Hair & Scalp

The Skin-pH-Meter PH 905 is a quick, easy and economical tool to specifically measure the pH on the skin surface or the scalp.

The measurement of gloss is very important in the efficacy testing of skin care, hair care and decorative cosmetics (lipsticks, make-up, etc.). Skin and hair are supposed to show a natural, luminous gloss without appearing oily.

The Colorimeter CL 400 measures specifically the colour of the skin. It can also be used on hair. Measuring values are expressed as coordinates in the colour space L*a*b* (or as RGB - red/green/blue).

The Indentometer IDM 800 is a quick, easy and economical tool to look at the skin softness/stiffness.

With its exceptional small measuring chamber (only 2 mm Ø), the Tewameter® TM Nano allows to measure the Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL) in g/h/m² on small, or difficult to reach sites, e.g. nails, scalp with hair, lips, etc.

The Skin-Thermometer ST 500 is a quick, easy and economical tool to measure the skin temperature which is an indicator of the skin's microcirculation. This plays a particularly important role when evaluating hair growth or loss.

The Visioscan® VC 20plus is a unique UVA-light video camera with high resolution to study the skin surface directly. The SELS® parameters (Surface Evaluation of the Living Skin) have been developed especially for this camera and are used in numerous studies. The images show impressively the structure of the skin and images of hair & scalp.  With its multi-functional software, the Visioscan® VC 20plus is a very flexible system to characterize skin surface, hair and scalp condition easily, accurately and very economically. It had been used on board of the International Space Station ISS for several years.

Analysing dandruff is an important subject in research of hair care products and their efficacy testing. With the DandruffMeter DA 20 a very economic and extremely convenient image analysis system is on hand.

The system developed to measure the lipid content in the tear film has an interesting use to measure sebum on the scalp between hair with a special adapter.

The Visiopor® PP 34 camera uses a specific UV-light to visualize the fluorescing acne lesions of an area of minimum 8 x 6.4 mm. The orange-red fluorescence indicates the presence of Propionibacterium acnes bacteria within clinically non-evident (follicular impactions and microcomedones) and clinically evident lesions (comedones, papules and pustules).

Capacitance imaging, based on the renowned L'Oreal SkinChip®*. The sensor gives graphical information on the near surface hydration distribution and the micro-topography of skin and other tissues (textiles, plants, etc.).
