Multi Dermascope MDS 1000

Multifunction Skin Analysis

Measure skin hydration, oil, elasticity and pigmentation (to recommend sunscreens). Camera images frozen on its monitor complement the skin consultation.


  • What can the device do?

    MDS1000 display d02
    • Measure skin hydration. The display shows the results: very dry, dry or sufficiently hydrated skin.
    • Assess oil (sebum) content on skin and hair. The display shows the results: low oil, normal and oily.
    • Measure skin’s elastic properties (biological skin age) by suction (ability of the skin to resist/firmness versus its ability to return to the original position). The result is displayed in % and a chart helps to relate the measurement to the person's age.
    • Analyse skin pigmentation and the recommend of the suitable sun protection factor (SPF) for sun exposure.
    skin elasticity measurement - the real skin age
    skin hydration measurement, easy and quick anywhere on face and body
    sebum measurement within and outside the T-zone
    melanin measurement - skin colour

    • Visioscope® AP 35 skin camera with parallel and cross polarized light: parallel polarized light shows the skin surface structure and cross polarized light shows the skin in depth (e.g. pigmentation, blood vessels, etc.). Simply give the camera button a short press to change the illumination. Pressing the button longer freezes the image on the built-in video-monitor to be discussed with the customer. The camera is also suitable to monitor hair and scalp (hair damage, dandruff, etc.).

    viewing skin structure with parallel-polarised light
    take a deeper look into the skin with cross-polarised light
    redness/sun damage
    see wrinkles and pores
    show images of hair and scalp
    dandruff and redness on scalp

    • Special foils Sebufix® F 16 and Corneofix® F 20 in convenient dispensers are used with the camera to perform quantitative analysis of sebum production and desquamation (chart interprets the images visible on the monitor). The Sebufix® mounted on the Visioscope® camera shows the sebum production in real time on the monitor.
