Candesant Biomedical is developing a novel approach to energy production – Targeted Alkali Thermolysis (TAT) – for the non-invasive treatment for excessive sweating. More than half of current aesthetic consumers are bothered by their sweating and Candesant is driving the development and commercialization of a sweat control product utilizing the patented TAT technology to provide a solution that is effective for sweat control while being affordable to the consumer and profitable for the physician.
Candesant’s lead product is a topical patch to treat sweating with a quick, in-office procedure. The TAT technology is based on the principle that alkali metals, in contact with water, generate thermal energy. The company has completed multiple clinical studies, including a successful pivotal trial demonstrating significant sweat reduction benefits lasting up to 3 months after a single, no down-time treatment.

Jeune Inc. is a biotechnology company leveraging a clinically validated gene-delivery platform to fundamentally address – and reverse – the biology of aging or photo-damaged skin.
Jeune was formed in April 2019 by Krystal Biotech to advance a portfolio of innovative treatments that address aesthetic skin conditions. Our product candidates are based on Krystal’s Skin TARgeted Delivery platform, or STAR-D platform. This skin-optimized gene delivery technology enables us to specifically target key cells in the skin for delivery of a desired effector (gene). In doing so, we aim to stimulate a patient’s own cells to produce the important structural proteins that normally decline over time as we age (intrinsic aging) and with photo-damage (extrinsic aging).
