Siametrics
Simple Instant Skin Analysis
SIAMETRICS™ allows cosmetic formulators and active ingredient manufacturers to accurately measure and quantify the concentrations of melanin, haemoglobin and collagen in living human skin.
SIAMETRICS is powered by SIAscopy™, a patented and clinically proven technology which provides a unique level of detail and information from up to 2mm beneath the skin.
Data for SIAMETRICS is quickly gathered using the SIAscope, a clinically proven handheld scanning device. A live view ensures that repeatability of the scan area is achievable, making it possible to build up accurate, valuable data about the structure of the skin, enabling any changes in haemoglobin, melanin or collagen to be quantified.
SIAMETRICS is a standalone application that builds up data over time omitting the need for a database. To help save time and manage your trial effectively, SIAMETRICS automatically allocates unique file names to SIAscans enabling these to be retrieved and viewed at any time. In conjunction with this, SIAMETRICS has the ability to export selected data in a platform-independent form for analysis using other tools.
Preview greyscale or colour SIAscan images can also be exported for use in promotional materials.
SIAMETRICS brings this scientific analysis together in a package that assists in reducing product trial timescales and improving your process and project management. The enhanced information captured in each SIAscan allows you to quantify your research with confidence.
SIAMETRICS is a powerful skin imaging and measurement system which enables:
- In-Vivo measurement of the concentrations of melanin, haemoglobin and collagen recording change over time.
- Accurate measurement of the melanin chromophore. This eliminates the problem of overlap caused by other skin chromophores found in less sophisticated systems.*
- Captures images and concentrations of all three chromophores in 10 seconds, quantifiying your research rapidly and accurately.
- Export captured images as JPEGs or other image files. This allows interrogation of SIAscans by sophisticated image analysis software.
- Intuitive software makes SIAMETRICS simple and quick to use.
- A live view is provided to ensure repeatable positioning on the skin between iterations.
