THE WHAT? ANESSA, Asia’s leading suncare brand, has launched the ANESSA Sunshine Project, a groundbreaking initiative to promote children’s holistic well-being through safe sun exposure.
THE DETAILS Starting in Japan and expanding to 12 Asian countries, the project aims to reach over 300,000 children by 2030 through participatory events, UV education, and support for Xeroderma Pigmentosum patients. These activities are designed to encourage children to enjoy outdoor play while being protected from harmful UV rays.
THE WHY? This initiative underscores ANESSA’s commitment to encouraging outdoor play and lifelong health. By promoting safe sun exposure, ANESSA aims to foster physical, emotional, and intellectual growth in children, aligning with its brand purpose of allowing people to “shine infinitely under the sun.” The project also addresses modern society’s declining outdoor activity among children, promoting a healthier, more balanced lifestyle.
Clinical aesthetics products refer to a category of products used in the field of medical aesthetics or cosmetic dermatology. These products are typically designed and formulated to be used under the supervision of healthcare professionals, such as dermatologists, plastic surgeons, or trained aestheticians. They are distinct from over-the-counter cosmetics in that they often contain active ingredients or formulations that require expertise in their application or administration.
Examples of clinical aesthetics products include:
-
Dermal Fillers: Injectable substances used to add volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Examples include hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm and Restylane.
-
Botulinum Toxin (Botox): Injectables that temporarily paralyze facial muscles to reduce the appearance of wrinkles caused by repetitive movements, such as frown lines and crow's feet.
-
Chemical Peels: Solutions applied to the skin to exfoliate and improve its texture. They can treat acne, pigmentation issues, and signs of aging.
-
Laser and Light Therapies: Devices that emit focused light or laser energy to treat various skin conditions, including acne, scars, and signs of aging.
-
Prescription Skincare Products: Formulations containing active ingredients like retinoids (vitamin A derivatives), hydroquinone, or prescription-strength antioxidants to address specific skin concerns under medical supervision.
