Single Parameter USB DermaLab System

The DermaLab USB single parameter units present a breakdown of the most popular parameters in our DermaLab Combo series into individual modules - based on the same technology and using the same probes.

DermaLab Combo Unit

DermaLab Combo Unit is a complete and powerful skin analysis system operated by a wirelessly connected tablet PC. This unit can be freely configured with the following parameters: Skin high res. ultrasound, TEWL, elasticity, hydration, sebum, skin melanin and erythema, skin pH, temperature as well as a skin video scope.

TEWL

DermaLab TEWL measurement is based upon the vapor gradient (open chamber) principle, which for many years has been considered the “gold standard”.

Erythema/Melanin

The Cortex Technology DSM III Colorimeter offers an innovative approach to color measurement. It’s fully hand-held, battery operated, cordless and lightweight with a clear head.

Moisture

The DermaLab uses a conductance method to measure the water binding capacity of the stratum corneum. For this, two probe designs are available.

Sebum

Sebum Analysis. Sebum collector strips are available for quick and objective analysis of the oiliness of the skin. Sebum is objectively assessed by measuring the translucency of an oil absorbing microporous film material.

Elasticity

The suction cup method as featured in the DermaLab Series devices has been completely redesigned to measure the actual elevation of the skin. By subjecting the skin to a preset negative pressure and measuring elevation, it provides measurements of firmness and elasticity.

Ultrasound

Dermascan C USB high frequency ultrasound scanners provide
state-of-the-art performance in high resolution skin imaging with a resolution down to 30 micrometer in tissue.
