Comparative Study
A comparison between laser-doppler imaging and colorimetry in the assessment of scarring: "a pilot study".
This cross-sectional pilot-study investigated the reproducibility of the LDI (Moor-LDI-B2; Moor Instruments) and the chromameter (Minolta chromameter CR-300) when used in scar assessment. ⋯ This pilot-study with a limited number of measurements shows a moderate reproducibility of the LDI compared to the chromameter measurements, in the assessment of respectively flux and redness in scars.

Acne is a skin disease which accompanies pathological and morphological changes. Although acne severity is scored by clinicians based on pathological status, aesthetic aspect of acne symptom is also concerned by patients. This study was conducted to examine the usefulness of a 3D image analysis method for the cosmetic efficacy evaluation of an anti-acne cream. ⋯ The current study demonstrated that the 3D image-based analysis of the skin may be useful for the quantification of acne symptoms of cosmetic relevance.
