Please note that FacialSkin models are prepared with skin samples obtained with the informed consent of donors and in compliance with the Declaration of Helsinki and all other applicable regulations.

• The ordered amount of models, which are placed in individual inserts in a 12-well plate. The plate is then loaded in a transport plate covered by a lid. Every skin biopsy is firmly maintained in our proprietary matrix within the insert.
• The required volume of culture medium to maintain the biopsies alive (storage 4°C).
• A QA/QC lot release certificate with donor information (age, gender, skin type, anatomical site).

FacialSkin models are produced using discarded tissue from facial lift surgeries. Please note that this type of surgery leads to skin models that present significant redness.

FacialSkin models do not necessarily include hair, if you wish to study hair and mature follicles, please refer to HairSkin models.

Genoskin’s network of hospitals and surgeons allows us to access different types of donors. For our FacialSkin models, 94% of donors are women, aged 29 to 82, with an average age of 62.

Genoskin’s network of hospitals and surgeons allows us to access many skin tissues per week, however, facial lift remains a less common procedure. Should you need multiple donors for your experiment, please note that there might be a delay between each donor.

FacialSkin models are supplied as ready-to-use kits. They are packed in a specifically designed box that can be shipped by express airfreight. The box is thermally insulated and shock-resistant.
While ordering, you will be able to select a preferred week of delivery. The Genoskin production team works hard to respect your selection. However, productions may be rescheduled to the following week depending on surgery schedules and sample quality.

Note that your FacialSkin models may arrive at your facility from Monday to Friday for laboratories in Europe and Asia. Models delivered on Mondays are produced the previous Friday.

The expected delivery day will be communicated at least 48 hours in advance to your team.
