Laser Profilometry

Objective interpretation of severity of SLS induced edema by stereoimaging

“…Researchers have reported different results measured the skin surface contours by using conventional optical profilometer, which is attributed to its reliance on 2D data [11][12][13]. Recently, the laser profilometer was developed, and is being used to measure surface contours using 3D data [14]. However, this device cannot be used to measure narrower deep skin furrows.…”

“…Up to the present, several non-invasive techniques, such as stylus profilometer and conventional optical profilometer (COP) and laser profilometer have been developed to evaluate skin surface contours [9][10][11][12][13][14]. However, these methods were too expensive and the measuring process is protracted.…”

Anti‐Aging Data and Support Claims – Consensus Statement

“…There are direct and indirect measurements of skin topography, and also guidelines on measuring methods [225]. The quantitative determination of the skin's surface topology, both skin roughness and macrostructures such as wrinkles is one of the most important and frequently performed non-invasive clinical investigations.…”

“…The quantitative determination of the skin's surface topology, both skin roughness and macrostructures such as wrinkles is one of the most important and frequently performed non-invasive clinical investigations. Later, other quantitative measurement techniques like stylus profilometry, laser profilometry and optical profilometry were adopted in order to measure the skins surface contours [224,225,285]. There are direct and indirect measurements of skin topography, and also guidelines on measuring methods [225].…”

Influence of Application Amount on Sunscreen Photodegradation in in vitro Sun Protection Factor Evaluation: Proposal of A Skin‐Mimicking Substrate

“…Therefore, it seems reasonable that an in vitro SPF method should reflect the test conditions of the in vivo SPF method in principle. It is well known that the human skin surface profile exhibits ridges and v‐shaped furrows (11). We believe that a substrate for in vitro testing should have a similar structure, because this should allow us to use similar sample application conditions, including sample concentration, to those in in vivo SPF.…”
