The poster presented by Exsymol at the latest IFSCC 2021 congress (which took place virtually from Cancun) was one of 10 selected by the jury (out of over 200 posters presented), for its high level of scientific expertise. The award was unveiled by Frédéric Leroy at the closing ceremony of the congress at the end of October.
This selection was made possible thanks to the poster entitled " Visible facial pores: new insights for their assessment and tightening treatment "A new approach to pore expertise.
This innovative approach has enabled us to demonstrate the key role played by the MAGP-1 glycoprotein in organizing the network of collagen and elastin fibers around the pore, playing a supportive architectural role. Exclusive biomechanical studies carried out in partnership with Biomeca, in Lyon, have uncovered new data, notably in understanding the mechanism of pore widening and sagging induced by aging.
This IFSCC presentation reveals some of the work Exsymol has been carrying out in this area. It suggests that a new active ingredient based on Exsymol's signature silanols technology, with specific activity on the structures surrounding the pore, will soon be unveiled.
