A skincare device incorporates a spectral sensor designed to capture images of a subject's skin at wavelengths beyond the visible spectrum. It features a controller that analyzes these spectral images to assess the amount of cosmetic residue, such as makeup, on the skin. Based on this analysis, the device can perform specific actions to assist in removing any identified residue. This innovative approach allows users to better understand their skincare needs without requiring expert consultation.
The device's capability to identify cosmetic residue is facilitated by comparing signal strengths within the spectral image. By pinpointing areas with the lowest signal strength, it quantifies residual products in other regions. This process may involve using a calibration image to enhance accuracy, which can be captured during a user-initiated calibration procedure or pre-stored in the device's memory. Such features ensure that variations in skin conditions do not mislead the analysis of cosmetic residue.
Upon determining the level of cosmetic residue, the skincare device can adjust its settings or generate alerts for user actions. These alerts may be visual, audible, or tactile, prompting users to take necessary steps for effective skincare. Additionally, the device may include a light source that emits therapeutic light onto the skin, further enhancing treatment options based on detected residue levels. This capability allows for tailored skincare regimens suited to individual users' needs.
The skincare device is equipped with a user interface that provides feedback about the detected cosmetic residue. It can display specific locations on the user's face or cosmetic bioplate where residue remains, guiding users in their cleansing efforts. Furthermore, images highlighting these areas can be shown, making it clear where attention is needed. Whether integrated into the device or connected via a separate computing device, this interface streamlines user interaction and enhances overall skincare effectiveness.
