Corneocytes are the outermost layer of the skin, composing the stratum corneum, which acts as a protective barrier against external factors such as pollution, UV radiation, and pathogens.
BioMeca®’solutions
BioMeca® evaluate changes in nano-mechanical properties of native human corneocytes, harvested by tape-stripping from different stratum corneum depths. We use Atomic Force Microscopy microscopy to measure their mechanical properties (tomography) and their surface characteristics (topography and roughness measurement).
High definition imaging and biomechanics to develop dermocosmetic products aiming to improve skin texture, promote a smoother appearance, and reduce the signs of aging.
