01
Hydration
How much water the upper layers of the skin are actually holding — the parameter behind the feeling of tightness, and usually the first to respond to care.
Sensor reading
Face · Skin biophysics · Cortex Technology · DermaLab
DermaLab scientific analysis.
An advanced diagnostic system that measures the physiological parameters of your skin and returns them as numbers. Hydration, elasticity, barrier function — read by specialised sensors, recorded, and set beside your own earlier readings, so a care plan rests on data rather than on impression.

Hydration

TEWL
What it measures
Six readings of a single skin.
02
Elasticity
How readily the skin returns to shape after it is displaced. This is the mechanical reading behind what we call firmness.
Sensor reading
03
Water loss (TEWL)
Transepidermal water loss — the rate at which water escapes outward through the skin. A direct measure of how intact the barrier is.
Barrier function
04
Sebum
How much oil the skin is producing at the point measured — useful in separating genuinely oily skin from dehydrated skin that is overcompensating.
Sensor reading
05
Collagen
The collagen level in the area assessed — the structural protein that gives skin its density and its support.
Structural reading
06
pH
The acidity of the skin surface. A shifted pH points to a disturbed acid mantle, and often explains sensitivity or persistent irritation.
Surface chemistry
The mechanism
Sensors, not impressions.
A visual assessment describes the skin. DermaLab measures it. Specialised sensors rest on the surface for a few seconds at a time, each built to read one physiological parameter and return it as a value — which is what makes the same skin, measured again in three months, honestly comparable.
Step · One
The sensors
Specialised probes are applied gently to the area being assessed. Each is built for a single parameter, and each reading takes only seconds.
Hydration · elasticity · barrier · sebum · collagen · pH
Step · Two
The numbers
Every reading is returned in numerical and analytical form rather than as a description — a value you can hold against a previous one.
Objective, comparable values
Step · Three
The comparison
Because the measurement is repeatable, the reading taken before a course and the one taken after are describing the same thing on the same scale.
Progress shown, not described
Who it's for
For anyone who would rather know.
DermaLab is suitable for all skin types. It earns its place whenever a decision — or a result — needs to rest on something firmer than appearance.
- —Want to understand the actual condition of their skin
- —Are undergoing aesthetic or therapeutic treatments
- —Want measurable and trackable results
- —Have concerns related to skin hydration or elasticity
- —Are choosing between care routes and would like the data first
Main benefits
What the measurement buys you.
Accurate measurement
The key physiological parameters of the skin, measured directly rather than estimated by eye.
Hydration & elasticity
The two readings patients feel most clearly — assessed as values, so a change can be confirmed.
Monitoring
Treatment effectiveness followed across a course rather than judged at the end of it.
Objective data
Numerical, analytical output that is not shaped by lighting, memory or mood.
All skin types
The measurement is the same regardless of skin type, tone or condition.
Combines readily
It sits alongside the clinic's other diagnostic methods rather than replacing them.
The session
Ten minutes, and nothing invasive.
Detail
What it means
At a glance
01Duration
Approximately ten minutes, including time to read the results with your specialist.
≈ 10 min
02Comfort
Non-invasive and painless. The sensors rest on the surface of the skin; nothing penetrates it.
Painless
03Preparation
None required. No special preparation is needed before the measurement.
No prep
04Frequency
As often as needed, and in line with the treatment programme you are following.
Repeatable
05Areas
The face, the neck, and other areas of the body when required.

What you receive
Numbers you can hold onto.
The output is a set of values and an analytical read of them — the starting point your specialist plans against, and the baseline every later measurement is compared with.
- AssessmentAn objective assessment of your skin's condition at the moment of measurement.
- Planning dataNumerical data your specialist builds the aesthetic or therapeutic programme around.
- ComparisonA clear comparison of results over time, on the same scale at every visit.
- A planPersonalised planning of aesthetic or therapeutic treatment, shaped to your readings.
In the room
Quiet, quick, and entirely on the surface.
You sit down, and the sensors are placed on the areas being assessed — a few seconds each, nothing that penetrates the skin, nothing that stings. In about ten minutes the full set of readings is complete.
Then the part that matters: your specialist goes through the values with you — what each one describes, where yours sit, and what the skincare or treatment plan should be from here.
Frequently asked
Questions our patients actually ask.
Is this a treatment or a diagnostic procedure?
It is a diagnostic system. DermaLab measures and documents the condition of the skin; it does not treat it. The measurement is what a treatment plan is then built on.
Is it painful?
No. The analysis is painless. The sensors rest on the surface of the skin, and nothing penetrates it.
How often can it be performed?
As needed, and in accordance with the treatment programme you are following. Because the measurement is repeatable, it is often taken at the start of a course and again during it.
Are the results accurate?
Yes. The device provides objective measurements. The readings must, however, be interpreted by a qualified specialist — a number on its own is not a conclusion.
Do I need to prepare?
No special preparation is required. Your specialist will tell you if anything about the day of your appointment is worth adjusting.
A few honest notes
·
DermaLab is not a treatment method.
·
It is used for assessment and monitoring of the skin's condition.
·
The results must be interpreted by a qualified specialist.
·
It can be combined with the clinic's other diagnostic methods.
Begin
Measure it first.
Begin with a DermaLab analysis and a one-to-one reading of the numbers with a Beauté Concept specialist — the measured first step of any skincare programme.
