Measurement and analysis of skin electrical impedance

Acta Derm Venereol Suppl (Stockh). 1994:185:34-8.

Abstract

Skin impedance is high due to high resistance of stratum corneum and varies dramatically by the condition of measurement and circumference inside and outside the human body. This paper describes the measurement method of electrical skin impedance, model of skin impedance, and the applications of skin impedance such as skin moisturization measurement.
