The genuine and authentic Ultherapy can help you be Confidently U this 2022

As the world re-emerges from the challenges of the pandemic, it is time to face brighter days ahead with full confidence. Prepare for those face-to-face meetings, Instagrammable travels, and catch-up sessions with friends by having glowing and youthful skin with the help of safe, trusted, and proven beauty science. The latest trends in aesthetics point to a natural-looking and subtle ‘glow-up’ as they call it on social media. This year, it is all about looking relaxed and rejuvenated as people start to re-enter a more social phase in their lives. 

Global-renowned company Merz Aesthetics, which is best known as the makers of Ultherapy and other aesthetics products like Easy Adapt dermal fillers and Pure anti-wrinkle injections, discusses the latest beauty trends, innovations, and solutions in aesthetic medicine with local experts to help more Filipinos to transition to the new normal of 2022 through the ‘Confidently U’ campaign. 

Merz Aesthetics Philippines General Manager Jorge Libanan says that the campaign is brought by the reinvigorated demand for self-care and enhancements, with more Filipinos looking for ways to look and feel their best as they begin to face the world anew. “We partnered with top aesthetics doctors to talk about trusted treatments that are meant to enhance – not change – one’s beauty, and help more Filipinos know more about how to grow their confidence with the best in aesthetics and skin care technology.” 

 
Dermatologist Dr. Gaile Robredo-Vitas, MD discussed new bespoke skin solutions for different skin needs using Easy Adapt dermal fillers and Pure anti-wrinkle injections, to address the evolving needs skin needs of patients especially after the pandemic restriction have been lifted. “I think skincare has become a trend especially in the last three to five years as more people are becoming aware of the importance of loving the skin. This is evident in the amount of skincare products available out there and in my practice, I now have patients coming to me for consult just because they want me to help them formulate a skincare routine.” 
 
She adds that people are now transitioning to preventive treatments with patients seeking 
dermatological interventions early on rather than having to deal with the signs of skin aging once they’ve formed. “Another thing is that many come to enhance their features, rather than wanting to look like someone else, my patients want to look and be the best version of themselves.” Online personality Kathy Hererra shared her beauty journey. “My eye bags were starting to make me look older than my age, so I consulted with Dr. Robredo-Vitas. I was also curious about Ultherapy® and I asked her how it can help me.” It was through their discussions that she tried out Ultherapy® and she says that she is happy with the results. 

Real Matters 

The Ultherapy® treatment uses microfocused ultrasound imaging to deliver the precise amount of energy needed at the proper depth to ensure the best treatment outcomes when it comes to lifting and tightening skin. Dr. Jonathan Nevin Yu, MD says the Ultherapy® treatment remains as the Gold Standard in non-surgical lifting and skin tightening. “It is U.S. FDA-cleared, non-invasive procedure with real time visualization that lifts the neck, chin and brow, and improves lines and wrinkles on the upper chest. With three treatment tips of varying depths, one can specifically target the essential layers of the skin to achieve superior, natural-looking results that improve over time,” says Philippine Dermatological Society Fellow Dr. Jonathan Yu. “With the ability to see in real-time, your treatment provider can maximize the value of each shot delivered while ensuring safety.” 

To ensure safe Ultherapy procedures, Merz Aesthetic Philippines has likewise taken proactive and stringent measures to counteract the counterfeit treatments that fraudulently use the Ultherapy brand name. It ensures that patients are led to the authentic Ultherapy centers by sharing the different authenticity touch points like the machine emblem, authenticity seal, clinic certificate of authenticity, and patient certificate of authenticity. 
 
The 2022 authenticity certificates were symbolically awarded by Merz Aesthetics® Philippines GM Jorge Libanan and Sales Director Ludovico Perez Jr. to accredited partner clinics in an event held in Peninsula Manila, Makati City last June 23. The event also featured a workshop on marketing via online short-format videos held by digital marketing expert Gian Reyes, in order to help more Filipinos discover the benefits of an authentic Ultherapy treatment.  This is in line with the regional-led Ultherapy authenticity campaign entitled #RealMattersToMe, which aims to call out fake providers, highlight the risks and dangers of getting fake treatments, and ultimately prove why only the genuine and authentic Ultherapy can help you be Confidently U this 2022. 
 
