New York, New York, January 26, 2026— Rapalogix Health, a biotechnology company advancing a science-first approach to cellular longevity and skin health, announced today that it received the Judges’ Choice Award at Octane’s 7th Annual Aesthetics Tech Forum: Forging the Future of Aesthetics.
The award was presented during Octane’s Capital & Growth Company Presentations, a competitive pitch forum recognizing companies with platforms built for long-term clinical relevance. This year’s judging emphasized durability as the true measure of innovation quality, highlighting biology-driven approaches with clear paths to real-world translation. Rapalogix Health was selected for its science-first platform focused on restoring cellular balance as the foundation for lifelong skin health. Judges cited the company’s durable biological rationale, well-defined mechanism of action, and strong translational potential as key differentiators.
“Presenting at Octane’s Aesthetics Tech Forum was an incredible experience,” said Rahul Mehta, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Rapalogix Health. “Our team is deeply committed to tackling skin aging at its biological roots, and it’s rewarding to see that approach resonate with the judges. This award reflects our belief that durability and long-term relevance matter just as much as innovation.”
