This kick-off forum and press conference aims to engage our media partners in raising public awareness of the DPRM, the significance of policy research, and the major activities lined up this year. It also emphasizes the importance of collaboration among various sectors to seize opportunities to expand and strengthen the middle class amid global and local challenges.
Speakers will include senior researchers from PIDS, along with distinguished leaders from government, academe, private sector, and civil society. They will share invaluable insights on the multi-pronged strategies needed to provide opportunities for expansion and new wealth creation, which can transform the middle class into a more resilient driver of social good.

Luminisce, the leader in skin care and wellness, proudly introduces the Teoxane Glowing Lift to its array of advanced aesthetic treatments. This revolutionary dermal filler, developed by the renowned Teoxane Laboratories, offers a non-surgical solution for facelift and contour enhancement, restoring youthful radiance and lifting facial contours with cutting-edge hyaluronic acid technology.
Multilayering Technique: Precision in Practice
At the heart of Luminisce’s approach is the multilayering technique, a breakthrough in HA filler application. Unlike traditional filler methods, which inject filler into a single skin layer, this advanced technique places small amounts of filler into multiple layers of the skin. This ensures more balanced and natural results.
“Our multilayering technique allows us to achieve a more precise and natural outcome for our patients. By placing the filler in different layers of the skin, we can better enhance facial dynamics and deliver long-lasting, radiant results,” said Dr. Kaycee Reyes, founder and medical director of Luminisce.
Before & After: The remarkable difference achieved through Luminisce’s Teoxane Glowing Lift—experience the power of non-surgical rejuvenation.
The Power of RHA Technology: Dynamic and Natural-Looking Aesthetics
Teoxane’s Glowing Lift is powered by revolutionary RHA Technology. Unlike traditional fillers, Teoxane’s formula is designed to naturally adapt to facial movements, such as smiling, talking, and eating. This dynamic flexibility allows the filler to resist deformations and pressures, providing long-lasting, natural-looking results. Imagine the possibilities for your journey towards radiant, youthful skin.
Facial Movement at the Heart of Innovation
Teoxane is the first dermal filler company to place facial movement at the core of its product design. Utilizing a unique manufacturing technique called Preserved Network Technology, Teoxane preserves the long chains of hyaluronic acid (HA) naturally found in the skin. This minimizes the need for excessive cross-linking, allowing the filler to adapt to facial movements while maintaining the natural properties of HA. This innovation ensures that the treatment mimics the natural behavior of the skin, creating smooth and subtle enhancements that align with your facial expressions.
A Non-Surgical Facelift for Radiant Results
The Teoxane Glowing Lift offers a non-invasive alternative to traditional facelift surgery. By restoring volume and enhancing contours, it rejuvenates the skin and delivers a youthful, radiant glow—all without the need for extensive downtime or recovery. With Teoxane’s breakthrough technology and Luminisce’s advanced multilayering technique, small acts of self-care can lead to natural-looking, radiant results that transform your look and boost your confidence.
Teoxane Glowing Lift is now available at Luminisce. Discover the magic of dermal fillers and experience the future of aesthetic treatments.