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to beauty and to help Filipinos tailor-fit their aesthetic needs, has also featured its first patient loyalty app called the MASJ Myself App. The app features information about leading beauty treatments and their benefits. For a truly personalized touch, the Face The Journey Beauty Filter shows the effect of different types of enhancing treatments under the Merz Aesthetics® Serendipity Journey® (MASJ), such as the MASJ Enchanting Eyes which refreshes eyes for a desired natural look; MASJ Perfect V that redefines your cheek contour and chin projection; MASJ Flawless Angles for a contoured jawline and lifted chin; MASJ Luscious Lips for fuller and kissable softer lips; and MASJ Alluring Smile that lifts mouth corners for a happier and positive outlook. 
 
The app which is available on the App Store and on Google Play allows users to book an appointment at any of the 16 participating aesthetics centers and earn rewards points for each appointment and referral.

Xiaomi officially unveiled the new Xiaomi 12S Series

Xiaomi officially unveiled the new Xiaomi 12S Series “co-engineered with Leica”. This outstanding imaging product series is the first culmination of the Strategic Partnership in Imaging Technology between Xiaomi and Leica. The entire series features different imaging systems jointly developed by Xiaomi and Leica, containing Leica Summicron lenses, and supports Leica imaging profiles, all of which aim to empower individual creators to express their creativity, while retaining the authentic style of Leica imagery.

 

Authentic Leica imagery, Leica imaging profiles

In this new era of mobile photography, Xiaomi and Leica have jointly created a new standard for smartphone photography. Combining Leica's in-depth understanding of optics, image processing, image quality, and Xiaomi's rich experience in smartphone computing photography, Xiaomi 12S Series “co-engineered with Leica” offers unprecedented smartphone image quality, colors that closely adhere to Leica's signature look and feel. 

In order to help push imaging technology to new limits, Xiaomi and Leica have co-developed sophisticated optical lenses. As the top model, Xiaomi 12S Ultra utilizes Leica's world-class optical design capabilities in its lens system while adhering to their stringent optical quality testing standards and implementing Xiaomi's expertise in miniaturizing components to ensure ultra-high resolution, ultra-high light sensitivity, reduced dispersion, and lower flare.

 

Xiaomi 12S Ultra primary camera adopts an 8P aspheric lens, in order to address common photography issues such as flare, ghosting, and chromatic aberration, the camera module of Xiaomi 12S Ultra also adds anti-glare lens coating, lens edge ink coating, cyclic olefin copolymer material, and infrared light filter with spin coating technology. Together, these features offer a clearer overall picture that is consistent across the lens.

 

In addition to the advanced optical design, Xiaomi 12S Series “co-engineered with Leica” also utilizes Leica imaging profiles, inheriting Leica's century-old image aesthetic and reproducing Leica's tone and aesthetics with the aid of cutting-edge algorithms. For the end user, this means access to two photographic styles: The "Leica Authentic Look" and "Leica Vibrant Look", both offering enhanced creative freedom to the photographer.

 

●      The "Leica Authentic Look" pursues a natural imagery for which Leica is known. By retaining light and shadow contrast, it adds a sense of three-dimensional depth to photos, with the characteristic excellence of Leica's time-proven light and shadow aesthetics. 

●      The "Leica Vibrant Look" features input by both Xiaomi and Leica. Combining Xiaomi's experience in smartphone photography with Leica's leading aesthetic, photographers can strive to capture the emotion of the moment, symbolizing Leica's exploration in the smartphone photography space.

 

Xiaomi 12S Series “co-engineered with Leica” brings authentic “Leica Image Look” to a smartphone. 

 

Professional wide-angle camera with a super-large 1“ sensor 

Xiaomi 12S Ultra is equipped with Sony’s IMX989 1" sensor, implementing a Quad-Bayer pixel array with individual pixel sizes reaching 1.6μm. After pixel binning, this reaches 3.2μm, reducing noise, extending dynamic range, increasing light captured, and achieving overall better imagery in low-light conditions. This sets a new precedent in smartphone cameras, approaching traditional cameras in terms of hardware specifications. 

