Quantitative research on skin pore widening using a stereoimage optical topometer and Sebutape^®

Abstract

Evaluation of skin pore change by visual assessment is difficult, but bioengineering tools are more reliable and useful methods for the assessment of skin pore change.

Pore volume is most highly correlated with the visual assessment of skin pores

“…Image interpretation of facial pores becomes more diverse. The analysis of pore volume also becomes possible using the digital fringe projection technique .…”

The Efficacy of Stereoimage Optical Topometry to Evaluate Depressed Acne Scar Treatment Using Cultured Autologous Fibroblast Injection

“…[26][27][28][29] Through 3D reconstruction technology, the SOT system is expected to be applicable in various types of acne scars including keloidal or hypertrophic scars.…”

Antera 3D capabilities for pore measurements

“…When it comes to 3D measurements, fringe projection instruments such as the DermaTOP ® (Eotech, France) PRIMOS ® (GFM, Germany) can measure fine structure like pores. Another type of 3D measurement, stereo imaging, has also been reported for measuring short‐ and long‐term effects of a cosmetic product, with skin replicas as a measurement medium …”

“…Another type of 3D measurement, stereo imaging, has also been reported for measuring short-and long-term effects of a cosmetic product, with skin replicas as a measurement medium. 18 The capabilities and robustness of colorimetric 19 and wrinkle/ texture 20 measurements from the Antera 3D (Miravex, Ireland), a hand-held camera generating 3D outputs thanks to shape for shading (SFS), have been reported in the literature.…”
