Singapore Aesthetic Clinic Launched New Sylfirm X Anti-Aging Treatment

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 29 September 2021 – Korean aesthetic clinic, Dream Aesthetics & Plastic Surgery Singapore, is proud to announce the arrival of Sylfirm X, a Dual Wave Radio Frequency (RF) Micro-Needle System devised in Silicon Valley, USA.

Using a combination of 4 Pulsed and 4 Continuous Wave modes with 12 energy levels, there are 96 possible treatment settings to cater to a myriad of skin concerns. Sylfirm X is clinically and technologically proven to help with melasma, active acne, acne scars, enlarged pores, skin brightening, skin lifting, wrinkles, stretch marks, facial veins, and rosacea.  This versatile treatment is also suitable for all skin tones and types.

“The versatility of Sylfirm X allows a greater level of customization for each treatment. In each session, multiple settings can be adjusted to cater to specific skin conditions. The treatment helps patients to realise holistic skin improvements within a shorter time. “, says Dr. Vincent Yeow, Medical Director of Dream Aesthetics & Plastic Surgery.

Unlike traditional RF treatments, the ultrafine gold micro-needles deliver fractionated RF to target skin tissues across three dermal layers. It is clinically proven to be effective for stubborn skin conditions such as melasma, which are traditionally treated only with lasers. Studies have also shown Sylfirm X treatments to improve stubborn melasma conditions by 50% or more.

Another feature of Sylfirm X is its precision targeting, which ensures that the intended micro damages are restricted to the treatment sites only, reducing unnecessary trauma to the surrounding skin. This greatly reduces pain during treatment, enabling patients to receive the full benefit of the treatment without compromising on treatment settings for result efficacy.

Medical Doctor, Dr. Wong C.H says, “In fact, patients’ feedback is that there is no pain during treatment, and they love the fact that their treatments involve no or minimal down-time. For what this device does and what it replaces, we hope to deliver better rejuvenation results to all our patients who are seeking to improve the quality of their skin.”

HPE (Aruba and Silver Peak) Positioned as a Leader in 2021 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for WAN Edge Infrastructure Report

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 28 September 2021 – Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company (NYSE: HPE), today announced that Gartner has recognized HPE (Aruba and Silver Peak) as a Leader in the 2021 Gartner Magic Quadrant for WAN Edge Infrastructure. This is the fourth year in a row that HPE (Aruba and Silver Peak) has been positioned in the Leaders Quadrant by Gartner.

In the Magic Quadrant for WAN Edge Infrastructure report, Gartner evaluated 15 vendors based on two primary criteria: Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute. The report includes a summary of each vendor, as well as an assessment of each vendor’s strengths and cautions.

 

According to Gartner, “This market continues to migrate from traditional branch routers (often called ‘customer edge routers’ in a Multiprotocol Label Switching implementation) used to connect branch locations to the data center to SD-WAN with a more-decentralized architecture and cloud workloads. SD-WAN is widely replacing edge routers and adding application aware path selection across multiple links, centralized orchestration and native security, as well as other application performance optimization functions (such as WAN optimization).”

“Aruba’s SD-WAN portfolio allows organizations of all sizes across all industries to address a broad set of use cases, wherever they may be on their digital transformation journey,” said Fiona Siu, Hong Kong & Macau Director and General Manager at Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company. “We believe being named a Leader four years in a row serves as further validation that our edge-to-cloud approach is solid and can support enterprises as they adapt to compete in a highly dynamic business environment.”
