ONE OF THE BEST SCIENTIFIC REPORTS IN THE MARKETAntiaging: 3D Firmness & Elasticity

DynaSKIN 2 is a non-contact measuring device integrated into the AEVA-HE system, offering the possibility to quantify firmness and remanence/elasticity using an innovative 3D method, alternatively to the classical techniques.

Dermaclaim | Clinical Efficacy Testing (4)

DynaSKIN 2 is a non-contact measuring device integrated into the AEVA-HE system, consisting of a bilateral blowing device that allows to generate a controlled deformation on the cheek.

The device quantifies the skin before deformation, after deformation, and the residual of the deformation. Through this technology, we are able to offer the possibility to quantify firmness and remanence/elasticity using an innovative method, alternatively to the classical probes such as Cutometer MPA Dual 580.

We can evaluate the following 3D skin parameters:

  • 3D Firmness (area, perimeter, volume, circularity, max./mean depth).
  • 3D Remanence (area, perimeter, volume, circularity, max./mean depth).
  • Profile Roughness (Lr, Ra, Rz, Rt, Rq).

COST-EFFECTIVE TESTINGRedness, Soothing, Moisturizing and Barrier function

Sensitive skin manifests itself as a syndrome defined by the occurrence of unpleasant sensations such as stinging, burning, and pruritus. Though not life-threatening, it can negatively impact the quality of people's lives because of symptoms and clinical signs.

Dermaclaim has different technologies at your disposal:

  • Nikon D5600 (18-55 mm) + FrameScan software
  • Mexameter MX 18 | Colorimeter CL400

FAST RESPONSE AND RELIABILITYAnti-pores, Anti-acne and Oily Skin

Pores are small openings in the skin that release oils and sweat, being connected to your hair follicles. If your pores appear larger, it may be because of acne, increased sebum production (oily skin), sun damage, non-comedogenic makeup.
