Sebufix® F 16
Sebum Collector Foil
The Sebufix® F 16 is a special foil absorbing the sebum of the skin surface due to its micro pores and showing them as spots in different sizes. When mounted on the Visioscan® camera, the qualitative sebum production can uniquely be monitored in real time.
Advantages of the Sebufix®
- In addition to well established quantitative sebum measurements, the approach of the Sebufix® is more qualitative.
- The foils come in a convenient dispenser box and are easy to take out.
- The very quick measurement without any glue has no occlusion effects on the skin thereby avoiding incorrect results.
- The measurement is not influenced by the hydration level of the skin (sweating).
- The Sebufix® F 16 is a perfect addition to the Visioscan® skin camera. The sebum production can be monitored in real time on the screen.
- With the software the number, size and area covered with spots (mm2) can be evaluated for 5 different sizes of spots (very small to large). In addition, the software displays the slope of the sebum development during the measurement time as a value.
- Evaluation by chemical extraction or other treatments of inflammatory markers, lipid composition, etc. possible.
- A number of studies has been performed with this interesting foil.
