Abstract
The purpose of the present invention is to develop a method or system for measuring the skin condition easily and accurately. The method for determining the skin condition based on the thermal sensitivity in the skin was perfected by discovering that the skin condition, especially the skin barrier function, can be determined based on the thermal sensitivity in the skin.
Claims13
A method for determining skin condition using thermal sensitivity in skin as an index.
A system for determining skin condition comprising a variable temperature probe, a data processing unit, an input unit, and an output unit, wherein:
- the probe changes in temperature from a preset temperature;
- the input unit receives a signal indicating that a temperature change has been sensed;
- the data processing unit determines the skin condition on the basis of the temperature of the probe at the time of inputting the signal;
- and
- the output unit outputs the skin condition.
