Just enter the clients age, press the measure button and place the Triplesense on the area of skin to be analysed.
In three seconds the readings are complete.
The measurements are then compared with average data, for a given age group, to give an evaluation of the current skin condition.
For results that can be understood at a glance the Triplesense also presents an indication of the skin condition on a three step scale: high, medium and low.
Basic skin types such as normal, oily, dry and oily dry, which represent information fundamental to skin care, can also be checked with the device.
All measured data can be easily imported and stored on a personal computer, so that users can store valuable data and offer a skin counselling service with reference to trends in skin condition.
Triplesense is the result of over a decade of experience in the development and manufacture of video and sensor technology for retail point-of-sale and beauty salon use.
Triplesense has given beauty salons and department stores worldwide the chance to offer customers a way to have their skin condition measured using precise optical equipment.
The beauty consultant recommends products and then the customer can return a few weeks later to see for themselves the efficacy of the products they have purchased.
The Triplesense device is particularly suited for use in marketing and selling anti-ageing products, because it measures skin elasticity.
