Profile diagnostics in personalized dermatology, dermatopathology and cosmetics

摘要

The present disclosure relates generally to methods and apparatus for profiling the components and associated conditions in a dermatological sample, and preparing personalized cosmetics or treatments. In particular, the present disclosure relates to the use of surface desorption ionization-mass spectrometry apparatus and omics methodologies to profile or “fingerprint” dermatological samples, such as skin and hair samples, for personalized cosmetics. In particular, the method and apparatus can allow real time mass spectrometry-based lipidomics and metabolomics to phenotype skin and hair samples for molecular personalized cosmetics.
