Mead Johnson Nutrition’s Cross-sector Formula Cans Recycling Program Claims Silver for ‘Best PR Campaign – Sustainability’ at PR Awards 2021
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 30 September 2021 – Mead Johnson Nutrition Hong Kong’s (“Mead Johnson”) city-wide formula cans recycling program with cross sector cooperation, was recognized at MARKETING-INTERACTIVE’s PR Awards 2021, receiving the Silver award in the ‘Best PR Campaign – Sustainability’ category.
Mead Johnson Nutrition (Hong Kong) Limited receives the Silver award in the ‘Best PR Campaign – Sustainability’ category at PR Awards 2021.
To encourage Hong Kong citizens to lead greener lives, Mead Johnson launched “We CAN Protect the Future” Formula Cans Recycling Program in 2021. Created in partnership with 24-hour online shopping mall, HKTVmall under Hong Kong Technology Venture Company Limited (“HKTVmall”) and the World Green Organisation (“WGO”), the program aims to raise awareness among the public on the importance of recycling and urge parents to safeguard the future of their children by taking immediate actions to protect the environment and be the role models of green living.
The Program offered consumers access to a reliable channel for recycling their used formula cans at the six collection points at HKTVmall O2O Shops across the city. The WGO also provided expert guidance and insights to ensure all collected cans are properly handled and recycled. To ensure proper storage and transportation of all collected cans, all cans were transported by a specialized delivery team to a local recycling plant. The cans were then destructed and shipped to another facility for further processing. Molten metal will be recycled into raw metal materials for different purposes. Over 1,500 clean formula cans were collected within 20 days to preserve useful metal resources to reduce waste and protect our environment. Mead Johnson is also planning to launch the second phase of the program to encourage the public to build recycling habits, and hence create a cleaner, healthier world together.
“Mead Johnson has been providing parents with high-quality nutrition products. Apart from that, it also works hand in hand with consumers to safeguard the environment. In valuable partnership with HKTVmall and the WGO, we provided an accessible, reliable and trusted recycling method through the recycling program to protect the environment with parents together,” said Mr. Pankaj Agarwal, General Manager, Hong Kong, Taiwan & Cross-Border of Mead Johnson Nutrition (Hong Kong) Limited. “It’s an honour to be recognised for our ongoing efforts and we are motivated to continue making a positive difference in the community, guided by Mead Johnson Nutrition’s mission of empowering parents to nourish the best start in life.”

ONLY Aesthetics Launches New Aesthetics Treatment ONLYCOOL® – The World’s First And Only Cryo Plasma Technology
SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 30 September 2021 – ONLY Aesthetics (All About Aesthetics Pte Ltd), the largest multi-award-winning aesthetics group in Singapore, recently launched the world’s first and only cryo plasma technology, ONLYCOOL®.
ONLY Aesthetics was founded to fill the void in the medical industry and provide aesthetic treatments that were not readily available in Singapore. The aesthetics group proudly invests in state-of-the-art technology to provide the highest performing treatments to get the best results for its clients. Hence, in addition to a medical aesthetics company, ONLY Aesthetics is also considered a technology company by its co-founders.
This focus on technology has allowed the aesthetics group to provide FDA-approved medical aesthetics treatments and secure several exclusive distributor rights for the latest medical aesthetic technology in order to achieve the best results for its clients.
One of its latest treatments is ONLYCOOL®, a non-invasive and non-painful aesthetic treatment for the face. Utilising the world’s first and only cryo plasma technology, ONLYCOOL® improves skin texture and pigmentation.
It treats a variety of conditions ranging from acne scarring, wrinkles and fine lines to moles, warts and polyps. This cryo plasma technology is also able to treat stretch marks and eye lifting, and tighten up flabby and loose skin while increasing skin’s elasticity and collagen production, with minimal skin damage.
ONLYCOOL® serves as an alternative to existing treatments such as CO2 Lasers and Fractionals treatment which are increasingly obsolete due to their invasive and painful natures, and their tendency to cause hyperpigmentation (a condition that may take up to 24 months to clear up, if it is not permanent).
Besides ONLYCOOL®, ONLY Aesthetics also provides a variety of treatment programs such as hair removal, face, eyes, and body treatments, as well as pain recovery and doctor treatments.
The aesthetics group has been recently awarded 4 awards at the Daily Vanity Spa & Hair Awards 2021, namely Best Innovative Treatment, Best Hydration Facial, Best Brightening/Whitening Facial Treatment and Best IPL Salon.
More information on ONLYCOOL® can be found at https://onlyaesthetics.sg/services/onlycool/.

This is testified by its raving reviews on Google and Facebook and the multiple awards and accolades it has received over the past 15 years in the aesthetics industry.

