Skin analysers

HYDRATION

Simply press the hydration probe lightly to the skin surface in the area you wish to test.
A digital value indicating the amount of moisture present in the skin is displayed instantly.

LIPID (OIL)

Simply press the lipid probe cassette to the skin surface in the area you wish to test for an automatically timed period, then insert the cassette back in to the analyser for reading of the lipid level of the skin.

MELANIN & ERYTHEMA

Simply press the melanin probe lightly to the skin surface in the area you wish to test. 
A digital value indicating the ambient eumelanin content (Fitzpatrick type) and haemoglobin (erythema) levels present in the skin is displayed instantly.

How it works:
The hydration probe or Corneometer is a device that measures the skins ability to retain a small electrical charge.
The more moisture in the skin, the longer the charge is retained. This "charge time" is then calculated against an index. The Corneometer is the most accurate method of measuring skin moisture content available today.

How it works:
The lipid (oil) probe or Sebumeter, is a device that measures the amount of oil in the skin by shining a diode light source through a membrane that is soaked with the skin lipids when it is placed on the skin surface. The more lipid on the membrane, the less light passes through to a photo sensor.
The Sebumeter is a highly accurate method of measuring the oil content of the skin.

 How it works:
For these measurements, photo diodes emit light of specific wavelengths to the skin surface, with the measured rate of absorption and reflection determining the melanin content and erythema levels. This method of  testing is universally recognised as the most accurate and consequently found in professional dermatological devices.
