THE WHAT? Amazon is set to defend its Buy Box in a UK court after law firm Hausfeld & Co named the US e-commerce behemoth as defendant in a suit that alleges the promotional tool breaches UK and EU competition law, according to a report published by The Wall Street Journal.
THE DETAILS A spokesperson for Amazon told The Wall Street Journal that the claim was ‘without merit’ and it was confident that the court would find in its favor. The suit seeks damages of £900 million.
THE WHY? The suit alleges that the company’s practice of ‘promoting offers favorable to Amazon and excluding other sellers’ via this widget manipulates shoppers into purchasing the promoted items, even where cheaper options are available.
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.
