Skin Testing to Promote Cosmetic Product or Treatments at the Point of Sale
C+K has designed measuring equipment for skin testing in order to promote cosmetic products or treatments at the point of sale. These products have been developed based on the long-term expertise from the scientific field and are used in aesthetic salons or at the dermatologist’s practice.
C+KCosmetic consulting products provide various measurement possibilities such as:
Skin moisture
C+K has designed the most commonly used method for moisture determination of the skin surface. The skin moisture is usually measured using a probe.
The moisture measurement probe is integrated in devices such as:
Multi dermascope MDS 100
Skin Oiliness (Sebum)
Oiliness measurement of the skin completes the measurement of skin moisture. There is a special tap inside the measuring probe. When the tape is in contact with the skin’s oil, the evaluations become transparent.
Devices which measure the oiliness with a tape:
Multi Skin Test Center MC 1000
Skin redness and pigmentation
The status of melanin (pigmentation) and erythema (redness) are measured by the probe. Pigmentation measurements are appropriate tools for skin bleaching and sun care products. Melanin measurements are usable for skin sensitivity identification. The both parameters are of very quick measurement within one second.
Devices having the measurement probe of pigmentation and redness include:
Multi Skin Test Center MC 1000
Skin Protection Diagnostic SP 37
Skin Pigmentation Analyzer SPA 99
Elasticity and biological age of the skin
The well-established suction method is the appropriate tool for measuring skin elasticity and aging.
Devices in which the measurement of elasticity is integrated include:
Multi Skin Test Center MC 1000
Elastometer EM 25
Skin PH Level
The identification of the natural acidity of skin and scalp is the basis of recommending skin care products. This measurement is very easy and quick, taking only one second.
Devices containing the PH measurement probe include:
Multi Skin Test Center MC 1000
Skin temperature
The temperature measurement is very quick (in one second). It is a valuable tool that checks the temperature and compares it to the temperature of a well-circulated skin area.
Devices in which the skin temperature measurement is integrated include:
Multi Skin Test Center MC 1000
Quality of skin barrier function (TEWL)
Quality of skin barrier function indicates the measurement of the water evaporating from the skin. An open measuring chamber with two sensor pairs performs this measurement. The measurement is capable of identifying even the slightest damages in the skin barrier. The sensors perform a stable measurement quickly within 15 seconds.
Devices supporting the TEWL measurement probe include:
Multi Skin Test Center MC 1000
Skin and hair color
The color of skin can be red, green or blue. This measurement is very quick and capable of recommending the most suitable color cosmetics and make-up or hair care products. The measurement of skin and hair color can be connected to devices including:
Multi Skin Test Center MC 1000
Other possibilities cosmetic consulting devices along with their measuring equipment are capable of providing include:
- Gloss on skin and hair
- Camera systems for the skin
- Lines and wrinkles
- Pores
