THE WHAT? Shiseido has been named among the companies with the highest percentage of female directors in fiscal 2021, according to a report published by nippon.com. Women account for 46.2 percent of the J-beauty firm’s directors, placing it in 8th position. C’Bon Cosmetics was ranked 10th with 44.4 percent.
THE DETAILS Indeed, the number of female directors in Japan has hit an all-time high; a survey carried out by Tokyo Shoko Research calculated the number of women in the coveted senior role across 3,795 companies at 3,575 in fiscal 2021, up 21.5 percent on the prior year.
Overall, women account for 9 percent of all directors, up from 7.4 percent in fiscal 2020. Just seven firms have reached parity with 50 percent or more female directors and some 40 percent of the listed companies had no female directors.
THE WHY? Nippon.com says that market pressure is behind the increase in female directors with Tokyo Stock Exchange mandating diversity via its Corporate Governance Code and investors demanding more from the companies they invest in.
Injectable aesthetics are popular due to their ability to provide noticeable results with minimal downtime compared to surgical procedures. They are versatile and can be tailored to meet individual aesthetic goals, whether it's enhancing lips, restoring facial volume, or smoothing out wrinkles. However, they should always be administered by qualified professionals to ensure safety and achieve optimal results.
Injectable aesthetics are used to enhance facial features, reduce the signs of aging, and improve overall facial symmetry and appearance.
Key types of injectable aesthetics include:
-
Dermal Fillers: These injectables are used to add volume, fill in wrinkles and folds, and enhance facial contours. They often contain substances like hyaluronic acid, collagen, or calcium hydroxylapatite, which help plump up the skin and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles.
-
Botulinum Toxin (Botox): Botulinum toxin injections temporarily relax facial muscles that cause wrinkles and lines to form. It is commonly used to treat forehead lines, frown lines between the eyebrows, and crow's feet around the eyes.
-
Collagen Stimulators: These injectables stimulate the body's own collagen production, helping to improve skin texture and firmness over time. Examples include poly-L-lactic acid (Sculptra) and calcium hydroxylapatite (Radiesse).
-
Neurotoxin Injections: Besides Botox, other neurotoxins such as Dysport and Xeomin are used similarly to reduce wrinkles and lines.
