1. Introduction to skin measurement
Skin is the largest organ of our human body. As the first and foremost protective barrier of our immune system, skin protects us from microbes and environmental pollutants, helps regulate body temperate, and permits the sensations of touch, heat and cold. Apart from its biological functions, skin is also an integral part of our culture and literature owing to its inseparability from one's perceptions of “look” and “beauty”.
Maintaining healthy skin is crucial for both physical and mental well-being. Therefore, taking care of our skin is essential. With the Chowis Skin Analyzer, we now offer you and your customers a quick and non-invasive method to diagnose skin, assisting you to identify problems and find solutions in a more efficient manner.

The Chowis Skin Analyzer is a portable dermatoscope handset equipped with plain-polarized light (PPL), cross-polarized light (XPL) and ultra-violet light (UVL), which allows for a 20x magnification of the circular surface of the skin under scope (1.4cm in diameter) with a lateral resolution on the scale of micrometers. The custom designed light modes PPL, XPL and UVL enable one to see up close the skin features including pores, wrinkles, sensitivity, spots, and impurities etc.
The Chowis Skin Analyzer also encapsulates Wi-Fi communication modules capable of sending the captured skin feature images to our DermoBella Skin companion APP which boasts advanced computer vision algorithms and artificial intelligence to assist skin diagnoses on a professional level. Moreover, with a decade of experience in the field, and by utilizing our vast pool of data, we provide expert approved grading systems to quantify each skin feature and help provide better target treatments for your customers.
