Assessment of the reproducibility and accuracy of the Visia ® Complexion Analysis Camera System for objective skin analysis of facial wrinkles and skin age

The assessment of the reproducibility and accuracy of the objective measurement method, the Visia^® camera system, contributed to the validation of the system. The evaluation of the reproducibility revealed a satisfactory precision of the repeated captures when investigating facial wrinkles. Absolute scores should be preferred over percentiles owing to their better precision. The calculation of the accuracy of the Truskin Age^® data from the Visia^® camera system revealed only a slight deviation from the true calendrical ages. The correlation between both data groups was highly significant.
