IFSCC Poster Award
Title		The sweat gland as a breakthrough target for anti-aging skin care Discovery of novel skin aging mechanism: “dermal cavitation”
Presenter		Tomonobu Ezure, Ph.D. Senior Scientist, Shiseido Life Science Research Center
Summary		Shiseido had earlier discovered the cavitation of the dermal layer and that people with more advanced “cavitation of the dermal layer” experience facial sagging to a greater extent, however, the cause remained unclear. This time, the company was the first in the world to find out that the shrinkage of sweat glands, which produce sweat, is significant in the area with the cavitation of the dermal layer. Shiseido now aims to apply these findings, clarifying that the shrinkage of sweat glands plays a key role in cavitation of the dermal layer, to the development of new skin care products.
