Anti-Ageing

 Anti-ageing covers a substantially broad area of claims associated with both the prevention and the treatment of chronological and environmental effects on the condition of human skin. Instrumentally based clinical methods are available for the substantiation of claims related to anti-ageing. Dermatest has conducted a large number of in-use studies to measure multiple parameters of the skin improvement process. High resolution photography can be included to support the "visible signs".
