  • Skin aging distinguishes between intrinsic or chronological skin aging and extrinsic skin aging.
  • Intrinsic skin aging reflects the normal aging process of the body and increases with age.
  • Extrinsic aging of the skin is triggered by environmental factors such as tobacco smoke, UV radiation or pollution and can lead to premature aging of the skin or increase the chronological aging of the skin.
  • Chronologically aged skin is often thin and transparent and has wrinkles.
  • Extrinsically aged skin especially when exposed to chronic ultraviolet light or sunlight, often has a leathery thickening, deep wrinkles and often irregular skin color.
  • aged skin has a reduced elasticity, which not only contributes to wrinkling, but also relaxes the contours, as is the case, for example, with hocks.
  • the current condition of aged skin can be determined by means of images showing different signs of aging of the skin, for example crow's feet, forehead wrinkles, glabellar hairs, drooping, eye bags, upper lip folds, nasolabial folds etc. Frequently, five or six expression classes are differentiated per skin aging phenomenon.

Abstract

Dans divers modes de réalisation donnés à titre d'exemple, l'invention concerne un système et un procédé pour déterminer l'efficacité d'un traitement cosmétique appliqué à la peau. Le système peut comporter : au moins un capteur destiné à déterminer au moins une information relative au vieillissement de la peau d'un utilisateur, au moins une mémoire, la mémoire étant conçue pour mémoriser au moins l'information relative au vieillissement de la peau de l'utilisateur déterminée au moyen dudit capteur, et au moins un processeur, le processeur étant conçu pour déterminer au moins un succès objectif du traitement appliqué à la peau de l'utilisateur individuel respectif sur la base d'au moins une comparaison entre une information relative au vieillissement de la peau de l'utilisateur, mesurée au moyen du capteur, et au moins une information relative au vieillissement de la peau enregistrée dans la mémoire. Le procédé peut comprendre les étapes consistant à acquérir au moins une image du visage d'un utilisateur au moyen d'un capteur, à déterminer au moins une information relative au vieillissement de la peau de l'utilisateur dans ladite au moins une image acquise au moyen du capteur, à comparer ladite au moins une information relative au vieillissement de la peau déterminée dans l'image avec au moins une information relative au vieillissement de la peau enregistrée dans une mémoire au moyen d'un processeur, et à délivrer au moins un succès objectif du traitement appliqué à la peau de l'utilisateur individuel respectif sur la base de la comparaison.
