Merz Pharma unveils the pure truth on anti-ageing therapies on 110th anniversary

L-R (Dr David Chang, Sonja Sattler, Manju Garg)

Mumbai – Monday, 19 March 2018 – Merz Pharma, an international healthcare company specializing in the fields of dermatology, neurology and metabolic disorders today celebrated its 110th anniversary. Merz is a global leader in the pharmaceutical industry headquartered at Frankfurt, Germany.

Merz anniversary celebration event was to align everyone to the fact that Merz Pharma completes 110 years, Merz India completes 3 years and Merz India has all the products for the Indian doctors to achieve the most well-proportioned face in people and making them more beautiful. Mr. Raymond Ong, Regional commercial director-Merz APAC, Dr David Chang, Senior manager-Merz medical affairs, Manju Garg, Country Head-Merz India, Archana Kochhar, celebrity fashion designer and Noorin Sha who is an actor, last seen in the movie ABCD and who has facial measurements as per the golden ratio were a part of the celebration. Dr Sonja Sattler, a doctor from Germany who has wide experience in using botulinum toxins and finds merit in the use of PURE incobotulinum toxin i.e. Xeomin was the guest of honour.

The event also showcased a wide-ranging portfolio of aesthetic products offered by Merz India which includes Ultherapy, the only U.S. FDA-cleared non-invasive skin lifting and tightening ultrasound device, Xeomin (IncobotulinumtoxinA), Belotero (hyaluronic acid dermal filler) that enables physicians in India to meet the aesthetic needs of patients. “Ulthera has more than 1 million users globally” says Manju Garg, country head, Merz India.

The pure truth of anti-ageing therapies was unveiled at the celebration with 4 key messages about Xeomin:

Truly effective treatment performance: XEOMIN results are clinically proven. Efficacy and safety is well established and significant improvements are seen when the treatment is used for glabellar lines.

Highly purified: Xeomin is a botulinum neurotoxin uniquely free from complexing proteins thus providing the lowest possible risk of antibody formation. The unique manufacturing process of Xeomin removes complexing proteins which are not needed for therapeutic effect. Xeomin is distinct from other products as Xeomin is a purified neurotoxin which does not come with complexing proteins. Complexing proteins are foreign proteins, with the potential to stimulate neutralising antibodies. These neutralising antibodies act against the neurotoxin and may result in partial or complete treatment failure. This assumption is backed by recently released clinical data as in aesthetic practice, secondary treatment failure is being recognized more frequently. Five practices reported cases of treatment failure linked to neutralising antibody formation after the administration of conventional botulinum toxin containing complexing proteins. Thus, choosing a neurotoxin free from complexing protein provides low risk

More than a decade of trust and value: US FDA approved.

Highly stable – This is an added advantage for the physicians since there is no need for refrigeration for shipping and storage.

“We are focused on constant innovation and product development” said Mr Raymond Ong, Regional commercial director, Merz APAC. Merz Aesthetics serves the Indian practitioners more than just products. Merz Aesthetics is the 1st Pharma company to launch a new medical guideline to help aesthetic doctors achieve well-proportioned faces in Asians. “I am very happy to be in India for the 110th anniversary of Merz Pharma. Xeomin is a superior and the purest toxin available in the world at the moment” said Dr Sonja Sattler.

“50 Beautiful Houses in India – Volume IV”

Introducing A New Genre Of Indian Contemporary Design

A new coffee table book consists of beautiful color images which give a rare and delightful glimpse into the fifty most beautiful houses from every corner across India, giving the reader a rich and luxuriant experience of a wide range and scope of styles and genres. A house is a living space that is self-defining and reflects the architect’s personal approach and architectural sense developed in his decades-long experience of working and teaching.

An Introduction to “50 Beautiful Houses in India – Volume IV” does more than simply establish a clear and precise classification of Residential Architecture and Interior Design that has emerged in India in recent years. It identifies works that largely represent current trends and tastes, across the country, from metro cities to second and third tier cities and towns.

Each property in this book tells a different story right from the origination of the idea to the treatment of its actuality which is the byproduct of the architect’s creation, giving a grand visual treat at the same time.

Most of the projects showcased in the volume, enable us to observe many of the characteristics that constitute an overview of the current state of architecture and design in India, making this volume of immense interest to architects, interior designers and students of this discipline. 

With over 50 handpicked designs which broadly define contemporary residential design in India. Ultimately, the houses presented in this volume all share a similar objective – to formalize environments that are suited to a particular function or lifestyle, as well as to respond to the needs of the clients, without compromising the design and aesthetics.

Focused on explaining the details and exclusivity of each house, the introduction to this title is by none other than renowned senior architect Mr. Alfaz Miller. The book is an outcome of an intense research work, making it an assimilation of truly unique, exquisite and stand-alone properties in India.

The book is a must have for Non-Resident and Indian Residents and architects as it provides a single reference point for emerging architects, aspiring home owners, art connoisseurs & book lovers.

My parents and family were never afraid to send me out till late night when I was in college: Nushrat Baroocha

On the special occasion of International Women's Day, actress Nushrat Baroocha popularly known for her roles from the films ‘Pyar Ka Punchnama 1 & 2’ as well as her latest release ‘Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety’, said that she is proud to be a girl and that women can achieve whatever they set their eyes on. Nushrat was invited as a guest for an event celebrating Women's Day in Oshiwara, Mumbai, hosted by MukkaMaar an organization that aims at empowering girls through free martial-arts and self-defense training, powered by The Spartan Poker, India's leading poker gaming portal. 

Actress Ishita Sharma known from movie ‘Dil Dosti Etc,’ who started the MukkaMaar organization along with a martial arts expert Alex Fernandes to train children in martial arts, taekwondo and self-defense invited Nushrat to talk about her childhood, growing years and becoming the independent and progressive woman that she is now. Nushrat met the MukkaMaar girls and shared her experiences, she said, “I am very privileged that I am a girl. When I was in college, my parents and family were very comfortable with me staying out late at night, but then when they heard of incidents they started worrying, I tried learning martial arts for self-defense as well but unfortunately couldn’t continue. But now, I run my house, I earn my own bread and butter and I live by myself. Women today are empowered and we can achieve whatever we set our hearts to. It’s really important that girls from a very young age are trained to care for themselves by themselves and that’s where martial arts is necessary now. So I would like to tell all the MukkaMaar girls that continue learning this and do not stop come what may.”
