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.

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.

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.

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.

Our device uses an unique, patent-pending linear actuator principle.

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.

Injectable skin boosters have been all the hype over recent years, and with the increasing popularity of non-invasive cosmetic procedures and the growing emphasis on skincare, the market is projected to expand to USD 2.7 Billion by 2032 — that’s more than 100% increase in a decade — according to various studies (read one report here).
