Boosting Product Sales Through Proven Skin Measurements
"When we aim to boost the sales of our skincare products, DermaLab Aesthetic plays a key role.
The device’s documented and reliable measurements create credibility, trust, and a sense of professional confidence – both for the clinic and for the client."

A Gamechanger in the Clinic with Proven Results
“DermaLab Aesthetic has been a gamechanger for us. The skin analysis makes it easier for clients to make decisions about treatments and product purchases. It has been a good investment because we see a conversion rate of up to 50% – both for product sales and continued treatments.
It only takes about 2 minutes, and clients are often surprised by the evidence-based data such as hydration, pH value, and collagen.
For us, it is important to have a more objective, scientific approach to skincare – and that is exactly what DermaLab Aesthetic provides. It creates customer satisfaction, credibility, and not least, good revenue.”

DermaLab Aesthetic: Invaluable Insights for Your Clinic
“I have been working with Cortex since 2018 and have never looked back. Before deciding to partner with them, I trialed cosmetic imaging devices such as OBSERV and other visual scanners, but these only provide surface-level photos. They can highlight pigmentation but rely on lighting tricks and assumptions rather than clinical accuracy.
Cortex is completely different. As the only medical-grade ultrasound scan, it allows us to see the entire dermal layer and clinically measure hydration, collagen density, and skin thickness. This means we can detect existing sun damage, see how much collagen is truly left, and determine whether skincare or ingestible collagen supplements are actually delivering on their promises.
Our clients are always impressed — they finally feel confident they’re not wasting money on products or supplements that don’t work. Cortex has become an invaluable tool in our clinic, helping us deliver results backed by science rather than guesswork.”

DSM-4 Colorimeter Ensures Precision and Safety in Laser Treatments
"At LaserMilano, we specialize in a wide range of advanced laser treatments - from hair removal and skin lesion correction to acne scar therapy and non-ablative skin rejuvenation. For the past seven years, we’ve relied on Cortex’s cutting-edge colorimeter technology to ensure every treatment is precisely tailored to our patients’ skin profiles.
Since the introduction of the wireless DSM-4 Colorimeter, we’ve integrated this device across all three of our clinics. By accurately measuring each patient’s true skin tone - including detecting sun-induced changes - we can confidently adjust our laser settings for optimal effectiveness.
Using the DSM-4 Colorimeter before every laser procedure has significantly reduced the risk of burns, lowering our incidence rate from 0.6% to just 0.002%. The device is easy to use and calibrate ensuring fast highly reliable data at any given time. This technology has become an essential part of our commitment to delivering effective, personalized, and high-quality care."
Dr. Giovanni Luigi Rizzi, Medical Director, LaserMilano
Extremely Effective and Never Clog
"We purchased the CryoPro cannisters and have been extremely pleased to see how effective they are in comparison to the previous ones that we used for years.
Not only are they stronger as far as spray quality, but they never clog. It is a joy to reach for them and not worry that I will have to find another one because they are not spraying or sputtering.
Kudos to CryoPro!"

Smart Software, Precise Results, Elegant, and Easy to Use
"We recently used the DSM-4 colorimeter for an FDA-level clinical trial featuring optical measurements. The product worked fantastic!
It featured informative software, accurate measurements, an elegant form-factor, and in general the device was very easy to use. We observed fantastic correlation with manual measurements of Monk Skin Tone (r > 0.95).
Customer support (from Jonn Damia, Cyberderm) was great. I highly recommend this product."

DermEden Trusts the Precise & Reliable DSM-4
"At DermEden Laboratories, we use the Colorimeter DSM-4 from Cortex Technology in a clinical study, and we have been thoroughly impressed with this device. The measurement process is intuitive, precise, and easy to perform, with clear on-screen visualization that simplifies data management.
The DSM-4 delivers reliable, consistent results – even across multiple measurements. In our tests, there was nearly no variation between two readings taken per zone, demonstrating its precision. Plus, its high-quality, modern design enhances the professional experience.
What truly sets Cortex apart is their exceptional support. Their training sessions are clear, precise, and highly efficient, and their team is always ready to answer our questions and even proactive in addressing our needs.
Sometimes, the human element makes all the difference, and we sincerely appreciate their dedication. Many thanks for your outstanding support!"

Proven accuracy
“The Colorimeter DSM-4 has proven to be an effective tool for accurately measuring skin pigmentation. We have verified this through a recent comparative study, where the DSM-4 demonstrated its excellent accuracy.”
The DSM-4's optimized design for skin color measurements ensures accurate ITA values, making it particularly useful to distinguish between individuals that differ in their degree of pigmentation.
Additionally, it allows for reliable estimation of differences in sun exposure by comparing constitutive and facultative pigmentation. This makes the DSM-4 a valuable instrument for both clinical and research settings.”

20 Years of Flawless Performance
"I have been working with Cortex instruments my entire career and have found them to be valuable, reliable tools for non-invasive testing of the skin. They offer innovative solutions to many of your testing needs, based on validated and accepted principles. The quality of their equipment is second to none; I have never had an instrument fail on me in 20 years of working with their equipment daily.
The DSM 4 is in near constant use in my laboratories, not only for assessing color changes to the skin during out clinical studies, but also for classifying the skin tones of our subjects via Individual Typology Angle as a superior alternative to Fitzpatrick type. It is so simple and easy to calibrate and use, even the most novice technician can be collecting meaningful data with just a few minutes of training."

DSM-4 delivers crucial melanin measurements
“We have purchased four Colorimeter DSM devices for various research projects in our university lab. One of our recent publications uses the DSM for melanin measurement, and we are very pleased with the device.
We are currently using it in Rwanda and Ghana, in addition to our work in the US. Since our research focuses on developing equitable medical optical devices, understanding and quantifying skin properties scientifically is crucial, and the DSM devices have been instrumental in meeting our needs.”

Quick, portable and easy to use
"Our primary purpose for using the DSM-4 was for clinical research; we wanted an unbiased measurement of skin color alongside patients’ self-reported Fitzpatrick scores.
We chose the DSM-4 because it was positively reviewed in a comparative study assessing multiple clinical research colorimeters. I was looking to collect data about melanin index and CIELAB values, and the fact that this device measures both was very helpful. The size and price of the device was appealing compared to other options.
The size and portability of the colorimeter was very helpful for clinical use. I appreciated that the colorimeter was quick and easy to use; it was something I could demonstrate on myself to show patients how it worked as part of their consent to participate in research. The wireless design and long battery life was also essential for our purposes.
I would definitely recommend this one for everyday use in a similar setting. It has worked very well for us for over a year, and it still functions just like new."
