The latest Visioscan® generation with improved hard- and software offer a multitude of possibilities:

 

       

 

  

• The evaluation method SELS® (Surface Evaluation of the Living Skin - developed by the Institute for Experimental Dermatology, Prof. Tronnier, University of Witten-Herdecke, Germany) analyses the grey level distribution and allows the calculation of four clinical parameters to quantitatively and qualitatively describe the skin surface as an index: Skin smoothness (Sesm), Skin roughness (Ser), Scaliness (Sesc), Wrinkles (Sew).

      

SELS parameter - before treatment       SELS parameter - after treatment

• In addition to the valuable SELS® calculations also other interesting parameters can be calculated: lines can be drawn on the images and the profile and the results are shown immediately. Roughness indices for up to 180 lines arranged vertically, horizontally or circularly are immediately available.
• Special parameters have been created to describe virtually the skin topography volume (mm²) and unfolded surface in %.
• Ageing parameters as anisotropy (directionality of the lines) and cell size (polygons between the visible lines) are at your disposal.
                                                                                                             

  younger skin, lines in all directions visible,                                                                     aged skin, deep directional lines, 

  low anisotropy and more polygons between the lines                                                less and larger polygons between the lines

• Draw lines and free-hand objects in the picture. They can be measured accurately (e.g. length of hair after shaving, Hair thickness, pigmented spots and lesions, etc.).
                                 

  measurements of hair length and -thickness                                    measurements of spots and lesions

• Evaluation of desquamation (scaliness/dryness) of the skin with the foil Corneofix® F 20. A desquamation index is calculated.

• Determination of sebum production with the foil Sebufix® F 16. The sebum production of each sebum gland can be monitored impressively in real time on the screen.

• Worldwide established method with a variety of interesting studies. The Visioscan® had been used on board of the International Space Station (ISS) to monitor the astronauts’ skin state during their stay in space.*

• Convenient organisation of images and results in studies. Evaluate all data together by one click.

• Display quickly and easily "3D" images in false colour or grey values.

• A check calibration functions ensures the accuracy of the geometry of the camera.

• Small, easy to handle device for all kind of applications.

• The camera can be fitted to a tripod by its special mount.

• Stable connection by USB directly to the computer.

• The extremely economic system can easily compete with the more expensive, complex devices.

The Visioscan® VC 20plus can be used together with the Skin-Visiometer® SV 700 USB as combination instrument.
