“…While cosmetology has embraced various skin analysis devices, clinical evaluations of skin discoloration primarily depend on visual assessments such as the MASI scale to evaluate melasma 6 . Although visual assessments underscore the expertise of dermatologists in clinical practice and are indispensable, they are sometimes subjective, time-consuming, and may lead to variability in observations between clinicians 7 . Objective and quantitative techniques, which are non-invasive and convenient, are required for precise evaluation of the disease's severity and the treatment's efficacy.…”

Visual assessment, while the primary method for pigmentation and erythema evaluation in clinical practice, is subjective, time-consuming, and may lead to variability in observations among clinicians. Objective and quantitative techniques are required for a precise evaluation of the disease's severity and the treatment's efficacy. This research examines the precision and utility of a newly developed skin imaging system in assessing pigmentation and erythema. Sixty participants were recruited, and their facial images were analyzed with the new OBSERV 520 x skin imaging system, compared to DERMACATCH for regional analysis and VISIA for full-face examination. The degree of skin pigmentation was clinically graded using the MASI scores evaluated by dermatologists. The data revealed positive correlations between the novel skin imaging system and the two conventional instruments in quantifying pigmentation and erythema, whether in regional or full-face analysis. Furthermore, the new skin imaging system positively correlated with the clinical MASI scores (r = 0.4314, P < 0.01). In contrast, our study found no significant correlation between the traditional system and clinical assessment, indicating a more substantial capacity for hyperpigmentation assessment in the new system. Our study validates the innovative skin imaging system's accuracy in evaluating pigmentation and erythema, demonstrating its feasibility for quantitative evaluation in both clinical and research purposes.

“…Visual severity scales are well recognized for clinical assessment by clinicians and evaluators and so on (the MASI scale for the evaluation of melasma) 6 . However, visual assessment could be affected by subjective factors and time‐consuming and, thus, are prone to significant interobserver variability 7 . Therefore, quick, quantitative, accurate, and reproducible methods for measuring hyperpigmentation of multiple categories are required to improve the diagnosis and evaluation procedure as well as to provide with a reliable monitor of the progress after treatment.…”

Background: Hyperpigmentary disorder is one of the commonest skin concerns in dermatology clinics. The availability of noninvasive instruments provided a convenient, objective, and reproducible methodology for the evaluation of pigmentation and skin color. The aim of this study is to compare CSKIN and VISIA in measuring facial hyperpigmentation, as well as to assess the correlation between the instrumental analyzing and clinical evaluation. Methods: Eighty Chinese patients were enrolled. Images were taken and analyzed by VISIA from Canfield and CSKIN from Yanyun Technology, and the facial hyperpigmentation was graded by three dermatologists. Results: Feature counts within the facial pigmented areas analyzed by VISIA showed positive correlations with brown pixels (r = 0.331, p < 0.05) and brown percent (r = 0.395, p < 0.0001) measured by CSKIN. The parameters measured by CSKIN and VISIA were significantly correlated with visual scores graded by the dermatologists, with VISIA presenting a moderate correlation (r = 0.509, p < 0.001) and CSKIN a slightly stronger correlation with the visual scores (r = 0.653, p < 0.001). Conclusion: CSKIN could serve as an alternative in the assessment and follow-up of skin disease featuring with facial hyperpigmentation.
