forward to continuing its role in shaping confident and capable science learners.
