24 Why does Dermalab use bio metrology for non-invasive skin evaluations?
- The results gained by this method are completely objective and do not depend on subjective opinions.
- The evaluations are quantitative and are referable in scientific researches, and, unlike qualitative evaluations, can be standardized.
- Applying these evaluations, the natural size and number of skin components can be identified in different parts of the body. This can help in differentiation of normal, trivial and significant changes of the texture.
- Evaluating a new drug requires prompt investigation of its efficacy and safety, a process which is not possible except by quantifying clinical symptoms.
- Even in other specialized fields, like endocrinology and immunology, the skin can be used as an effective and accessible organ which is easily examined through non-invasive method.
- In cosmetology, it is difficult to observe and determine the efficacy standards for a product because its effect may be (clinically) so trivial that cannot be easily observed visually. In this case, this type of measurement is very helpful in identifying these trivial effects.
25 How can “Dermalab” help physicians to improve treatment and diagnostic cares?
- Investigating how the skin is affected by various external factors
- Helping to diagnose and monitor skin and hair diseases
- Evaluating reaction to treatment interventions
