Showing Acne Bacteria Activity by Skin Fluorescence
Porphyrins are produced by the Cutibacterium acnes that occurs in the natural bacterial flora of human skin (skin flora). Under certain UV illumination, the porphyrins can be recognized by their orange-red fluorescence. With a corresponding predisposition, they can lead to the development of acne. The Visiopor® camera uses a specific UV-light with polarisation filters to visualize the fluorescence impressively.
What can be seen?
Porphyrins become visible as fluorescent orange-red spots in the pores under the specific UV light.- The analysis must be considered hand-in-hand with skin oil, as Cutibacterium acnes relies on the presence of sebum.
- Especially the difference between images before and after a certain treatment (micro-dermabrasion, special cleansing, etc.) is extremely interesting.
Advantages of the Visiopor® camera
- Connect the easy-to-use Visopor® directly to your computer via USB.
- The camera is supported by the attractive software SCS - Skin Competence System that allows you not only to analyse the impressive images but also to give individual skin care and treatment recommendations and integrate this measurement with other skin analyses.
Fields of Application
There are numerous applications in the institutes and cosmetology:
- Impressive display of fluorescent lesions on the skin and the need of products & treatments
- Promotion of anti-bacterial products and cleansers
- Monitoring the course of treatments
