Slimming: When ultrasound waves penetrate a tissue, reflections occur at different tissue boundaries (i.e. fat-muscle and muscle-bone). This technique allows to measure the fat tissue thickness in single precise points as well as to scan a part of the body to track local fat loss. Claims Slimming effect Remodelling effect Other techniques Macrophotography Circumferences; Bioimpedentiometry…
Anti Sebum Anti sebum (oily skin and hair) effect is assessed through a spectrophotometric method able to measure the skin sebum content. Instrumental evaluations may be associated with clinical/dermatological assessment. Claims Reduces oily skin and hair appearance Regulates skin and scalp oil content Other techniques Digital macrophotography Clinical analysis of the sebum normalizing efficacy and/or…
Anti Couperose The facial conditions of affected subjects are screened by skilled dermatologists in order to evaluate the main signs of couperose: skin redness dryness spider veins stinging sensation Claims Improve the skin condition in subjects with couperose Other techniques Colorimetry Corneometry Self-assessment (consumer test) Complife Support Line+39 0382 25 504Tests & AnalysisEfficacy TestsSafety TestsChemical…
Anti ageing efficacy is assessed using different techniques: Skin antioxidant barrier, skin resistance to oxidative stress, skin elasticity, skin moisturization, skin barrier properties, skin resistance to environmental stressors, skin surface properties, skin complexion analysis. The measurements are taken with biochemical methods, bioengineering techniques, digital imaging techniques. Instrumental measurements can be associated with experts scoring and…
Body composition analysis Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a method commonly used to measure body composition (Fat Mass, Lean Mass, Intra- and Extracellular water, Basal metabolism rate, and muscle) Claims Decrease of fat mass Decrease of extracellular water Other techniques Adipometry (subcutaneous adipose tissue measurement) Plicometry (subcutaneous adipose tissue measurement) Self-assessment (consumer test) Complife Support…
Barrier Effect: Transepidermal water loss (TEWL, also known as perspiratio insensibilis) is a normal, constitutive loss of water vapour from the skin in the absence of sweat gland activity. However, as soon as the skin barrier function is slightly damaged, water loss increases. TEWL is therefore a measure of skin barrier function. Claims Skin barrier…
Anti Stretch marks Stretch marks (or striae) surface is measured by means of a morphometric image analysis technique, or clinically evaluated. Claims Skin smoothing Reduced appearance of stretch marks Other techniques Clinical analysis Skin elasticity Self-assessment (consumer test) Complife Support Line+39 0382 25 504Tests & AnalysisEfficacy TestsSafety TestsChemical AnalysisMicrobiological Tests Markets Cosmetics Medical Devices Nutrition…
Anti Cellulite tests: Cellulite evolves through 4 stages, as follows: Stage I slow down of venous/lymphatic circulation Stage II growth of reticular fibers enveloping the adipocytes Stage III adipocytes amalgamation in bigger clusters (“micro-nodules”) Stage IV micro-nodules amalgamation in “macro-nodules” Cellulite stages can be detected due to skin temperature variation using thermographic plates. Instrumental evaluations…
