Porphyrins are produced by the Cutibacterium acnes that occurs in the natural bacterial flora of human skin (skin flora). Under certain UV illumination, the porphyrins can be recognized by their orange-red fluorescence. With a corresponding predisposition, they can lead to the development of acne. The Visiopor® camera uses a specific UV-light with polarisation filters to visualize the fluorescence impressively.
What can be seen?
porphyrinsPorphyrins become visible as fluorescent orange-red spots in the pores under the specific UV light.
The analysis must be considered hand-in-hand with skin oil, as Cutibacterium acnes relies on the presence of sebum.
Especially the difference between images before and after a certain treatment (micro-dermabrasion, special cleansing, etc.) is extremely interesting.
Advantages of the Visiopor® camera
Connect the easy-to-use Visopor® directly to your computer via USB.
The camera is supported by the attractive software SCS - Skin Competence System that allows you not only to analyse the impressive images but also to give individual skin care and treatment recommendations and integrate this measurement with other skin analyses.
