The integration of diagnostic and therapeutic tools into home-used devices has significantly transformed dermatology, making advanced skincare technologies more accessible to the public. Home-based diagnostic devices empower individuals to monitor, assess, and track skin conditions in real time, promoting earlier interventions and personalized skincare. Therapeutic devices, on the other hand, enable users to actively treat cosmetic and dermatological concerns, offering greater autonomy in managing skin health outside the clinical setting. These technologies, often inspired by clinical-grade equipment, promise enhanced patient engagement but also raise critical questions regarding safety, efficacy, and regulatory oversight. Importantly, the regulatory status of these devices, particularly for diagnostic tools, varies significantly across regions, affecting standards for quality, permitted energy outputs, and intended uses. This commentary separately explores the opportunities and challenges posed by home-used diagnostic and therapeutic devices, evaluates their roles in cosmetic dermatology, and highlights key insights from the literature to contextualize their growing influence on personalized skincare.
将诊断和治疗工具集成到家用设备中，极大地改变了皮肤病学，使先进的护肤技术更易于公众使用。家用诊断设备使个人能够实时监测、评估和跟踪皮肤状况，促进早期干预和个性化护肤。另一方面，治疗设备使用户能够积极治疗美容和皮肤病问题，在临床环境之外管理皮肤健康方面提供了更大的自主权。这些技术通常受到临床级设备的启发，有望提高患者的参与度，但也引发了关于安全性、有效性和监管监督的关键问题。重要的是，这些设备的监管状况，特别是诊断工具，在不同地区差异很大，影响着质量标准、允许的能量输出和预期用途。本评论分别探讨了家用诊断和治疗设备带来的机遇和挑战，评估了它们在美容皮肤科中的作用，并突出了文献中的关键见解，以说明它们对个性化护肤日益增长的影响。
