Abstract

See full text

In a method for characterizing skin treatment agent, a device having several sets of electrodes is applied to the skin. The electrode sets have differing electrode distances, such that fields having different reach can be generated. Inverse profiling is used to calculate the dielectric permittivities of individual skin layers, which in turn allows to observe the water transport mechanism in the skin. These transport mechanisms can be used to assess the effect of the agent on the skin. An advantageous device for implementing this method comprises coplanar waveguides for generating the fields.
