About
Dermus SkinScanner-M bridges the gap between surface dermoscopy and deep-tissue imaging. A real-time optical image guides the placement; a two-second scan then shows the full depth of the skin — epidermis, dermis, vessels, fillers and lesions — on the device and in the SkinAid platform. Objective information before, during and after treatment.
Treatment possibilities
Indications from the manufacturer's documentation. Each links to the treatment page.
How to use
Dermus skin scanner in the treatment room, step by step.
- 01
Position with optical guidance
Place the handheld on the skin. The built-in camera shows the area live at 10× magnification, so the scan line can be set precisely and repeated at follow-up.
- 02
Scan
Press once. The transducer sweeps mechanically across the field and captures the full depth of the skin in about two seconds.
- 03
Read the image on the spot
Optical and ultrasound images appear side by side on the screen: skin layers, thickness, lesion extent, vessels and injected material.
- 04
Analyse in SkinAid
Recordings are saved to the cloud. The web platform adds automated layer segmentation, correlated annotation, measurements in all dimensions and volume estimation.
- 05
Document and compare
Quantify skin changes over time and use the images in consultations, treatment planning and follow-up.

Detailed information
Technology, indications and specifications as documented by Dermus.
- Optically guided ultrasound
- The SkinScanner-M combines a dermoscopy camera with a 20–40 MHz single-element ultrasound transducer. The optical image guides positioning; the ultrasound shows the tissue beneath — down to 10 mm, well past the reach of dermoscopy, RCM or LC-OCT.
- In aesthetic practice
- Visualise hyaluronic acid filler and its position relative to vessels in lips and chin, monitor healing after CO₂ laser, assess androgenetic alopecia, acne, cysts and dermatofibromas, and image nail and scalp.
- In dermatology and oncology
- Used in hospitals and research centres for melanoma thickness estimation, basal cell carcinoma subtypes and margins, psoriasis, hidradenitis suppurativa and rosacea. Trusted by Erasmus Hospital, Roswell Park, Semmelweis University and Beiersdorf.
- SkinAid platform
- Web-based analysis with AI-assisted segmentation of skin layers, correlated annotation between optical and ultrasound images, lesion measurements, volume estimation and quantification of change over time.
- Made in Budapest
- Dermus Ltd. was founded in 2018 as a spin-off from Pázmány Péter Catholic University. ISO 13485 certified; SkinScanner-M received MDR certification in 2024 and is sold in more than 20 countries.
