FSKD (4) - A Facial-Skin Condition Classification System Using Texture and Fuzzy C-Means Technologies
Fourth International Conference on Fuzzy Systems and Knowledge Discovery (FSKD 2007), 2007Co-Authors: Yu-chi Chen, Chung-hsien HuangAbstract:This paper describes a facial-Skin condition classification system based on cosmeticians' suggestions to let the users realize their facial-Skin conditions. Two kinds of features are extracted from the captured Skin image. The contrast, inverse difference moment, deviation information in the gray-value histogram, and the entropy of the co-occurrence matrix information are calculated as the firs kind of features. Four parameters in Wavelet domain are used as the second kind of features. A 2-stage fuzzy c-means process is used to classify these 2 kinds of features into 3 groups: the Oily Skin, neutral Skin, and the dry Skin. In the two experiments, the classified results are compared with the cosmeticians' results, and the average correct rate is 93%.

A Facial-Skin Condition Classification System in Wavelet Domain
IECON 2007 - 33rd Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society, 2007Co-Authors: Yu-chi Chen, Chung-hsien HuangAbstract:This paper describes a facial-Skin condition evaluation system based on cosmetician's suggestions to let the users realize their facial-Skin conditions. Two kinds of features are extracted from the captured Skin image. Four parameters of sub-band information of the gray part of a color Skin image in wavelet domain are used as the first kind of features. The contrast, inverse difference moment, deviation information in the gray-value histogram, and the entropy of the co-occurrence matrix information are calculated as the second kind of features. The fuzzy rule extraction on the first-kind features is sued to distinguish the Oily Skin group from the others. The fuzzy c-means process with the second-kind features is used to classify the neutral Skin and the dry Skin. In the experiments, the classified results are compared with the cosmeticians' results, and the correct rates are 100% for the first test group of 30 test images and 92.8% for the second test group of 14 images.

development and validation of a questionnaire to evaluate how a cosmetic product for Oily Skin is able to improve well being in women
Journal of The European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, 2007Co-Authors: E Segotchicq, V. Delvigne, V. Guillou, Sergio Consoli, C Rodary, Pierre Wolkenstein, D Companzaouati, Federica PoliAbstract:Background Skin diseases are known to negatively affect self-image and to have detrimental psychosocial effects. Oily Skin is a cosmetic Skin problem that women often describe as ‘invalidating’. Objective To develop and validate a questionnaire to assess the psychological and psychosocial effects of Oily Skin condition in women and the outcome of a targeted cosmetic Skincare treatment. Methods We developed and validated a concise 18-item questionnaire [Oily Skin self-image questionnaire (OSSIQ)] to assess perception, behavioural, and emotional consequences associated with Oily Skin condition. The questionnaire was then used to assess the effects of a Skincare treatment for Oily Skin and compare them with sebum level measurements. Results The 18-item questionnaire clearly distinguished the Oily Skin group from the control group. Responsiveness, reliability, and construct validity showed satisfactory performance. The questionnaire provided a relevant assessment of the psychological benefits associated with the Skincare programme. Conclusion The OSSIQ is a valid tool that can be used to monitor the benefits of cosmetic Skincare treatments

Clinical evidence of the efficacy and safety of a new 3-in-1 anti-aging topical night serum-in-oil containing melatonin, bakuchiol, and ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate: 103 females treated from 28 to 84 days.
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2019Co-Authors: David J Goldberg, Deanne Mraz Robinson, Corinne GrangerAbstract:BACKGROUND: Topical melatonin is a potent antioxidant, yet there have been few clinical studies on its anti-aging effects on the Skin. OBJECTIVES: To clinically assess the anti-aging efficacy and safety of a new 3-in-1 night facial serum (NFS) combining melatonin with bakuchiol, a novel retinol-like ingredient, and ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate, in all Skin types. METHODS: Five clinical studies were performed, with a total of 103 subjects treated from 28 to 84 days. Under dermatologist supervision, a 3-month efficacy and safety study evaluated anti-aging properties by clinical scoring and instrumental evaluations. Two studies evaluated Skin hydration properties for 12 hours after a single application of NFS. Two studies were performed in Oily Skin: a 1-month efficacy and safety study and a 1-month comedogenesis study. RESULTS: After 12 weeks, clinical evaluation showed a statistically significant decrease in wrinkles (11%), an increase in Skin firmness (8%), a reduction in redness (70%; P

Safety and efficacy of intradermal injection of botulinum toxin for the treatment of Oily Skin.
Dermatologic surgery : official publication for American Society for Dermatologic Surgery [et al.], 2013Co-Authors: Amy E Rose, David J GoldbergAbstract:To evaluate the safety and efficacy of intradermal injection of abobotulinumtoxinA for the treatment of Oily Skin. Twenty-five patients with Oily Skin were treated in the forehead region with intradermal injections of botulinum toxin. Baseline and post-treatment sebum production was measured using a sebometer. Photographs were taken. Patients were also asked to rate their satisfaction with the treatment in terms of improvement in their Oily Skin. Treatment with botulinum toxin resulted in significantly lower sebum production at 1 week and 1, 2, and 3 months after injection (p < .001, t-test). Twenty-one patients (91%) reported that they were satisfied (50-75% improvement) with intradermal botulinum toxin as a treatment for Oily Skin. [Correction added after online publication 7-Jan-2013: the number of satisfied patients has been updated] Intradermal injection of botulinum toxin significantly reduced sebum production in the forehead region, with a high degree of patient satisfaction. Intradermal botulinum toxin may be an effective treatment to reduce sebum production in patients with Oily Skin. Larger, randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled studies are warranted. © 2012 by the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, Inc. Published by Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Evaluation of a prescription strength 4% hydroquinone/10% L-ascorbic acid treatment system for normal to Oily Skin.
Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2011Co-Authors: Bruce S, J. WatsonAbstract:A 4% hydroquinone/10% L-ascorbic acid treatment system aims to treat early signs of photodamage in normal to Oily Skin and help prevent further photodamage. The system also contains vitamin E, witch hazel, aloe barbadensis leaf juice, penetration-enhancing ingredients, micronized zinc oxide, and octinoxate. Patients with minimal or mild facial photodamage and hyperpigmentation, and normal to Oily facial Skin, used the treatment system for 12 weeks. Of 34 females enrolled, 30 completed. Median scores for the overall integrated assessment of photodamage, overall intensity of pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, tactile roughness, and laxity were significantly improved at week 12 compared with baseline. Furthermore, ≥ 90 percent of patients considered their Skin was smoother, softer, more evenly toned, and more radiant, and 100 percent were satisfied with the overall appearance of their Skin. The treatment system can help to ameliorate early signs of photodamage in normal to Oily Skin.
