To evaluate the influence of the skin aging critical level on the adult skin\nepidermal functional state, an improved analytical method based on the skin surface\nenergetic measurement (TVS modeling) was developed. Tenskinmetric measurements\nwere carried out non-invasively in controlled conditions by contact angle method using\nonly a water-drop as reference standard liquid. Adult skin was monitored by TVS Observatory\naccording to a specific and controlled thermal protocol (Camianta protocol) in use at\nthe interconnected ââ?¬Å?Mamma Margherita Terme spaââ?¬Â of Terme Euganee. From June to\nNovember 2013, the surface free energy and the epidermal hydration level of adult skin\nwere evaluated on arrival of 265 male and 569 female adult volunteers (51ââ?¬â??90 years of age)\nand when they departed 2 weeks later. Sensitive measurements were carried out at\n0.1 mN/m. High test compliance was obtained (93.2% of all guests). Very interesting\nresults are obtained. The high sensitivity and discrimination power of tenskinmetry\ncombined with a thermal Camianta protocol demonstrate the possibility to evaluate at baseline\nlevel the surface energetic changes and the skin reactivity which occurs on adult skin.
