MoistureMeterSC – Sensitive and easy-to-use skin surface hydration meter


MoistureMeterSC is an easy-to-use, fully portable and wireless skin hydration measurement instrument. Measuring skin hydration in the stratum corneum has never been easier. This skin moisture meter makes it simple to analyze skin hydration levels for cosmetic and skin research purposes.

Skin surface hydration is a function of two variables: moisture held in the stratum corneum and the thickness of the stratum corneum’s dry layer. The MoistureMeterSC uses a precise (1.25 MHz) electromagnetic field to measure the skin’s dielectric constant which takes both variables into account, giving more accurate results than other skin moisture detector devices.

FAQs

FAQs

What does MoistureMeterSC measure?

MoistureMeterSC measures skin surface hydration accurately and quickly. It provides objective readings in seconds, making it an essential tool in dermatology, cosmetic testing, and clinical research.

Why measure skin hydration?

Monitoring skin hydration is crucial in dermatology and cosmetic science. It helps evaluate treatment outcomes, assess barrier function, and provide evidence of cosmetic product performance such as moisturizers, cleansers, or barrier-repair formulations.

Is MoistureMeter a corneometry device?

The MoistureMeterSC provides the same type of surface skin hydration measurement as traditional corneometers (corneometry), while offering fast, wireless, and reproducible readings. It combines the proven principles of corneometry with modern sensor technology, making it a reliable, portable solution for dermatology and cosmetic research.

How is MoistureMeterSC different from MoistureMeterD Compact?

MoistureMeterSC is a surface hydration analyzer, focusing on skin moisture at the outermost level. The MoistureMeterD Compact is a universal instrument that assesses tissue water and edema in both skin and upper subcutis, making it better suited for deeper tissue analysis and swelling studies.

How is MoistureMeterSC different from MoistureMeterEpiD?

MoistureMeterSC measures surface hydration at the outermost layer of the skin, while the MoistureMeterEpiD is designed to measure deeper hydration at the epidermal level.

What if I want to measure skin moisture on multiple levels?

MoistureMeterSC is ideal for surface hydration measurements. For assessing tissue water content at multiple depths, Delfin offers the Multiprobe MoistureMeterD, which measures from 0.5 to 5.0 mm below the skin surface.

Does stratum corneum thickness affect measurements?

The MoistureMeterSC is designed to measure moisture specifically within the stratum corneum (the outermost skin layer) providing consistent results regardless of variations in its thickness.
