Microscopy Services Webinar – Skin Aging: Visualized and Quantified!

19 June 2023

Time:

27th June, 2023 at 3 – 3.45 pm

How can the effects of an anti-aging product be shown in a clear and scientifically innovative way?

The process of skin aging is accompanied by multiple remodeling processes. An essential part of the aging processes is the remodeling and the decrease of the collagen network of the dermis.

In their online lecture they would like to present a new methodical approach for cosmetic products and dietary supplements. They have developed a very descriptive method that uses scanning electron micrographs to map the collagen network of the skin.

Figure 1: SEM images of the collagen network before and after treatment the skin with a skin care product.

 

By quantifying the collagen network and the cross-linking of collagen fibers and individual collagens before and after a product application, the effects of your product can be shown directly.

In addition, important target substances relevant for skin aging, such as hyaluronic acid, can be detected.

The methods presented provide scientifically validated data for your studies and also impressive images for your marketing.

  • In their presentation you will receive:
  • A general introduction to the methodology
  • The quantification of the basement membrane surface with collagen fibers
  • The determination of individual collagens
  • Application examples from cosmetic research to test the effects of anti-aging/well-aging/anti-pollution products on the skin
  • Benefits and advantages of the technique

All participants of the lecture will receive the shown presentation as a PDF document or a recording after the webinar on request.

Online lecture on Tuesday, June 27, 2023 at 3 p.m. Duration: 30 minutes + 15 minutes discussion. Are you interested? Please register for free at this link:
