Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is a blinded, prospective, single-center, clinical study conducted in Japanese female subjects between the ages of 20-75 years. This design uses skin biopsy samples from environmentally exposed areas and unexposed (control) areas within the same subjects to assess the gene expression profile from three different age groups.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The primary objective of the skin aging study is to investigate changes in gene expression patterns that occur during the aging process.
