Smart sensing and illumination solutions for personal care devices
Enabling smarter, safer, and more personalized experiences in beauty and personal care devices with optical sensing and illumination
Energy-efficient components for compact, battery-powered devices
The next generation of personal care devices - from electric toothbrushes and IPL hair removal systems to skin analyzers and grooming tools - is advancing toward greater intelligence, safety, and personalization. At the heart of this transformation are advanced optical sensing and light emitting technologies.
ams OSRAM offers a comprehensive portfolio of miniaturized, energy-efficient sensors for vital parameters, contact and force detection, spectral sensors, LEDs, and laser diodes designed specifically for beauty and personal care applications. Spectral sensors can analyze skin tone, hydration levels, or pigmentation, enabling customized skincare routines and adaptive light-based treatments.
Proximity and ambient light sensors enhance usability by automatically adjusting displays or activating functions only when needed—saving energy and improving safety. In hair removal and dermatology devices, high-power LEDs and laser components deliver precise illumination, while integrated sensors ensure proper positioning and skin contact before activation.
Optical force sensing enables sleek, button-free designs that respond to gentle pressure, ideal for waterproof and hygienic devices, while reducing cost during system integration. ams OSRAM supports manufacturers to create intelligent, user-centric personal care products that make the difference in a competitive market.
Our portfolio matching sensor is illustrated in the personal care application block diagram below. Key components include indication & accent lighting, color or moisture sensing, light-based treatment, visions systems, vital signs sensing and human machine interface, all crucial for use-case optimized inspection systems.
