Nevisense is a non-invasive tool for monitoring skin barrier function with several applications in cosmetic dermatology. Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) measures the electrical impedance of the skin, providing insights into skin hydration status, inflammation levels, stratum corneum resilience, and overall skin health. Nevisense’s ability to quantify these parameters has been utilized in over 85 studies across the world to date.
EIS, as a technique, stands apart through its sensitivity and robustness. Recent research indicates that EIS offers a more robust assessment of skin barrier function compared to traditional methods like transepidermal water loss (TEWL) (Huygen et al. 2024). While TEWL provides valuable information, it can be influenced by environmental factors and is often less precise. In contrast, EIS delivers objective data that reflects the skin’s physiological status with minimal variability, both in vitro and in vivo(Rinaldi et al. 2023).
Skin barrier function is of particular importance in patients with atopic dermatitis (AD). Nevisense enables clinicians to monitor changes in skin barrier dysfunction and inflammation over time, guiding personalized treatment plans (Rinaldi et al. 2021, Yayci et al. 2024). Using EIS, dermatologists can track the efficacy of topical treatments and skincare regimens developed to restore the skin barrier. EIS has further been used to examine the effects of UVB irradiation and oxidative stress on the skin barrier (Hernandez et al. 2019).
Currently, cosmetic developers are utilizing EIS as a method to bolster product claims regarding skin barrier improvement. Nevisense’s ability to provide quantitative, objective, and highly sensitive measurements positions it as a valuable tool in cosmetic dermatology. As the field continues to evolve, the applications of EIS are expanding, improving patient outcomes, and enhancing skincare strategies.
