In this study, multispectral near\u2010infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) imaging was used to quantitatively and qualitatively measure the extent of shaving\u2010induced erythema. The research compares a safety razor and a cartridge razor to evaluate their impact on skin irritation.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Materials and methods<\/jats:title>\n Fifty\u2010nine healthy male volunteers without pre\u2010existing skin conditions were enrolled. Basic demographics were recorded, and participants' faces or necks were imaged before shaving. Shaving was conducted on the right side of the face\/neck with the safety razor and on the left side of the face\/neck using the 3\u2010blade cartridge razor. Images were captured immediately after shaving, at 5 and 10 min post\u2010shaving.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n Tissue oxygen saturation (StO2) measurements demonstrated that the safety razor induced significantly less erythema than the cartridge razor. Immediately after shaving, 40.3% of skin shaved with the safety razor had erythema compared to 57.6% for the cartridge razor. At 5 min post\u2010shaving, 36.5% of skin shaved with the safety razor had erythema, compared to 53.8% of cartridge razor.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n Multispectral NIRS revealed significant differences in shaving\u2010induced erythema between safety and cartridge razors. Safety razors demonstrated a lower incidence of erythema, suggesting a potential advantage for individuals prone to skin irritation. This study contributes valuable insights into skin irritation and highlights the potential of multispectral NIRS in dermatology research.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/srt.13598","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,27]],"date-time":"2024-01-27T02:18:18Z","timestamp":1706321898000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Multispectral near\u2010infrared spectroscopy study evaluating the effect of razor design on shaving\u2010induced erythema"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"Chris","family":"Boodoo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"MIMOSA Diagnostics Toronto Ontario Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dragos","family":"Duta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"MIMOSA Diagnostics Toronto Ontario Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nathan","family":"Swift","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"MIMOSA Diagnostics Toronto Ontario Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Paul","family":"Hunter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"MIMOSA Diagnostics Toronto Ontario Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-7611-7412","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anna","family":"Khimchenko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"MIMOSA Diagnostics Toronto Ontario Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"General","family":"Leung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"MIMOSA Diagnostics Toronto Ontario Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Karen","family":"Cross","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"MIMOSA Diagnostics Toronto Ontario Canada"},{"name":"Department of Surgery Dalhousie Universitys Halifax Nova Scotia Canada"},{"name":"Innovators in Residence Program Nova Scotia Health Authority Halifax Nova Scotia Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365\u20102133.2011.10783.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ics.12328"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ics.12648"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/srt.13466"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/srt.13241"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/iwj.13474"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_8_1","first-page":"574","volume-title":"Assessment of Tissue Viability in Acute Thermal Injuries Using Near Infrared Point Spectroscopy","author":"Cross KM","year":"2010"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archderm.1963.01590240198033"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_10_1","volume-title":"Biology","author":"Campbell NA","year":"2005"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_11_1","unstructured":"Website.
