Solicator pro - Fitzpatrick Skin Type Testing - Measurement of Melanin in Solarium

In Stock

Meet the new regulations for your solarium with an instrument of the world market leader for skin testing devices.

The exact measurement of melanin in combination with an established standard questionnaire determines safely and quickly the Fitzpatrick skin type for each person visiting the solarium.

This is a valuable support for a suitable sun bed exposure recommendation.

Since January 1st 2019 the first European country, Belgium, has implemented a new law which requests a device to determine the Fitzpatrick skin type in each solarium, if a person does not have an explicit certificate from a dermatologist stating his/her skin type. With the Solicator® pro and its software we have focused exactly on this field of application.

Device

Our melanin probe which is the core of the Solicator® pro is based on the Mexameter® technology.

This technology is world-wide used in cosmetic industry and dermatological research as a standard tool to measure the melanin content of the skin (pigmentation) as index figures. Several hundreds of published studies on skin pigmentation with our instrument are available.

The Solicator® pro determines the complete melanin content of the skin (eu- and pheomelanin). The lower the melanin level of the skin (light skin), the more sensitive it is to UV radiation. Respectively, the time a person can be exposed to UV radiation or the intensity of the UV-radiation (also called MED – minimal erythema dose) needs to be decreased to prevent this person from burning. Dark skin comes with a natural protection and has lower sensitivity to UV exposure.
