Imperfections of the skin can manifest in different forms such as blemishes, dilated pores and discolorations. They have always been a subject in beauty and clinical evaluation. With today’s onset of “mascne”, their measurement has gained momentum.
Assessment of skin’s hydrolipid film composition by Corneometer® (hydration) and Sebumeter® (sebum) shows imbalances. Measurement of the acidic mantle, typically with the Skin-pH-Meter, adds to this information. Other important parameters are skin barrier function (Tewameter®) and colour measurements (erythema and melanin level with Mexameter®).
Special cameras such as Visiopor® show the activity of the acne bacteria as fluorescent lesions. Pore size, lines and evenness of coloration analysis with the VisioFace® complete the picture.
