programmable devices are definitely around the corner . we will know more in about a weeks time, when p&g makes its presentation at CES 2019.
this is an extract from longman's post - Olay brings its latest innovations to CES 2019
The Olay FaceNavi Smart Wand leverages diamagnetism, which allows the electromagnetic device to selectively repel key skin care ingredients, thereby driving them deeper into the skin.
The wand can be "tuned" to repel specific ingredients in different Olay formulations as prescribed by the Olay Skin Advisor mobile app, which will provide a much more personalized and optimized skin care routine.
Users begin by opening the app and allowing it to visualize their facial skin issues by zone.
Then, they apply a product, containing active ingredients such as niacinamide and peptides, which are recommended by the skin analysis results and optimized by personal preferences.
The Smart Wand applicator then delivers the preferred rate and depth penetration of the actives while the users moves the device around the zones of the face recommended by the analysis results.
For example, the wand would repel more peptides to target wrinkles and more niacinamide for visible pores.
Instructions are available as both real-time visualization and/or voice guidance. The app collects data to track skin progress and suggest changes as needed.
The wand was developed with Australia-based OBJ, a self-described "a global leader in magnetically enhanced transdermal molecular delivery technology."
Olay is exploring additional applications for the wand to expand the potential of this enhanced application technique.
