3D

  • The Antera 3D uses a patented method to reconstruct full 3D images of the skin surface.
  • Perfect for the analysis of wrinkles, texture, pores, volume, etc.

PRECISE

  • High repeatability. Tests performed on artificial skin samples under controlled conditions have determined an instrumental error of less than 2%,
  • High reproducibility. Tests performed have shown little inter-operator differences.

 

VERSATILE

With the Antera 3D you can do it all. With just one device.

  • Skin profilometer. Would you like to measure skin topography? Wrinkles, skin texture, pores, acne scars, volumes?
  • Multi-spectral analyser. Would you like to measure pigmentation and vascular lesions? Brown spots, hyper-pigmentation, rosacea, port wine stains, etc.?
  • Would you like to measure skin colour, skin phototype, ITA angles and colour differences?