 

Xiaomi 12S Ultra is the first Android device to support Dolby Vision HDR video recording and playback. Dolby Vision enhances your videos with vivid colors, sharper contrast ratio, and richer details, providing you with vibrant and refined image quality. Xiaomi 12S Ultra uses HyperOIS for ultra-stable performance, offering continuous compensation for movement during video recording. HyperOIS utilizes the gap between two frames to drive the OIS motor to its original position, giving each frame a full effective range of stabilization.

 

Xiaomi 12S and Xiaomi 12S Pro feature Sony’s IMX707 as their primary sensor, which incorporates both a large sensor size and large pixels, at 1/1.28” and 2 and 2.44μm after pixel binning. With the support of Xiaomi AI Image Solution and Xiaomi ProFocus, these sensors achieve fast startup, capture, and continuous capturing. These devices support an industry-leading 30fps ultra-fast burst mode, and exceptional low-light photography capabilities. Further, they also implement All-scene snapshot in their cameras, making it easier to capture the decisive moment.

 

Xiaomi 12S Series “co-engineered with Leica” has also been designed to be more photographer-friendly in post-production. The entire series supports 10-bit RAW format calibrated by Adobe Labs, with color correction metadata embedded in the files. When using Adobe Lightroom to open photos shot on Xiaomi 12S Series, Adobe Camera RAW software will automatically optimize photos based on metadata, providing professional photographers with a good starting point for post-production.

 

One smartphone, two Xiaomi Surge chips

Xiaomi 12S Ultra “co-engineered with Leica” is the first flagship model to be equipped with two proprietary Xiaomi Surge chips, Xiaomi Surge P1 fast-charging chipset and Xiaomi Surge G1 battery management chipset, offering great improvements in battery management and overall user experience.

 

Xiaomi 12S Ultra supports 67W wired fast charging, 50W wireless fast charging and 10W reverse wireless charging. At the core of the Xiaomi Surge Battery Management System, is a 4,860mAh single-cell silicon-oxygen anode battery and Xiaomi Surge P1 fast-charging chipset, which also supports up to a 16A output current with 96.8% conversion efficiency. Furthermore, Xiaomi Surge G1 battery management chipset offers a slew of battery management algorithms, embedding self-developed battery management algorithms to protect the working safety of the battery and monitor the discharge load to accurately predict the available battery life of the device. Xiaomi 12S Ultra also supports adaptive charging to prevent the battery from overcharging thereby increasing the number of charge cycles by 25%.

 

Xiaomi 12S Pro features Xiaomi Surge P1 fast-charging chipset, 120W wired charging, 50W wireless charging, and a 4,600mAh single-cell battery, while the Xiaomi 12S offers 67W wired charging, 50W wireless charging, and a 4,500mAh battery.

 

Flagship Performance, Flagship Display

As Xiaomi's latest flagship, Xiaomi 12S Series “co-engineered with Leica” is powered by the all-new Snapdragon® 8+ Gen 1 Mobile Platform, built on the TSMC 4nm process. Compared to Snapdragon® 8 Gen 1, the core area of Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 is 21% smaller, with both the CPU and GPU receiving a 10% improvement in performance and a 30% improvement in energy efficiency. This not only significantly reduces the standby power consumption of Xiaomi 12S Series, but also allows for lower heat emission and power consumption under high-load computing scenarios.

 

Xiaomi 12S Ultra is equipped with a whole new heat dissipation system, similar to the biological mechanism leaves on a plant may use to absorb water. This three-dimensional cooling pump is ingeniously designed with a series of channels, which use a capillary network to actively pump cooling liquid condensed at the side opposite of warm areas, greatly improving efficiency and increasing the thermal conductivity of a single unit by 100%, compared with traditional VC heat dissipation systems.

 

Xiaomi 12S Ultra and Xiaomi 12S Pro feature a 6.73" AMOLED color display with E5 luminescent material that deliver a professional level of detail, brightness and color performance, in addition to a peak brightness of 1500 nits, 2K resolution, P3 color gamut, and 1-120Hz AdaptiveSync Pro. Xiaomi 12S is slightly more compact at just 6.28”, and also supports P3 color gamut display, HDR10+, and 120Hz AdaptiveSync.

 

Also announced were Xiaomi 12 Pro Dimensity Edition, Xiaomi Book Pro 16, Xiaomi Book Pro 14, Xiaomi Smart Band 7 Pro, and Xiaomi Home WiFi.
