- AEVA-HE² HIGH RESOLUTION 3D SCANNER
Overview
Quantifying skin and body changes with unprecedented precision
The AEVA-HE² is a universal high-resolution 3D skin imaging system designed for in-vivo measurement of skin shape, surface relief, and volume changes. Developed by EOTECH, it provides non-contact 3D imaging for clinical studies, cosmetic research, dermatological evaluation, and product efficacy testing.
Based on active stereometry, the AEVA-HE² combines fringe projection and stereovision to capture high-resolution 3D skin images with colour texture. Its dual 5 MP cameras and interchangeable fields of view support measurements from fine skin microstructures to larger facial or body areas.
With VisioTOP or VisioHOP positioning benches, the system enables reproducible before-and-after measurements. The AEVA software quantifies pores, wrinkles, fine lines, folds, and volume changes for objective skincare, anti-aging, aesthetic, and dermatological studies.
The AEVA-HE² is a turnkey 3D imaging solution for cosmetic manufacturers, ingredient suppliers, dermatological product companies, CROs, and research/objectification laboratories that need reliable, high-resolution, and reproducible skin surface measurements.
Substantiating cosmetic claims requires objective and reproduceable data
The efficacy of any cosmetic, dermatological, or aesthetic treatment must be proven with quantifiable evidence. However, measuring subtle changes on the living human body presents significant challenges:
Complexity
Skin is a dynamic, complex surface. Capturing micro-relief, wrinkles, pores, and volume changes accurately is difficult.
Variability
Subject repositioning, skin condition, and environmental factors can introduce variability, compromising the reliability of results over time.
Scalability
The need to measure everything from fine lines on the face to the morphology of body parts requires multiple, often incompatible, systems.
A complete setup ensures reliable and repeatable results at every stage
Our solution is built on three pillars that work in concert to eliminate variability and streamline the clinical study workflow.
1. The Sensor: AEVA-HE²
The core imaging device, providing high-resolution 3D data with multiple field-of-view capabilities.
2. The Positioning Benches: VisioTOP & VisioHOP
The cornerstone for reliable measurement. These benches ensure stable and repeatable positioning of volunteers between different measurement time points.
- VisioTOP 500: For local and global face measurements.
- VisioHOP: For body part measurements, enabling 360° views.
3. The AEVA Software:
A dedicated platform for clinical studies that guides the user from acquisition to automated analysis.
Features

FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the AEVA-HE² system?
The AEVA-HE² is a universal high-resolution 3D scanning sensor designed for the in vivo measurement of skin topography, face topology, and body morphology changes. It is primarily used to objectify product claims in the cosmetic and dermatological industries.
What technology does the AEVA system use to capture 3D data?
The system utilizes active stereometry, which is a state-of-the-art combination of fringes projection and stereovision. It uses a miniaturized projection unit with a 50 W high-power white LED and two high-resolution 5-megapixel cameras to calculate depth and shape.
How does the system handle different measurement sizes, such as a single wrinkle versus a whole thigh?
The AEVA-HE² features multiple field of view (FOV) capability. By simply interchanging objective sets, users can switch between four standard configurations: S, M, L, and XL. This allows the sensor to transition from measuring microscopic skin relief to large body parts.
Can AEVA-HE² be used for before-and-after studies?
Yes. When combined with positioning benches such as VisioTOP or VisioHOP, AEVA-HE² supports reproducible positioning and imaging at different time points, making it suitable for treatment follow-up and clinical studies.
How do VisioTOP and VisioHOP help with reproducible positioning?
They help place the volunteer in a stable and centered position using tools such as a back head rest, earplugs, and a red laser line for lip alignment. The height and angle of the 3D sensor can also be adjusted according to previous settings for consistent image capture.
What specific product claims can be supported by these measurements?
The system provides objective data for a wide variety of claims, including:
- Local Zone: Anti-aging, anti-wrinkle, pore reduction, and hydration.
- Global Face: Firming, reshaping, and fillers.
- Body Part: Slimming and anti-cellulite
For more details about the analysis tools and measured parameters, please refer to the AEVA v4 software.
Can the system capture skin color in addition to 3D shape?
Yes, there is an optional high-resolution color camera add-on. This allows the system to map realistic color texture onto the 3D models, which is useful for visualizing skin tone and improving the realism of the digital models
What is the 3D Module in AEVA-HE and AEVA Software?
The 3D Module in AEVA-HE and AEVA software provides precise geometry analysis for the face and lips. It is designed to capture high-resolution 3D measurements of the full face and lip area, giving researchers detailed quantitative data on shape, symmetry, volume, surface texture, and contour changes. This makes it especially useful for evaluating treatment effects, before-and-after comparisons, and objective cosmetic or dermatological studies.
What is the 4D Module in AEVA-HE and AEVA Software?
The 4D Module brings skin dynamics to life by acquiring consecutive 3D images over time to analyze the impact of expression (mimic) on cosmetic (changes in skin topography, micro-relief, volume, and shape).
When should I use VisioHOP or VisioTOP 500?
If your 3D imaging and analysis is focused only on the face, VisioTOP 500 would be sufficient.
However, if you need 3D imaging of body areas, either alone or in addition to the face, you would need VisioHOP.
