THE WHAT? China’s Hainan island province has put further areas on lockdown this week following a new outbreak of COVID-19, according to a report by Reuters.
THE DETAILS The area has recorded 1500 domestically transmitted infections this month, which is its biggest outbreak since the virus was reported in 2019.
Hainan’s curbs mirror China’s ‘dynamic COVID-zero’ policy that aims to stamp out cases immediately, a strategy that is said to cause travel uncertainty.
THE WHY? The uptick in cases is said to come as tourism starts to pick up in China, with the country slightly loosening domestic travel curbs.
The new curbs are suggested to further dampen confidence in tourism and hospitality. Shares in China Tourism Group Duty Free fell following the lockdowns, with Sanya beginning to close duty-free malls last week.
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.
