Your skin – just the facts

 

Until now the science of measure skin functions, better known as skin biometry, required a variety of expensive and delicate instruments in need of proper calibration protocols and complicated handling. These conditions could only be met in a research setting such as large cosmetic laboratories and university facilities. But recently a practical tool for biometry, “SkinEvidence”, brought this science within the reach of a cosmetic clinic.

The SkinEvidence measures human skin biophysical and mechanical characteristics. The integrated system has highly sensitive probes which transmit data to the laptop for reporting.

SkinEvidence measures:

• temperature
• hydration
• trans epidermal water loss (TEWL)
• sebum
• wrinkles
• skin roughness and skin profile
• skin colours and size of dark spots
• hair count
• blood vessel analysis

An exiting opportunity now exists to present ‘evidence based’ dermatology and cosmetology and the essential feed back on the effectiveness of your skin care products and treatments.
