As mentioned previously, Bio Basic Europe attended the ninth edition of the event “Cosmetorama” organized by the Hellenic Society of Cosmetology and held on the 22nd March in Athens Greece, which this year was dedicated to the claim substantiation topic. We showed to the public two scientific reports, concerning respectively the in-vivo efficacy test area, and the in-vitro analysis one. We desire to sum up, as follows, the main contents of these presentations, together with the relevant activities that our team of qualified professionals is able to perform. • ADVANCED ANALYSIS EQUIPMENT IN IN-VIVO EFFICACY TESTS TO SUBSTANTIATE INNOVATIVE CLAIMS - Dr.ssa Roberta Villa (In Vivo Efficacy Test Department) We presented some new technologies used in Bio Basic Europe, based on the images analysis, extremely important to substantiate new generation claims. In order to perform our clinical experimental protocols, among the equipment that allows getting precise and reproducible measurements, the following are certainly of great significance: - Go!SCAN 3D - 3D Scanner: instrument able to record any data concerning body surface. Those data can be used to build 3d rotatable models of the body, and to obtain punctual and accurate measures of circumferences and body volumes. It allows us to clearly see the silhouette reduction after a treatment (reduction expressed in cm3). - BodyMetrix™ Adipometer: system which allows measuring the thickness (mm) of the subcutaneous adipose tissue, thanks to an ultrasound technology. - Antera 3D®: instrument that allows acquiring high resolution and three dimensional images. It let us to calculate a wide range of parameter, among which: volume, area, depth, wrinkles width and length, skin roughness (Ra, Rq parameters); dark circles visibility (melanin and erythema indexes); stains visibility (melanin index); skin redness (erythema index); eye bags volume and area; pores volume, area, density and depth; lips volume; scars and stretch marks volume and area (volume, area and lengths measure are expressed in mm3/mm2/mm). - HIROX – RH 2000: 3D Digital Microscopy System able to capture high level images, with the aim of performing precise analysis of hair (clinical analysis, hair diameter), eyelashes (curvature, length, diameter and volume), skin texture and nails structure (clinical analysis, thickness) (volume, area and lengths measure are expressed in mm3/mm2/mm). Our team of the In-Vivo Test Area is always available to provide you with more information.
