Game-Changing Dental Collaboration Puts KL on the Map for World-Class Aesthetic Dentistry - As Alba Dental Launches

A new chapter in aesthetic dentistry begins today with the launch of Alba Dental, a premium dental clinic nestled at Pavilion Damansara Heights. A first-of-its-kind collaboration between Malaysia’s leading aesthetic dentist, Dr. Kayla Teh, and Australia’s award-winning Dental Boutique, Alba Dental, brings together international expertise, cutting-edge technology, and a deeply personalised approach to modern dentistry.

Alba Dental spans a sprawling, modern facility that is one of the largest single-location dental clinics in the country. It is uniquely equipped with cutting-edge specialist dental technology imported from Germany – including advanced equipment being used in Malaysia (and even Southeast Asia) for the very first time. The clinic itself is designed as a wellness-inspired sanctuary: patients step into a serene, spa-like environment featuring plush comforts and soothing decor, rather than a typical clinical atmosphere. Every detail, from the spa-like waiting lounge to the digitally integrated treatment suites, blends comfort, clinical precision, and digital innovation to elevate the patient experience.

This collaborative launch of Alba Dental is set to elevate Malaysia as a destination for world-class aesthetic dentistry. By uniting Dr. Kayla’s artistic smile design prowess with Dental Boutique’s advanced techniques and success formula, the clinic aims to attract patients from across the region seeking outstanding cosmetic dental results. At the grand opening, guests toured the facility and met the powerhouse team behind Alba Dental. The consensus was clear: with its combination of celebrity expertise, international standards, and luxurious ambiance, Alba Dental is poised to put Kuala Lumpur on the map for elite smile transformations.

New! Anlene CholestoPro: Dual Action Formula Take Care of Your Cholesterol and Mobility

High cholesterol is an increasing health concern in Malaysia, affecting millions of adults and elevating the risk of serious complications. However, cholesterol management is often overlooked despite its crucial connection to overall mobility and heart health. Many do not realize that strong bones, flexible joints, and active muscles are essential for maintaining an active lifestyle, which in turn supports better cholesterol management.

Anlene, Malaysia’s No.1 Adult Milk Powder*, introduces its latest innovation - Anlene CholestoPro recently. This unique formula is scientifically designed with dual action formula: containing nutrients to support mobility while helping to reduce cholesterol. By combining nutrient bundles that support mobility and cholesterol management, it offers a holistic benefit for Malaysians striving to lead an active lifestyle!

According to the National Health and Morbidity Survey (NHMS) 2023, over half a million Malaysian adults are living with four types of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, and obesity.

Ganesh Thiagarajan, General Manager of Fonterra Brands Malaysia and Singapore said: “Nearly 7.5 million adults, or 33.3% of the population, have high cholesterol, yet one in two remain unaware of their condition. Additionally, the NHMS 2023 showed that 54.4% adults are overweight or obese, further contributing to the risk of cholesterol-related health issues. Managing cholesterol requires a combination of efforts, including proper nutrition and an active lifestyle.”

“Staying physically active and managing cholesterol go hand in hand. To keep moving, we need strong bones, joints, and muscles. At the same time, poor bones, joints, and muscle health can limit activity levels, increasing the risk of weight gain and high cholesterol, which may contribute to the development of heart disease. To address the growing concern, Anlene is committed to empowering Malaysians with healthy eating by providing nutritious food and advocating active lifestyle,” said Ganesh.

He further emphasised on the importance of mobility, saying “With the launch of Anlene CholestoPro, we offer a convenient dual action formula that contains nutrients to support both mobility and cholesterol management. It is not just about reducing cholesterol; it is about ensuring Malaysians have the strength to keep doing what they love for longer. This new product joins our existing range, offering even greater benefits to those who already trust Anlene for their daily nutrition.”

High cholesterol is a serious yet often overlooked health risk because it has no noticeable symptoms. Dr. Azura Abas, who holds a MBBS, along with a MSc in Medical Physiology, emphasized the direct link between high cholesterol and cardiovascular disease.

“Many don’t realize that high cholesterol significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular disease due to cholesterol buildup in the arteries, which can lead to blockages, heart attacks, and other serious complications. In fact, it is the second most prevalent risk factor for heart-related conditions. In Malaysia, cardiovascular disease is rising, with cases occurring an average of ten years earlier than the global trend.”

KAO Malaysia’s “Skin Protection, Life Perfection” Campaign Champions Lifelong Skin Health Starting from Youth

KAO Malaysia, in collaboration with Watsons, launched the “Skin Protection, Life Perfection” campaign recently, aimed at encouraging Malaysians to adopt skin protection as a foundation for lifelong health and confidence. To support this goal, the campaign introduces a collaborative ecosystem by combining Bioré skincare solutions with Watsons’ rewards-based programs, and includes a 1% sales donation drive benefitting local research to advance awareness and practices around skin protection and lifelong skin health.

“At KAO, we believe that skin protection is more than just a daily routine – it’s the foundation of a life well lived. Through this campaign, we want to remind Malaysians that every act of care, no matter how small, can shape a more radiant and confident tomorrow. With Bioré at the heart of this initiative, we’re proud to champion a message that blends science, self-love, and the simple joy of healthy skin. This initiative reflects KAO’s broader vision of helping Malaysians lead beautiful, healthy lives – a philosophy rooted in our Kirei Lifestyle Plan commitment.” said Mr. Yamazaki Hirobumi, President of KAO Malaysia.

Skin Protection, Life Perfection

To kick off the campaign, an event was organised featuring thought leaders and industry experts. The session commenced with an insightful keynote by Associate Professor ChM. Dr. Noraini from the Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Universiti Malaya, who presented on “The Science Behind Effective Skincare Ingredients: Why Formulations Matter?”. In her presentation, she elaborated scientifically on the long-term impact of skin protection on dermatological health. This was followed by a live demonstration conducted by Dr. Lim Ing Kien, Doctor of Medicine, from Ventamin, who presented customised skincare regimens tailored to different age groups. Together, the presentations reinforced the campaign’s core message: healthy skin begins at a young age and requires a tailored approach throughout life’s various stages.

With daily exposure to UV rays, heat, and dust posing risks to both skin health and confidence, KAO is drawing on Bioré’s trusted expertise to provide a skincare regime that not only protects and nourishes, but also empowers individuals to pursue life goals with fewer worries. The Bioré skincare range champions a simple yet effective “Cleanse. Protect.” approach, combining gentle cleansing with high- performance UV-blocking formulations to build skin resilience day by day. This commitment supports users to not only maintain healthy skin, but to live life with clarity, comfort, and confidence in pursuit of what matters most.
