Overview
Skincare product assessment has advanced significantly in recent years with the development of high-resolution optical imaging. Techniques such as reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM), optical coherence tomography (OCT) and multiphoton microscopy (MPM) are transforming product development by delivering accurate and measurable data to support product claims and strengthen brand differentiation.
These non-invasive imaging methods use light to capture subsurface skin images without requiring biopsies, enabling a deeper understanding of skin conditions such as acne, atopic dermatitis and rosacea. They also offer valuable insights into skin aging, pigmentation, melanin density reduction, collagen quality improvements, blood flow changes, wound healing and the subtle effects of cosmetic products and procedures. By providing robust scientific data, these technologies drive innovation in skincare formulation, product design and marketing strategies.
Objective
This complimentary webinar demonstrates the advantages of non-invasive optical biopsy techniques, presenting several examples where these methods have been instrumental in cosmetic research. Attendees will gain key insights into the technical advantages and disadvantages of RCM, OCT and MPM, which can be directly applied to product development. Additionally, illustrative image analysis examples will demonstrate how this data can be leveraged to support product claims.
Agenda
- Introduction: what is RCM?
- Application of analysis and observation
- Types of studies and claims best supported by RCM
- Key advantages of RCM over older assessment methods
- Q&A
Target Audience
The webinar is aimed at all cosmetic brands and suppliers looking to demonstrate product innovation and efficacy.
