Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2018166804A1] Disclosed is a method with different embodiments for determining a level of colonisation of acne bacterial on skin. The method can comprise the following steps: for at least one area of the skin of a user, when the area of the skin is illuminated with ultraviolet and/or blue light, recording the skin area using a camera, wherein the camera is designed to capture at least light in a fluorescence wavelength range of fluorescence means generated by the acne bacteria; in the recording, determining a captured amount of light which has been emitted as fluorescence as a result the illumination by the fluorescence means; and allocating a level of colonisation of the skin with the determined detected amount of light, wherein the allocation of the level of colonisation of the skin to the determined detected amount of light takes place using a data base stored in a processor cloud architecture.
