STARTRADER takes Dubai's bias for action and makes it the standard it holds itself to.
DUBAI, UAE, June 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Dubai has always been a city that trades. Centuries ago, merchants lined the Creek with pearls, gold, and spices, exchanging goods for nothing more than reputation and trust. The commodity changed hands, but not the principle. Today, traders execute positions in milliseconds, and a single app provides access to 1000+ global financial instruments.
To STARTRADER-it is to take Dubai's trading instinct and bring it into one of the world's most sophisticated financial environments. STARTRADER demonstrates this through regulation across five jurisdictions, fully automated account opening, and a 280% year-on-year increase in new account openings during Q1 2026.
Founded in 2019, STARTRADER has grown steadily into a global multi-asset broker. The company is licensed by five regulators (CMA, ASIC, FSCA, FSA, and FSC), supported by a global team of approximately 1,000 employees, and recognised with 30+ industry awards.
For traders, those achievements translate into a better experience. Automated onboarding removes friction from opening an account, while regulation, technology, and industry recognition provide the confidence traders look for when choosing a broker. It reflects the company's positioning: Built on Trust. Driven by Growth.
As Dubai strengthens its role as a global financial centre, competition among brokers is no longer defined by market access alone. Trust, execution, and consistency increasingly determine where traders choose to open an account and build long-term relationships.
"A new verb is easy to say and hard to earn. Five regulators, fully automated onboarding, and 280% more clients in one quarter—that is what STARTRADER-it means. In Dubai, ambition is measured by what you deliver. That is the standard we hold ourselves to."
Peter Karsten, Chief Executive Officer, STARTRADER
STARTRADER's next phase builds on this foundation, bringing the same standard of execution, trust, and innovation to every new market and every new client.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, June 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Merz Aesthetics, the world's largest dedicated medical aesthetics company, announced the launch of Ultherapy Mask - PDRN Peptide Radiance in Malaysia. Available exclusively through PRIME certified clinics, the mask is designed to support skin recovery, hydration and radiance following Ultherapy PRIME treatment. The company also announced the appointment of renowned actress, model and television personality Scha Alyahya as Malaysia's first Ultherapy PRIME Brand Ambassador.
Both milestones were unveiled at the Ultherapy PRIME Soirée in Kuala Lumpur on 16 June, marking a new chapter for the brand in Malaysia, under its 2026 campaign "See My Skin, Lift My Way", a celebration of individuality, authenticity and the belief that every skin journey is unique.
A Seamless Extension of the Ultherapy PRIME Experience
As patients increasingly seek ways to protect and extend their aesthetic results beyond the clinic, the Ultherapy Mask - PDRN Peptide Radiance brings the trusted Ultherapy PRIME experience into their daily skin care routines.
Available exclusively through PRIME certified clinics, the mask is designed to complement Ultherapy PRIME treatments by supporting post-treatment recovery while helping patients maintain healthy, radiant-looking skin. Combining science-led innovation with a luxurious hydrogel experience, it reflects the same commitment to precision, efficacy and patient care that defines the Ultherapy PRIME platform.
"The launch of the Ultherapy Mask in Malaysia marks an important step in extending authentic Ultherapy care beyond the clinic. Designed specifically to complement Ultherapy PRIME treatments, it reinforces our commitment to delivering trusted, evidence-based solutions — ensuring patients experience genuine results from treatment through to recovery," said Raymond Ong, Associate Vice President, Regional Commercial APAC, Merz Aesthetics.
Clinically tested, the mask is proven to:
- Instantly cool and soothe skin upon application, lowering skin temperature by up to 7°C, providing immediate comfort after treatment[i]
- Increase moisture in the upper skin layer by 68% after four days[i]
- Strengthen the skin barrier by 23% to support moisture retention[i]
- Improve skin elasticity and visible firmness for a healthier, more radiant appearance[i]
Designed as a dual-use product, the mask is suitable for:
- Post-treatment care, following Ultherapy PRIME or other non-surgical medical aesthetics procedures.
- Daily skin care ritual, elevating routine skin care with clinical-grade ingredients.
Science-Led Innovation Meets Sensorial Luxury
Using innovative hydrogel material, the mask provides immediate cooling and soothing effects while retaining more serum, ensuring optimal delivery of active ingredients. Its unique three-part design provides customized coverage across the upper face, lower face and neck, adapting to different facial contours while minimizing air gaps for maximum efficacy.
The formulation combines:
- An advanced formula with MC-PDRN, derived from salmon DNA to support skin regeneration and repair for healthier-looking skin[ii]
- Five multi-molecular weight hyaluronic acids to deliver deep, layered hydration that lasts[iii]
- 20 complex peptides to promote collagen synthesis and skin elasticity[iv]
- Adenosine[v] and niacinamide[vi] to enhance brightness and smooth skin texture[vii] for visible radiance[viii]
The mask is dermatologically tested, non-irritating, fragrance-free, ethyl alcohol-free and paraben-free, making it suitable even for sensitive skin.
Scha Alyahya: A Trusted Voice for Authentic Beauty and Confidence
Merz Aesthetics also announced the appointment of Scha Alyahya as Malaysia's first Ultherapy PRIME Brand Ambassador.
Widely recognized for her timeless elegance and influence in the beauty and lifestyle space, Scha embodies the values of Ultherapy PRIME — authentic, confident and unapologetically herself. With a career spanning more than a decade, she has earned the trust of Malaysian audiences through her commitment to self-care, confidence and natural beauty.
"Scha truly embodies the spirit of Ultherapy PRIME. She represents modern beauty — confident, authentic and comfortable in her own skin," added Ong. "As our first Brand Ambassador in Malaysia, she reflects our belief that aesthetic treatments should empower individuals to enhance their natural beauty while remaining true to themselves."
"I'm proud to represent Ultherapy PRIME in Malaysia as their first Brand Ambassador, as it truly reflects my belief in authentic, results-driven treatments. It's about embracing innovation that enhances natural beauty without compromising who you are. For me, confidence comes from being genuine, and Ultherapy PRIME supports that journey in a way that feels both empowering and real," said Scha Alyahya.
The Ultherapy PRIME Soirée brought together members of the media, key opinion leaders and aesthetic physicians from Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia and Vietnam for an immersive experience through the world of Ultherapy PRIME. Guests were invited to engage with the campaign through interactive installations. The evening reinforced Merz Aesthetics' commitment to championing personalized, authentic aesthetic journeys in Malaysia.
