EveLab Insight Debuts Dynamic Wrinkle Detection Technology at VivaTech 2025, Shaping the Future of AI-Powered Skin Wellness
SINGAPORE, June 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — EveLab Insight, a global leader in AI skin analysis technology, successfully concluded its debut at VivaTech 2025, Europe's premier innovation and technology event. From June 11-14, the company showcased a major advancement in visual AI: real-time dynamic wrinkle analysis, which brings a new dimension to personalized early-ageing awareness and skincare strategies. From Static Images to Smart, Dynamic Skin Analysis Traditional skin assessments rely on static imaging, capturing only a momentary view of the skin's surface. EveLab Insight's latest innovation applies dynamic video-based analysis to observe how the skin responds to facial expressions and micro-movements. By tracking the appearance and fading of expression-related lines in real time, the technology enables a more thorough understanding of visible skin behavior over time. 'Our solution doesn't just analyze the skin—it reads how it moves and adapts,' said Yolanda Ching, Head of Global Sales & Marketing at EveLab Insight. 'This brings new value to brands and professionals seeking more personalized, data-driven approaches to skin care.' Expression lines—such as crow's feet or forehead creases—often appear prior to long-term texture changes, and may reflect early signs of reduced skin elasticity. By identifying these patterns, brands and consultants can offer more timely, tailored skincare solutions aligned with individual skin behavior. Introducing AI Skin Aging Trajectories This breakthrough forms part of EveLab Insight's strategy to build an AI foundation model for skin analysis. By combining static images with dynamic behavioral data, the company is developing a solution to help users and beauty professionals track and assess evolving skin patterns over time—what EveLab calls the 'skin aging timeline.' These insights enables more informed product recommendations and personalized skincare journeys—whether focused on hydration, firmness, or smoothing—based on how each individual's skin responds to movement and environment. A Global Partner in AI Skin-Tech To date, EveLab Insight's solutions have been adopted in over 4,500 physical retail locations worldwide, and the company has formed strategic partnerships with more than 200 clients, including Shiseido, Dr. Barbara Sturm, and Sulwhasoo. Its AI-powered solutions are integrated across flagship stores, spas, and experiential events—enhancing customer engagement and delivering consistent, tech-enabled skin health consultations. At VivaTech 2025, EveLab Insight's live demonstrations attracted strong attention from top global brand's executives, investors, and media. Attendees praised the platform's accuracy, clarity, and real-time interaction, as well as its ability to support customized customer experiences across markets. About EveLab Insight EveLab Insight is uncovering the ground truth of skin through science and AI. By working with leading global skincare brands, spas, and aesthetic clinics, we transform our customers' R&D process more data-driven and rigorous, delivering smarter and more personalized skin health and beauty solutions. EveLab Insight is more a technology company.

WySE Products Launches Total Pet Kitchen, The First-of-Its-Kind Multicooker for Fresh Pet Food Preparation at Home
Englewood Cliffs, NJ, June 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WySE Products LLC, a company committed to redefining pet nutrition, is pleased to announce the launch of Total Pet Kitchen Multicooker (TPK), the first-of-its-kind countertop appliance designed specifically for cooking and dispensing healthy food for pets using human-grade ingredients. WySE Products Total Pet Kitchen Multicooker The Total Pet Kitchen multicooker was developed over two years through collaboration with chefs, veterinarians, pet nutritionists, engineers, and pet owners. The team focused on addressing common barriers to home-prepared pet meals, including time constraints, nutritional uncertainty, and inconsistent results. The result is a patent-pending appliance designed to simplify fresh pet food preparation at home. Every component was designed with a focus on safety, efficiency, and user experience. 'Fresh food can make a difference in a pet's health, but until now, there wasn't an easy, practical way to prepare those meals at home,' said Paul McGrath, a representative for TPK. 'That's why we invested significant time in development to create a system that helps pet owners prepare meals with real, recognizable ingredients that get great results no matter what your skill level in the kitchen. Total Pet Kitchen is more than a cooker, it's a movement to bring real, whole food back into our pets' lives in a way that's practical for modern households.' Built for Pet Health and Everyday Use The TPK multicooker offers pet owners a smarter, more efficient way to prepare fresh meals without the time, mess, and guesswork of traditional home cooking. According to the company, meals made in the Total Pet Kitchen can save pet owners up to 75% in costs as compared to subscription delivery food services. This all-in-one appliance combines mixing, cooking, and extrusion into a single streamlined process to make it easier to serve nutritious pet food made from real ingredients. Key features: A 4.5-qt ceramic-coated inner pot that's BPA-, PTFE, and PFOA-free Easy-read control panel with illuminated progress indicators. Four programmable settings for beef, chicken, fish, and grain-free meals. Easily removable inner cooking components are dishwasher safe. Automatic extrusion and dispensing of cooked food mixture. Recipe support through video and written guides. The device can prepare up to a week's worth of food in a single batch, helping pet owners save time. Expert-Approved Recipes and Ongoing Support Beyond the multicooker, Total Pet Kitchen offers a growing library of expert-reviewed recipes and guides available through online videos and written resources. All content is developed and approved in collaboration with TPK's veterinary consultant team to help pet owners prepare meals that are balanced, safe, and tailored to their dog's needs, whether for a full home-cooked diet or as a healthy supplement to existing meals. Processed pet foods often contain low-quality ingredients, fillers, artificial preservatives, and additives that offer limited nutritional value. Switching to fresh, home-prepared food, even as a partial replacement, can significantly improve a pet's diet and potentially reduce long-term costs associated with poor nutrition, such as frequent vet visits and chronic health issues. To support pet owners in this transition, Total Pet Kitchen provides comprehensive educational materials, from meal planning guides to step-by-step cooking tutorials. These resources are updated regularly based on in-house testing and user feedback to ensure they remain practical, accessible, and aligned with the evolving needs of the modern pet household. Responding to Growing Demand Recent trends in pet care point to increasing awareness about the ingredients in commercial pet food. More owners are seeking alternatives that align with their own dietary values, favoring fresh, whole foods over ultra-processed options. This shift in consumer priorities has created a need for tools that support healthier feeding practices without adding complexity to daily routines. The TPK multicooker meets this demand with its combination of food-safe materials, automated cooking programs, and an easy-to-clean design, offering a practical and user-friendly option for households focused on improving pet wellness. 'Launching the Total Pet Kitchen multicooker reflects our ongoing commitment to improving how pets are fed at home,' said McGrath. 'It's a solution developed for modern pet owners who value health, safety, and simplicity, and we're excited to make it widely available.' The company notes this launch is just the beginning. Future updates will continue to expand recipe offerings, refine functionality, and add new content to support pet owners in keeping their pets healthy and thriving.
