Good Shows! 2 Stage Options for Varying Ages

SAMAJAM KIDS SHOW 2

Got a passion for percussion? We’ve been to every SAMAJAM show that has hit Shanghai so far, and loved every minute of it. Here’s how it works: on every audience member’s seat is a SAMAJAM Music Bag which contains drumsticks, tambourines, a musical tube and an African djembe. Throughout the show, kids and the entire family learn and play with the instruments, led by the talented – not to mention comedic – SAMAJAM performers on stage. First, the audience learns some musical theory and rhythms from around the world, and, as they find their beat, the audience slowly becomes the show. By the end, all participants have become musicians. Perfect for the whole family, the participatory experience allows parents – or grandparents! – to enjoy an exceptional moment of partnership, cooperation and harmony with their kids.

March 29, 10.30am & 3pm; RMB153-700. Shanghai Hongqiao Art Center, 888 Tianshan Lu, by Loushanguan Lu 天山路888号, 近娄山关路. Scan the QR code for tickets.

ONE STARRY NIGHT: OUT OF THE BLUE

It’s never too young for your kids to learn their Monet from their Mozart, that’s what we say. One Starry Night: Out of the Blue takes the audience on a journey filled with art, music and culture. The action follows a little girl named Lena who goes to visit her grandpa, a painter who disappears down a rabbit hole with each stroke of his brush. One night, after her grandpa falls asleep, Lena falls down her own hole into a hidden world of classical paintings, sailing through Van Gogh’s 'Starry Night’ and encountering a collapsing Kandinsky, a magical Monet and other masterpieces. As if all that isn’t highbrow enough, the soundtrack is made up of piano compositions by Mozart, Chopin, Debussy and Grieg. This show is a Tiger Mother’s dream!

The Latest Aesthetic Treatments in China

There are over 5,600 clinics and 4,000 doctors in the cosmetic market in China. Before you go to one, it’s important to look into a few things to ensure that you visit the right doctors and clinics. First, you need to go to an institution with a good reputation and a high level of professionalism. If possible, check to make sure the equipment is top of the line. The last, but most important, factor is that your doctors should be skilled at their job, authorized and strictly trained. If you’re interested in getting an aesthetic procedure, the highly-qualified team at SinoUnited is here to help. SinoUnited Health is a leading medical service provider based in Shanghai. Their team of medical specialists are selected from both China and abroad and are renowned for their excellence and rich experience in their respective medical fields.

Their vision is to provide patient-oriented care by strictly adhering to medical practice guidelines, incorporating the latest technologies and respecting patients’ individual needs.

Here is an overview of some of SinoUnited’s popular aesthetic treatments:

Botulinum Injection

Botox is used to relax muscle activity and restrain glandular secretion. It is widely used to reduce wrinkles but it can also be used for medical problems. The injection of clostridium botulinum blocks the release of acetylcholine, which relaxes muscles and remove wrinkles. The effect can last from three to four months. It can even reduce excessive underarm sweating for up to six months.

Thermage

By applying patent Monopolar RF technology, Thermage stimulates the renewal mechanism of collagen within your body. By warming deep skin tissue in a 3-D manner, it stimulates the shrinking and growing of collagen so as to smooth out fine lines and tighten your skin and eventually redefine your contour. The latest ‘gold 3-D treatment head’ enhances treatment depth from 2.4 millimeters to 4.3 millimeters, doubles its heating efficiency and triples its volumetric heat to better treat fine lines and wrinkles and to tighten skin.

Thermage features patent Comfort Pulse Technology, which can effectively enhance the treatment experience. Every time the treatment head touches your skin, you will feel an ice-cold sensation. A burning heat means the deep skin tissue has reached an effective temperature while the ice-cold feeling means the head is cooling down to protect your skin. During the whole process, the doctor will pay close attention and enquire about your feedback on the temperature to achieve the best result.

You will see immediate effects after the treatment. With the renewal of collagen in your body, the firming effect will keep improving for two to six months after the treatment. The effect will last over 12 months.

FillerInjection

Your skin will gradually sag and lose its fullness due to a loss of collagen and an increase of age. Hyaluronic acid（sodium hyaluronate） helps to restore the fullness and firmness in the face, lips and neck. Based on the treatment area, the expectation of the client, and the size of the molecule of hyaluronic acid, professional doctors will apply the injection to the facial area to repair skin aging and sagging to create a younger and more vigorous looking appearance.

Hair Removal

Are you tired of shaving and waxing? If the answer is yes, you might consider laser hair removal. With the advance of technology, most people can do laser hair removal safely. Dermatologists can safely and effectively remove excessive facial or body hair depending on the client’s requirements. By applying laser pulse continuously to the hair follicles, laser hair removal restrains the regeneration of hair.

A series of laser treatment is needed for hair removal. The dermatologists will access the length of the course of treatment. It is usually recommended once every four to six weeks. A thorough removal can only be achieved after four to six sessions.

ChemicalPeel

A chemical peel is an entry-level and easy cosmetic treatment. It can relieve skin aging in the face, hand, neck, chest and back. Targeting and peeling the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of our skin, a chemical peel helps to accelerate skin renewal, balance and brighten skin tone, smooth skin and reduce fine lines.

Mesotherapy:

FILLMED (FILORGA) is a quality skin care product. Mesotherapy was founded in Europe and FILORGA is extremely popular among celebrities. Formulated with over 50 nutritional ingredients, the product can be applied via injection, water-light injection or microneedle to rejuvenate the skin, moisturize and remove winkles, reduce dark circles and eye bags, and more.
