Skincare technology company, Cutitronics, has launched a prototype of a small portable device that can analyse skin on the go, and dispense the recommended amount of product, called the CutiTron.
According to the company, the device can detect the hydration of a patient’s skin and draw on a wide range of external information, such as their location, the outside temperature and the humidity in the air.
It has an accompanying smartphone app that can be tailored to suit any skincare brand, allowing companies the ability to create a bespoke package to suit each patient’s needs, the company states. The brand’s formulation is then kept in a capsule inside the device.
Once the device has analysed the skin, the correct amount of product is automatically dispensed. Dr David Heath, founder and chief executive at Cutitronics, explained, “The system is tailored to what patients’ skin needs.” He added, “It can then dispense the right amount of product to get the best results for their skin.”
