Analysis of facial redness by comparing VISIA and YLGTD

Abstract

AbstractBackgroundErythema, characterized by redness of the skin, is a common symptom in various facial skin conditions. Recent advancements in image processing and analysis techniques have led to the development of methods for analyzing and assessing skin texture. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between the parameters of “You Look Good Today” (YLGTD) and VISIA in the detection and assessment of facial redness.Materials and MethodsThirty female subjects participated in this experiment, undergoing assessments using both YLGTD and VISIA. The subjects were evaluated for facial redness, and the feature count results within the red zone were measured by VISIA. YLGTD analyzed the number and percentage of red zone pixels. The assessments were conducted between [specific dates] in [location].ResultsThe results demonstrated a significant positive correlation between the feature count results within the red zone measured by VISIA and the number of red zone pixels. Similarly, YLGTD exhibited a significant positive correlation with the number and percentage of red zone pixels.ConclusionIn conclusion, our findings suggest a correlation between YLGTD and VISIA in the measurement of facial erythema. YLGTD can serve as a portable device for primary screening assessments, offering a convenient and reliable method to evaluate facial redness. This research contributes to the development of non‐invasive techniques for assessing and monitoring facial skin conditions, providing valuable insights for dermatological diagnosis and cosmetic testing.
