Wishpro Launches Advanced Magnetic Infusion Technology for Smarter Skin Management
KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA - Media OutReach Newswire - 4 July 2025 - In a world flooded with skincare promises, most products barely scratch the surface. Wishpro launches its first patented Magnetic Infusion Technology (MIT) system, engineered to deliver visible skin transformation. Wishpro embraces the power of oil-based actives — an often-overlooked yet essential approach in our humid and changing climate. While many products focus on water-based formulas, Wishpro's oil-based serums help strengthen the skin barrier, improve moisture retention, and offer deeper nourishment without clogging pores. It's a perfect match for modern skin needs. The Future of Skin Health, Powered by Magnetic Infusion At the heart of Wishpro is a revolutionary technology: Magnetic Infusion Technology (MIT). Unlike surface-level creams and serums, Wishpro uses electromagnetic pulses to gently open microchannels in the skin, allowing highly active ingredients to reach deeper layers, where real change happens. Paired with precision-formulated, single-use serum capsules, this synergy of technology and formulation unlocks a new category of skin management: non-invasive, high-performance, and clinically proven. More Than a Device: A Clinical-Grade Treatment Wishpro delivers dermatologist-trusted results through four interchangeable treatment heads—Red Light, Blue Light, Microcurrent, and Exfoliation—customizable to meet evolving skin needs. Watch the full testimonial: This red blood cell activation supercharges the skin's ability to heal, regenerate, and absorb nutrients, turning every session into a transformation. Smart Design, Built for Real Life Wishpro's signature donut-shaped capsule ensures direct and even contact with the skin, while its compact, ergonomic build makes it lightweight and effortless to use. Wishpro blends clinical-grade performance with everyday convenience each treatment takes only 15 minutes, making it the ideal solution for those who want fast results without disrupting their routine. Targeted Serum Capsules, Powered by Science Wishpro offers a suite of 13 RFID-enabled serum capsules, each formulated to treat specific concerns—from dullness and hyperpigmentation to acne, sensitivity, and visible aging. Each capsule is: · Clinically formulated with powerful active ingredients · Individually sealed for hygiene and safety · Designed for maximum absorption, activated by Wishpro's infusion technology More than just two capsules have demonstrated efficacy and clinical studies. A few highlights include: · β-White (Brightening Capsule): A biomimetic peptide that reduces melanin production by up to 79%, with a 30% visible reduction in dark spots within 56 days. · Biogomm'age (Peel Exfoliator Capsule): More than just an exfoliator, this capsule features biodegradable, non-irritant safe scrub technology, enriched with Vitamin B5 and Vitamin E. Clinically shown to deliver softer, smoother skin with minimal irritation, it is preferred by 79% of users over traditional scrubs. · Neodermyl® (Neo Energy Capsule): Clinically proven to significantly increase collagen density (up to 7.6 times), improve skin firmness by up to 13 times, and visibly reduce wrinkle depth and volume by 15% in just 15–60 days. The hero ingredient, Neodermyl®, is a gold-standard anti-aging molecule with powerful skin rejuvenation effects. The Wishpro Philosophy: Where Beauty Meets Innovation Wishpro isn't just another beauty gadget, it's a mission to professionalize everyday skincare. The name itself blends 'wish' with 'professional,' reflecting a brand ethos rooted in real results, proven science, and smart design. In a world that demands efficacy, hygiene, and time efficiency, Wishpro delivers all three, plus the power to adapt treatments to individual skin needs. It's a future-ready system that empowers users to take control of their skin journey from the very first session. Final Thought: Skincare That Doesn't Just Work, It Works Smarter Wishpro has redefined what's possible in non-invasive skincare. Backed by clinical research, global dermatologists, and real users, it offers more than beauty - it offers confidence, credibility, and visible transformation.

Pupils take to the skies thanks to police initiative

PHOTO: SUPPLIED/DONALD LAMONT Twenty-seven Central Otago primary school pupils took to the skies as part of the Police's Blue Light initiative "Take a kid flying day" in Alexandra over the weekend. Central Otago youth aid officer Constable James McDonald said for most of the 27 children it was their first time in a plane. Flights ran throughout the day using the Central Otago Flying Club's aircraft, starting from 10am. The initiative allowed children to step outside of their comfort zones and do something they had never done before. "It just builds up a bit of resilience with young people. There were a couple that were pretty nervous, so, it's quite good [to have overcome that]." This was Const McDonald's first year as the Central Otago Lakes Blue Light chairman so facilitating the event was interesting, he said. "I wasn't sure how it was all going to play out, but it was a real success and everything just fell into place really, really nicely." The children were selected from primary schools in the Alexandra and Cromwell areas. Each school's leadership teams selected the five children best suited to the opportunity, he said. Because Blue Light was a not-for-profit organisation, it had to reach out to local organisations for sponsors. The flying club helped through pilots who gave their time, and with the cost of running the aircraft. Alexandra Lions contributed financially and cooked lunch for all involved. Alexandra and Clyde Night 'n Day and McLellan's Plumbing & Heating also supported the event. Seeing the children a bit nervous as they hopped on the plane and then return with big smiles was something he found fulfilling, Const McDonald said. "I mean the kids were a little bit nervous and then as soon as they'd gone up and done the loop and come back down, they were a lot different — big smiles on their faces, full of excitement and very appreciative for the opportunity," he said.

Influential West Coast cop honoured
A police officer made a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit in Monday's King's Birthday Honours says she is humbled and deeply honoured to be recognised. Greymouth's Senior Constable Terri Middleton is a school community officer. Over more than three decades, police in a statement said she had worked with victims of child abuse and family harm, in drug education, helping youngsters in and out of school, with the Blue Light charity and inside the Gloriavale community. She joined the police in 1991, and spent most of the first decade of her career as an interviewer and investigating child abuse. In 2002 she became the West Coast school community officer, and was "instrumental in delivering education and prevention initiatives into all West Coast schools, as well as volunteering thousands of hours to local organisations, sporting clubs and charity events". "It is a privilege to be involved in so many people's life experiences," she said. "I am passionate about helping people and trying to make a difference and for this to happen you need to be well supported by others." Middleton thanked the police leadership team and colleagues, as well as her family. "I very much want to thank them as I know it isn't easy for any family to have a police officer in the mix - there are definitely some challenges. I very much appreciate their love and support as I couldn't do my job without them." Police Commissioner Richard Chambers said it was "impossible to count the lives Middleton has changed for the better, or quantify the harm prevented by her engagement with some of the most vulnerable people in our society". "I'm proud of the great work our people do every day to support their communities and, as a former Tasman District Commander, especially proud to see this honour go to a Tasman colleague who exemplifies the very best of community policing." Other work Middleton had been involved in included chairing the West Coast Blue Light branch since 2010, preventing drug use and being the West Coast health and safety area representative for the Police Association and a welfare officer. She led engagement with the school principal of Gloriavale Christian Community, which "led to a multi-agency response of active engagement with Gloriavale, enabling her to build trust and co-deliver a range of initiatives that would otherwise have not been introduced to the young people of the community", police said.
