Application of non-invasive skin physiological testing devices

Abstract

Because of their convenience, rapidness and non-invasive advantages, non-invasive skin physiological monitoring technique can be auxiliary examination of many common skin diseases and is of great significance in guiding the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Skin physiological monitor is a newly-developed non-invasive skin physiological monitoring technique, which can evaluate skin barrier by measuring transepidermal water loss rate (TEWL), skin surface pH, stratum corneum hydration (SCH), sebum content and so on. This manuscript reviews and discusses the applications and significance of non-invasive skin physiological monitors in dermatology. It will provide a basis for analyzing the correlation between skin barrier function and diagnostic and therapeutic outcomes.
