A scanner in your practice
We bring the scanner. You pay per analysis.
No purchase price, no base fee. We place the 3D skin scanner together with the consultation software in your practice, train your team, and bill per analysis carried out. If it does not fit, we take the device back.
Models
Three device classes to choose from.

The newest device class
Meicet MD300
Compact successor in the Meicet 3D range, mounted on a mobile trolley. Measures sensitivity, pigmentation and pores at three severity levels each, and estimates an aging grade per facial region.

The premium model
Isemeco D9
Enhanced optics and lighting for demanding aesthetic and dermatology practices. Higher detail in the wrinkle heatmaps and 180° full-face in a single capture.
- Binocular grating structured light, 0.1 mm scan accuracy
- 0.2 mm 3D model accuracy, 0.1 ml volume-difference
- 36 million effective pixels, 12 HD 3D captures per session
- Four spectra: natural, parallel/cross polarised, UV
- Wrinkles quantified in nine stages (0–8)
- Suitable for 40+ scans / day
Specifications per manufacturer Meicet: D8 and D9 as of May 2026, MD300 from the 2025 product brochure. We clarify the MD300 connection to the Dermalia report software case by case before an order. Which model fits your practice we clarify in the consultation, depending on patient frequency, available space and desired report depth.
Methodology
What 3D topography actually measures.
Unlike pure 2D multispectral devices (such as VISIA or Observ), the Isemeco scanner produces a real 3D mesh of the skin surface. Wrinkle depth therefore becomes a geometric measurement, not an estimate from shadow and reflection. What this means in practice:
Geometric wrinkle measurement
Structured-light projection and binocular optics reconstruct the skin in 3D. Wrinkle depths come with 0.1 mm scan and 0.2 mm model accuracy per manufacturer.
Volume difference in ml
Before/after comparisons for filler, fat transfer and biostimulators get a quantifiable result. Volume-difference calculation runs at 0.1 ml accuracy.
Four spectra in one session
Natural light, parallel-polarised, cross-polarised and UV. Pigment clusters, sub-surface structures and UV markers all map onto the same 3D mesh.
Raw data stays in the EU
Since 2024 the Isemeco backend cluster runs on Aliyun Frankfurt. No third-country transfer to the US or China, the GDPR record stays clean.
Regulatory
What you sign as a practice.
So you don't have to ask every regulatory question in the consultation, here are the key points upfront.
CE marking Class I
Isemeco devices are CE-certified by the manufacturer as Class I optical medical device (purely passive imaging). As an operating practice you therefore fall under the user duties of the German MPDG (Medical Devices Implementation Act) or your local equivalent in the EU.
User duties under MPDG
Standard for any practice operating a medical device: keep a device log, regular visual inspection, document the patient's consent to imaging. We provide a consent template.
No ionising radiation
Capture works with visible light, polarised light and UV-A. No radiation-protection overhead, no permit beyond MPDG.
Clean data-processing setup
The practice is the data controller (Art. 4(7) GDPR), Dermalia acts as data processor (Art. 28 GDPR). The data-processing agreement is signed on onboarding, the template is publicly available at /sicherheit/auftragsverarbeitung.
How it works
From enquiry to a running device.
You carry no procurement risk. We bring the device, show it on a real face, and it only stays if it convinces you.
Demo on site
We come to your practice with device and software and walk the whole flow on a real capture: scan, report, treatment plan, follow-up appointment. About an hour.
Placement
The device stays. We set up the connection, train your team in 60 minutes and hand over the data protection documents. Nothing to pay up front.
Billed per analysis
You only pay for analyses you actually carry out. Billed at month end, traceable in your dashboard.
Running it
Software updates run automatically. After six months you see the first progress comparison for your patients. If the device fails, a replacement arrives.
Note
You already have a scanner?
If an Isemeco D8 or D9 is already in your practice, you can connect the Dermalia report software directly, without a new device. See the software integration for details.
Frequently asked questions
What practices typically ask beforehand.
How soon is the device in place?
After the demo we settle the date and configuration; from there it depends on stock. The first scan typically runs a few weeks after you say yes. We name a binding date once the device is scheduled.
What room and technical requirements apply?
The MD300 sits on a mobile trolley (about 109 × 97 cm footprint, 150 to 185 cm tall) and weighs 9.8 kg; the D9 is a standing unit of roughly 60 × 65 × 150 cm, the D8 a desktop device. None should stand directly in front of a window (ambient light reflections). All need a standard 230 V outlet and WiFi or LAN.
What happens if the device develops a defect?
Manufacturer service runs through the authorised distributor with on-site service in Germany. Response time on defect reports is typically 24 to 48 hours. The report software on our side keeps running independently of the device, existing reports remain available.
Can we see a report beforehand?
Yes. A full sample report sits publicly at /analyse/beispiel. The demo in your practice also produces a real report from a real face, and we walk you through how branding, modules and recommendations are configured per practice.
Who owns the report data?
The practice is the data controller, the report data belongs to you. You can request a complete export of all reports as JSON at any time (Art. 20 GDPR), we provide the export directly. At contract end we hand over all data and then delete on our side.
Integration with our PVS or KIS?
Dermalia currently runs as a standalone patient-report layer alongside your practice software. A GDT interface for common PVS systems is on the roadmap; we share concrete timing in the consultation, depending on your PVS.
Do we need to run a DPIA?
Yes. The processing of biometric facial scans falls under the obligation for a Data Protection Impact Assessment (Art. 35 GDPR). We provide our DPIA template for you to integrate into your own documentation. For larger practices we recommend coordination with your data protection officer.
