THE WHAT? BASF is said to be monitoring its fragile gas supply and is ready to cut production further. This follows Russia suspending delivery through its main gas pipeline to Germany, according to a report by Reuters.
THE DETAILS Gas prices have surged as Russia extended a shutdown of Nord Stream 1 – a main gas supply route to Europe.
BASF stated to Reuters that it was ‘bracing for high and volatile gas prices’.
The company is already reducing production of ammonia and sourcing some of its needs from outside of Europe.
THE WHY? Taking to a statement, the chemicals company said, “BASF is monitoring the situation and will decide, depending on the situation, on any changes to the production value chain as appropriate.”
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.
