SGS offers complimentary webinar exploring energy-based technologies for safe skincare

BAAR, SWITZERLAND / AGILITYPR.NEWS / February 17, 2026 / SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, is delighted to host the webinar, ‘Clinical Testing in Aesthetic Dermatology – Energy-Based Devices and Cosmetic Pre- and Post-Treatments’ on February 24, 2026.


Science is rapidly transforming the aesthetic dermatology industry, introducing technical innovations in the form of energy-based technologies such as intense pulsed light (IPL) and laser treatments that provide safe and effective alternatives to traditional skincare approaches for addressing concerns such as acne and rosacea. With the additional opportunities presented by complementary pre- and post-treatment products, these technologies are becoming increasingly popular. At the same time, regulators are strengthening oversight to protect consumers, meaning manufacturers must remain fully aware of their compliance obligations.


In this complimentary webinar, the evolving fields of IPL, laser technologies and associated pre- and post-treatment products are demystified. An overview of energy-based devices provides an expert perspective on market trends and recognized testing methodologies for efficacy evaluation. As product success depends on regulatory compliance, insights will be shared on the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR), including Annex XVI and Regulation (EU) 2023/607, which sets out transitional provisions.


Navigating the complexities of the regulatory landscape demands in-depth knowledge of best practices for both the devices and related skincare products, and a dedicated Q&A offers attendees the opportunity to leverage the expert knowledge of presenters Gunja Springmann and Britta Gudowski.


This webinar is aimed at manufacturers of energy-based devices, developers of cosmetics for pre- and post-treatments and other professionals involved in product development, testing and compliance. It takes place on February 24, 2026, at 4:00 PM CET.


Interested parties are encouraged to register now to ensure access to this webinar.
