As a leader of the GCA multi-centric safety and efficacy trial, I am highly satisfied with the results” added Prof. Dr. Michael Atlan, renowned French Plastic Surgeon.
The GC Aesthetics FixNip NRI is implanted with a minimally invasive procedure done by a Surgeon in average in 15 minutes. The outcome has been demonstrating a high patient satisfaction with a minimum patient down time and an excellent safety profile.

Deep underneath the city centre of Oulu, Danish artist Jakob Kudsk Steensen’s site-specific installation The Kuutar Garden comes to life on 18 September as part of the Oulu2026 European Capital of Culture programme, featuring musical collaborations with Danny L Harle and vocalist yeule. “The Kuutar Garden evokes a new ecological reality, unrooted from our physical boundaries, into a rhythmic and ghost-like world nurtured by a moonlight illuminated botanical garden.

For 27%, circularity is a core part of how returns are managed. However, translating those strategies into commercial value remains difficult. On average, 12% of returned items generate no value, while only 9% of retailers resell more than half of their returned products at full price. There is also a significant opportunity still to be captured. 82% of retailers believe that up to h
