PARTICIPATION & RECRUITMENT

Depending on the study, we have specific requirements regarding the age, gender, and skin type of participants. These and other requirements are regularly checked during medical examinations and recorded in our database. This allows our staff to quickly and easily identify individuals who are eligible to participate in the study.

If you have been deemed suitable for a study, we have two options for clarifying whether you have the time and desire to participate in the study.

 

DIGITAL RECRUITMENT
