Accurate, continuous monitoring of psychophysiological states is central to understanding stress and autonomic dysfunction across diverse medical contexts. Current approaches such as polygraphy and polysomnography rely on cumbersome, wired sensors that limit real-world utility and burden patients, particularly vulnerable populations such as infants. Here, we introduce a wireless, skin-interfaced multimodal sensing system capable of simultaneously recording cardiac, respiratory, electrodermal, and thermal signals in a time-synchronized manner. Leveraging compact and soft designs, the technology enables unobtrusive monitoring across controlled, clinical, and naturalistic settings. Validation studies performed in parallel with gold standard systems demonstrate high fidelity in quantifying stress responses during polygraph interviews, cognitive load tasks, and cold pressor tests.

The skin is the exterior interface of the human body with the environment. Despite its harsh physical landscape, the skin is colonized by diverse commensal microbes. In this review, we discuss recent insights into skin microbial populations, including their composition and role in health and disease and their modulation by intrinsic and extrinsic factors, with a focus on the pathobiological basis of skin aging. We also describe the most recent tools for investigating the skin microbiota composition and microbe-skin relationships and perspectives regarding the challenges of skin microbiome manipulation.

-home RF works for early-to-moderate fine lines, mild laxity, and maintenance — not for deep scarring or pronounced sagging. You'll need 8–12 weeks of consistent use (3–5x per week) before seeing visible collagen-driven changes.The specs that matter: real RF power with ~3mm dermal penetration, strong microcurrent output, temperature control, multi-modality, and clinical validation.

Mon expérience dans la fabrication de produits de soin de la peau me permet de savoir que les patchs à micro-aiguilles ne sont pas le genre de produit que l'on recherche par simple curiosité. Lorsqu'une personne tape « Top 6 des fabricants de patchs à micro-aiguilles 2026 », c'est généralement qu'elle a dépassé le stade de la simple curiosité. Les micro-aiguilles sont un format de précision, plus proche d'un système d'administration que d'un patch classique, et la différence entre un patch efficace et un patch décevant tient souvent à la rigueur du processus de fabrication, au contrôle des matériaux et à l'expérience concrète du fabricant en matière de production.

The real opportunity isn’t another breakthrough ingredient or another device. It’s that split second where formula actually meets skin. That’s the insight behind Nuon Medical, a company founded by Alain Dijkstra with roots in medical devices rather than traditional cosmetics. While everyone else obsessed over formulas, Nuon started looking at the packaging itself. We interview Senior Consultant Benny Calderone to get deeper insights into the company’s origins and perspectives.

Hydra Microdermabrasion System addresses a fundamental flaw in topical skincare: poor absorption. The American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) has confirmed that traditional skin care products can only penetrate into the surface epidermis, and the absorption rates often does not reach optimal levels. This system solves this by utilizing advanced nanocrystalline nanochips (ranging from 250+nanometers to 0.1 mm) that create micro-channels in the stratum corneum, allowing active ingredients to reach the dermal layer efficiently, bypassing blood vessels and nerves for a painless experience.

The global hydrogel face mask market is poised for significant expansion, expected to reach an estimated value of USD 378.6 million by 2035, up from USD 142.07 million in 2025, registering a healthy compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.3% during the forecast period. This rapid market growth is driven by increasing consumer demand for advanced skincare products, rising awareness of facial treatment benefits, and innovative hydrogel formulations that enhance skin hydration and rejuvenation.

Microneedling is a revolutionary skincare treatment designed to enhance skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. This minimally invasive procedure involves the use of fine needles to create tiny micro-injuries on the skin’s surface, stimulating the body's natural healing process. As a result, microneedling promotes collagen and elastin production, leading to firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.

When US researchers tested 75 unopened and sealed tattoo and permanent makeup inks from 14 different manufacturers, they discovered that about 35% of the products were contaminated with bacteria. They detected both aerobic bacteria, which require oxygen, and anaerobic bacteria, which thrive in low-oxygen environments like the dermal layer of the skin.

A non-invasive, natural-looking facelift, with no downtime or surgery required? There are no perfect treatments, but it’s fair to say that Ultherapy comes pretty close. Using micro-focused ultrasound energy, Ultherapy heats the foundational layers of the skin at specific points, boosting collagen production to remodel the structure of the skin. The production of new collagen occurs over the course of three to four months, where you’ll see a visible tightening around the eyes, chin, jawline and nasolabial folds.

La réalité augmentée (AR) est le chaînon manquant. Utilisée à l'origine pour fournir des rendus en 3D plutôt que de simples photographies plates, la technologie a aujourd'hui progressé pour permettre la superposition numérique de personnes, ce qui permet d'essayer virtuellement des vêtements. À l'époque du Covid, elle était particulièrement utile pour essayer du maquillage de manière hygiénique. Aujourd'hui, des marques telles que Chanel et Adidas proposent des essayages virtuels pour leurs nouveaux produits. De même, les meubles et les peintures figurent dans de nombreuses applications.

Dans la volonté d’améliorer le parcours d’achat en ligne de ses clients, Nars Cosmetics, société française spécialisée en cosmétiques et soins de la peau, a décidé de miser sur les essais virtuels basés sur l’intelligence artificielle (IA) et la réalité augmentée (RA) ; des technologies qui permettent de reproduire de manière précise et réaliste les résultats obtenus lors de l’application des produits de maquillage.

A pocket-sized device designed to help manage our moods by unlocking the power of all-natural essential oils, The Beem marries acupressure with aromachology or the science of scents, to offer stressed, frazzled, fatigued or even anxious users an instant elevation in mood. These meticulously researched botanicals are inspired by Asian healing traditions and come in cartridges that are slipped into a slender pen-like device.

The Derminator device is designed, prototyped, tested and assembled by our company in Europe. It contains a microprocessor and a powerful, super-fast actuator that accellerates so quickly that the needling is nearly painless because the needles are such a short time inside the skin. This extremely short needle-down cycle prevents microtearing. Microtearing (demonstrated in a video below) is a problem with all other devices, regardless of their sales price or claims. Our device uses an unique, patent-pending linear actuator principle.

Experts say that permanent make-up usually lasts from two to three years, depending on a person’s lifestyle, and is most often applied for health reasons, such as alopecia or vitiligo, or a trend or aesthetics, to conceal scars or highlight certain parts of the face. In this case, permanent make-up is most often applied to the eyebrows, eyelids (eyeliner), lips or skin.

Mild discomfort and skin irritation are pretty normal after getting a tattoo. But some symptoms like a bumpy rash, pus, pain, or fever might be the sign of an infected tattoo.1 This can happen when bacteria or other germs are transmitted through the skin via unsterile tattoo tools, products, or sanitary practices.2 Fortunately, once the infection is diagnosed, a healthcare provider can offer treatment options to manage it.

Images depicting dark skin tones are significantly underrepresented in the educational materials used to teach primary care physicians and dermatologists to recognize skin diseases. This could contribute to disparities in skin disease diagnosis across different racial groups. Previously, domain experts have manually assessed textbooks to estimate the diversity in skin images. Manual assessment does not scale to many educational materials and introduces human errors. To automate this process, we present the Skin Tone Analysis for Representation in EDucational materials (STAR-ED) framework, which assesses skin tone representation in medical education materials using machine learning.
