According with the International Forum for the Study of Itch (IFSI), sensitive skin is a syndrome clinically defined by characteristic sensory perceptions including tightness, abnormal stinging, burning, tingling, pain and pruritus. The unpleasant sensations described are in response to stimuli that normally should not provoke such sensations. Sensitive skin extremely affects patients’ quality of life.
The presence of potentially irritant substances in Cosmetics composition increases the clinical expression of symptoms. As sensitive skin is frequent, the continuous research of active and safe skin care products to prevent and treat sensitive skin is extremely welcome.
We will count on two international experts, Professor Wollenberg and Professor Giménez-Arnau, who will discuss about new insights on sensitive skin. A very special guest will accompany us, telling her story as a patient suffering from sensitive skin. Interactive clinical cases, tips for effective consultation, as well as live questions and answers, will also animate this event.
We are proud to welcome you to this very unique edition of Entretiens d’Avène!