Orient Europharma Launches Two Premium Skin Boosters Aimed to Deliver the Diamond Feel Skin® Result to Consumers
KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach – 30 September 2021 – The term “Working from Home” is no longer foreign to us as we have pivoted quickly to adapt to this new working lifestyle since early last year. With the increased usage of video conferences for virtual meetings and gatherings, it is important that we pay extra attention to our complexion and the condition of our skin now more than ever.
Many people are finding different solutions to achieve flawless skin and to boost confidence at the same time. Understanding this, Orient Europharma Malaysia (OEP MY) is excited to introduce two Premium skin boosters into aesthetic market – the Diamond Feel Forte and Dermal Sign E+. Developed in Korea, these products are loved by celebrities and K-pop stars alike and have been listed in more than 20 countries worldwide as the number one choice of skin booster brand. Malaysian can now also enjoy flawless much like our favourite K-Pop stars. The products are administered by aesthetic doctors as a combination treatment for up to three to four sessions with an interval of two weeks. After completion of the treatment, skin will appear plumper, brighter, more hydrated and has a rejuvenated effect that gives out a diamond-like aura.
Diamond Feel Forte contains 67 active ingredients and is a total solution for skin problems. It delivers the most optimal results for improving moisturization and fine lines by using semi cross-linked hyaluronic acid. Scars are healed using plant stem cells extract and Polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN), which is a DNA extracted from salmon and can accelerate the healing process of skin. Skin condition is boosted using booster collagens by growth factors, peptides and amino acids. By using Diamond Feel Forte, clinical studies have shown that the product boosts collagen production by 256% and is able to perform healing effects by 78% after three days of the first treatment, while increasing skin moisturizing by 215%, decreasing inflammatory factors by 53% and inhibiting aging factors by 71.6% after six days of the first treatment. With three to four sessions of the treatment, skin will exude a diamond-like glow.
Dermal Sign E+ is a semi cross-linked hyaluronic acid based intensive solution that helps develop outstanding and long-lasting brightening effects for those who are looking for a clearer complexion and pigmentation free skin. This product contains triple brightening ingredients such as glotathione (a water-soluble ingredient), tranexamic acid (a brightening ingredient mainly used in medicine for the therapy of pigmentation) and AA2G (anti-oxidant effect of stabilized Vitamin C). Clinical data shows that Dermal Sign E+ helps reduce the production of melanin (pigmentation) better than Arbutin (a cosmeceutical that fades hyperpigmentation) in a brightening effect test. DermalSign E+ reduces the figure of tyrosinase by 59.5% after the first treatment. Tyrosinase is responsible for the first step in melanin production, thus reducing tyrosinase will significantly improve the appearance of dark spots (pigmentation, melasma, chloasma).
“I am thrilled to introduce these two excellent products to consumers and aesthetic doctors in Malaysia. Treatments using the Diamond Feel Forte and Dermal Sign E+ are only available at authorized aesthetic clinics, where trained professional aesthetic doctors and consultants will advise clients for the best treatment plan based on the condition of their skin. Both newly launched products have been scientifically tested, safe, effective and Muslim-friendly. Clients will be able to notice a smoother and brighter complexion after only three to four times of treatments,” says Head of Anti-aging Business of Orient Europharma Malaysia, Ms Iris Lin.
TV host, actress and radio DJ Linda Onn is the first celebrity to try out Diamond Feel Forte and DermalSign E+ combination treatment. “As a public figure, appearance is very important. In the past, we have assistants to ensure that we are presentable at all times but with the ongoing pandemic, things have been changing. Being a mother to a young child also keeps me on my toes and I may have also neglected my skin a little bit. I was given the opportunity to try the new treatment and after only a month of treatment, my complexion is now more radiant, youthful and hydrated,” commented Linda.
The Diamond Feel Forte and DermalSign E+ combination treatment requires three to four sessions in two-week intervals, with a maintenance period of every six months based on skin conditions. The treatment is priced at RM 2,500 for each session and consumers can get a discounted package price for RM 6,000 for four sessions (total saving of RM 4,000). The combination treatment is now available at Sliq Clinic, Xeoul Clinic, Nextmed Clinic, X Infinity Clinic, Lara Clinic, Yuri Clinique, Dr Nazelia Clinic, B&Co Clinic, Klinik Dia Raissa, Klinik Dr Diana, Bright Clinic, M Touch Clinic, Cellesis Clinic, Calla Aesthetic, Infinity Clinic by Dr Nadz, Regalion Clinic, Kaiteki Clinic, Anggun Medi-Klinik and other authorized aesthetic clinics. Come to your aesthetic doctors to experience the secret of Diamond Feel skin® of K-pop stars!
