Melanin Reader.

Skintel readers are work with the Icon and Vectus laser systems.

Accurately measure skin melanin density with the Skintel Reader developed by Palomar. The reader is for use in light based aesthetic laser treatments and works with the Palomar Icon and Palomar Vectussystems. Help take the guess work out of determining correct skin type by using the the Skintel Reader, a true advancement over Fitzpatrick skin typing which relies on visual inspection only.  Use the Skintel in the area to be treated; it will accurately determine melanin in the patient’s skin even when there is redness or pigmentation involved.  Practitioners take three (3) readings in the intended treatment area, and the Skintel will compute the average measurement which is then wirelessly transmitted to the Icon or Vectus laser.  Treat your patients with confidence with the Skintel.
