BAAR, SWITZERLAND / AGILITYPR.NEWS / June 05, 2026 / SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, is pleased to host a webinar titled ‘Advanced clinical methods for visualizing and quantifying skin aging and discoloration’ on June 24, 2026.

Consumers looking for innovative products that address changes in the skin caused by aging seek compelling efficacy evidence backed by trusted safety assurance. With regulators constantly increasing scrutiny and an intensely competitive market, what creative solutions can science provide that go beyond traditional testing methods?

In this webinar, expert presenters Vinay Bhardwaj and Matthew Cerundolo provide insights into advances in testing technology. Changes under the skin involving collagen, melanin and cells have traditionally been measured using preclinical approaches such as in vitro assays (enzyme inhibition, cell cultures) and skin explants, which have not consistently translated into meaningful real-world results.

Advances in SGS’s clinical capabilities using cutting-edge instrumentation have created new in vivo opportunities to test the critical hallmarks of biological changes in the skin. The webinar presents an overview of the latest methodologies, including multispectral imaging, optical biopsy imaging, histochemical imaging on punch biopsy and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) on microbiopsy. Attendees will gain an understanding of how data from these methods can be used to enhance efficacy claims and gain both consumer and regulatory trust.

Comparing baseline and post-treatment data from these new methods provides the basis for compelling marketing and illustrates how innovation can help products stand out in the market. The webinar offers case study examples and a Q&A session for translating this specialist knowledge into valuable product design and development strategies.

This webinar will be of interest to brands and ingredient suppliers conducting cosmetic and dermatology research and development.

Stakeholders across cosmetics and dermatology R&D are encouraged to register to gain actionable insights into advanced clinical testing approaches that can strengthen product claims and accelerate market differentiation.
