Corneometry

Loved150: /* Literature */Fix


'''Corneometry''' is a widely practiced method for the measurement of skin [[hydration]]. It uses a capacitive sensor to measure the [[relative permittivity]] of upper skin layers. Because these depend on hydration of skin, the measured value is is a measure for skin hydration<ref>C. W. Blichmann, J. Serup: ''Assessment of Skin Moisture'', Acta Derm. Venereol. (Stockli) 1988; 68: 284–290</ref>.

The name '''Coreneometry''' is derived from the German trademark ''Corneometer''<ref>''Corneometer'': Entry in the German trade mark register [http://bit.ly/2FXjQtp no. 1007781]</ref>. In 1979 the first commercial instrument for measuring skin hydration was sold under this name.
