What measured SkinControl`?
SkinControl measured the tanning power of your tanning beds and the resistance of your customers skin to UV-rays.How the UV-radiation will be measured?
SkinControl has a integral UV-measurement system. The complete tunnel of the tanning bed (canopy, base, left side and right side) will be measured in one measuring process.What will be measure during the UV measurement?
It is diffenenced physical between UV-A and UV-B. But for the tanning is deciding the intensity of the erythema effective irradiance.The erythema effective irradiance circumscribes the strength and the share of UV-radiation, which do induce sunscald.
How often the tanning beds will be measured?
Induced by use, the tanning lamps will loose a certion portion of their radiation power. In order to consider this relapse during an exposition to sun the solar devices will be measured between once weekly or once monthly. In this way sunscald can be avoided and the necessary limit to tanning can be complied.How does the skin measurement functioned?
The hand-held sensor will send a UV-ray (absolutely not dangereous for the skin) to the skin. A receiver in the device measures, how reflect and absorbe the skin this UV-ray.How does the skin the radiation reflects?
This refection forms the decisive protection against UV radiation and is caused by lifeless cell structures of the top layer of the epidermis. This is also known as keratosis (so-called Lichtschwiele). In other words, the top layer of the live cell structures.How will be measured the colour?
SkinControl does not measure the colour of skin. SkinControl measures the protective function of the skin, the thickness of the keratosis and the size of the pigments.How much radiation penetrates the skin?
According ot the thickness of the keratosis, UV radiation penetrates to the live cell structures, here we find also the pigments.What is the function of the pigment?
The pigment forms a cap over the nucleus and absorbes the radiation, which hits the cell. So it protects the nucleus.How is the pigment changing?
SkinControl measures the size of the pigment, which is bigger, when the skin is tanned compared to the untanned skin.Is the pigment bigger, more radiation will be absorbed respectively the nucleus is protected much better.
