The determination of structural or dynamic changes in the cutaneous microcirculation belongs to the noninvasive techniques of the biometrological domain. Thus, every capillary modification resulting from topical cosmetic products, or chemical agents can be observed. In pathology, numerous conditions can be better examined with this system. Associated with the potential of numerical image analysis, capillaroscopy techniques will probably extend their application fields to the assessment of the influence of arterial and venous diseases on the skin nutritional circulation.
