Hydration Pin Probe
When you want to know about water binding capacity
Ideal to measure hydration on both normal skin and hairy areas
Well hydrated skin looks younger and healthier, and it improves the barrier of the skin. Therefore, skin professionals often include this parameter in their assessment of a skin.
The Hydration Pin Probe is used to measure hydration - the water binding capacity of the outermost layer of the skin. As a stand-alone measurement or before and after a skin hydration treatment
This is our most versatile probe design, and it is a popular choice for all skin measurements, whether hair is present or not.
We also provide the traditional Hydration Flat Probe.
Measure hydration with springloaded action
The hydration probe gives an instant and precise assessment of the water binding capacity in the stratum corneum.
Our spring-loaded design triggers the measurement when a certain pressure is applied. This secures fast and precise measurement cycles.
The hydration software allows for performing up to eight sequential measurements, and the average value is calculated.
The Hydration Pin Probe is available for both the DermaLab Combo and the DermaLab Single.

Practical applications of the Pin Probe
Below are some examples of how the Pin Probe is applied in practice.
Testing the efficacy of an leave-on tonic for treating dry, itchy scalp conditions
Case study: “Efficacy of a New Tonic Containing Urea, Lactate, Polidocanol, and Glycyrrhiza inflata Root Extract in the Treatment of a Dry, Itchy, and Subclinically Inflamed Scalp”, published in Skin Pharmacol Physiol.
The study aimed to investigate the efficacy of a new tonic containing active ingredients and designed to alleviate dry, itchy, and inflamed scalp conditions associated with diseases like atopic dermatitis and psoriasis.
Measuring the effect of mineral oil-based moisturizers on skin barrier function
Case study: ”Investigating the Impact of Mineral Oil-Based Moisturizers on Skin Barrier Function”, published in Asian Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology.
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of mineral oil in various moisturizers on normal skin’s barrier function, focusing on hydration and transepidermal water loss (TEWL).
