Webinar - Mechanical behavior of the skin: characterization by indentation - Les Tech du Beauty FAB #4

Research and innovation

Biomechanics, the study of movements and forces acting on biological tissues, is used in cosmetics to understand skin-product interactions. Skin indentation is a technique commonly used in biomechanics to measure skin resistance and flexibility. This method makes it possible to evaluate the effectiveness of cosmetic products on the skin and thus to develop new cosmetic products which improve the mechanical properties of the skin.

Take part in our fourth Beauty Fab Tech webinar, an opportunity for you to learn about skin analysis methods.

Program

  • Presentation of BioMeca
  • General presentation of biomechanics and indentation
  • Technological focus on atomic force microscopy
  • Presentation of the equipment used in the field of dermocosmetics

Format: One-hour webinar in French
Speaker: Dr Jean-André LAPART, Lab Manager, BIOMECA
