Skin Care

The hydration distribution on the skin surface gives valuable information on the efficacy of cosmetic products and the micro-topography of the skin

Capacitance imaging new MoistureMap MM 200

Featuring new hard- and software the MoistureMap MM 200 facilitates taking high quality images and their evaluation:

very flat sensor surface without metal rim
capture-function on the probe handle
new moisture homogeneity distribution value
permittivity result
multiple topographic measurements (polygon size, corner density, anisotropy index)
impressive ”3D” style images
selection of an ROI and comparison of 2 ROIs in one image

It's therefore a very flexible instrument for cosmetology and dermatology.

Drop shape analysis for the determination of Wettability

The Drop Angle Meter DM 300 is a unique new instrument to assess the wettability, the free surface energy, the tension and the hydrophilic/hydrophobic properties of a surface like the skin. By characterising the shape of an applied drop several parameters and results can be obtained for assessing:

Effect of products on skin & hair (degreasing, washing, moisturising)
Water resistance of products (e.g. sunscreen)
Spreadability of products
Water repellence of products (e.g. lip gloss, nail polish)
Tissue Engineering, e.g. skin grafts for scars (improved adhesion of cells with increased wettability

The convenient hard- and software offer a new approach for the analysis of skin or other materials.
