Themed ‘Connecting Skin Science and Health’, the four-day meeting beginning today, takes off in Bordeaux, France. By uniting the finest specialists of European dermatology, the 49th ESDR meeting provides a unique opportunity for Mary Kay to share its latest technological advances and breakthroughs on skin health. The appearance of slackened, sagging skin tends to become prevalent in the fourth or fifth decade of life, regardless of lifestyle or environmental exposure. The constant effect of gravity over time contributes to the emergence of prominent nasolabial folds and sagging skin along the jawline and neck. “As sagging skin is a consumer concern, we developed a treatment product specifically targeted to lift sagging skin,” said Mary Kay Inc chief scientific officer, Dr Lucy Gildea. “Our scientists tested hundreds of materials on human skin cells to identify the most effective combination of ingredients that help promote natural hyaluronic acid and collagen, the two factors that are reduced in slackened skin. Efficacy of the TimeWise Repair® Volu-Firm® Lifting Serum by Mary Kay has been verified in labs and by women themselves on their skin in clinical tests. -- BERNAMA KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 24 -- Mary Kay Inc has partnered United Nations (UN) agencies to launch the Women’s Entrepreneurship Accelerator, a multi-partner initiative designed to inspire, educate and empower women entrepreneurs worldwide.

“XR optics addresses a fundamental deficiency in optical communications technology and is expected to have a significant impact on any network that implements an aggregation function,” said founder and chief innovation officer, Dr Dave Welch. XR optics is engineered to break the inherent limitations of traditional point-to-point optical transmission solutions and paves the way for disruptive network economics and a paradigm shift in transport architectures. Powered by independently routable Nyquist subcarriers and coherent optical aggregation capabilities, XR optics enable network operators to design more efficient, flexible and cost-effective transport networks optimised for the applications driving network growth. With coherent subcarrier aggregation capabilities, XR optics technology enables a single high-speed transceiver to simultaneously send and receive independent data streams to, or from numerous low-speed transceivers. XR optics is designed to be integrated into a variety of form factors, including industry-standard pluggables, from low-speed interfaces with a single subcarrier to high-speed (400G+) interfaces with numerous subcarriers.
