Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose : The purpose of this study is to show that Meibometer® is a useful analysis technique for the measurement and evaluation of the sebum content on the scalp by comparing the test analysis results of the scalp sebum content using Meibometer® and Sebumeter®.
Methods : In this study, Meibometer® and Sebumeter® were used for quantitative measurements of the sebum content on the scalp of the test volunteers, and the measurement results were analyzed using the paired t-test and Pearson’s correlation coefficient.
Results : The scalp sebum content was analyzed using Meibometer® and Sebumeter®, and according to the results, both measuring devices exhibited a reduction in the scalp sebum content, compared to before the testing product was applied (p<0.001). The Meibometer® and Sebumeter® measurements showed a significant positive correlation (r=0.411) in the second measurement.
Conclusion : These results showed that the measuring results of both Meibometer® and Sebumeter® had a high correlation and they were appropriate for measurement. However, it is suggested that for reducing the interference of the adjacent hair with sebum and quantitatively evaluating the sebum content on the scalp only, Meibometer® can be a relatively useful analysis technique, and it is expected that further test analysis and studies using Meibometer® will be actively conducted in the future.
