Measure what you treat.

Kairos Technology Partners brings Cortex Technology's skin measurement instruments to clinics in the United States — objective readings, taken chairside, in the time it takes to run a consult.

Most consults are built on an opinion the patient has no way to check.

Photographs show what a face looks like under a particular light. They don't show whether collagen changed, whether the barrier recovered, or what a patient's true skin tone is before you choose a laser setting. Cortex instruments measure the skin rather than photographing it, so the plan you recommend rests on something both of you can see.

Two instruments, two jobs

Both are designed, manufactured and hand-assembled by Cortex Technology in Aalborg, Denmark. They solve different problems, and plenty of clinics have room for both.

DermaLab Aesthetic

A benchtop instrument with interchangeable probes that reads five properties of the skin in a single assessment, and prints a result page your patient takes home.

  • Collagen, elasticity, hydration, pH and sebum
  • Built for the consult and the follow-up visit
  • Comparison against the patient's earlier readings

Colorimeter DSM-4

A wireless handheld colorimeter that reads color, pigmentation and erythema at one spot and classifies phototype by ITA — in under a second, on its own display.

  • Objective phototype by Individual Typology Angle
  • Built for laser work, pigment cases and efficacy testing
  • Portable calibrator built into the storage case

Danish instruments, clinician-led support

Cortex Technology has built precision skin instruments in Aalborg since 1985 and has supplied dermatology research for four decades. Every unit is designed, manufactured and assembled by hand in Denmark.

Kairos Technology Partners is their United States distribution partner. We are clinicians who use these instruments in our own practice, so training and support come from people who have run the measurements on real patients.
