About the CPD course
The mitochondria are the batteries in our cells and as we age they become inefficient and show an increase in damage; eventually this downward trend leads to skin ageing. This webinar looks to educate and explain how external and internal stressors can increase damage to the mitochondria and therefore accelerate skin ageing. Conversely if these stressors can be managed through active interventions; the pace of skin ageing can be slowed.
Skin Life Analytics is an expert testing company for mitochondrial damage in skin. Damage to the mitochondria will accelerate skin ageing and we can detect this long before the visible effects of skin ageing are apparent, allowing for progress to be tracked at the molecular level. Our Chief Scientific Officer, Professor Mark Birch-Machin, is a world leading molecular dermatologist at Newcastle University, and has many years of cosmetic industry knowledge and decades of exceptional research on human skin ageing. He delights in sharing his expert knowledge and latest cutting edge research.
