Training in hair and skin science

Our ‘hair’ and ‘skin’ training courses guide you in understanding the microstructure of the hair and the epidermis, as well as the associated physical analyses.

Combining clear theory with real-world case studies, our programme is aimed at researchers and engineers in the fields of dermatology, dermato-cosmetics, and skin and hair care products.

As experienced educators, our experts are recognised in both the academic and industrial sectors.

Training course: ‘Hair: structures and analysis techniques’

Learning objectives

The course aims to describe the main structural characteristics of hair, from the nanometre scale to the macroscopic scale, and to present the main analytical techniques used to demonstrate the effects of treatments. In addition to conventional microscopy techniques, emphasis will be placed on emerging techniques that provide new insights, such as X-ray microtomography (XCT). The strengths and weaknesses of each technique will be described, with the aim of enabling participants to identify which techniques to use to advance their research and development projects.
