Abstract
A skin treatment system () comprises a functional member () configured to perform a treatment action on skin () and to be moved over the skin () during operation of the system (), and a measurement unit () including a measurement member () configured to be moved over the skin () along with the functional member () and to be made to indent the skin () in the process. The measurement member () is displaceable in the measurement unit (), and the measurement unit () is configured to measure a value related to an extent to which the measurement member () gets displaced relative to a default position in the measurement unit () by action of the skin (). The measured value corresponds to a measure of an extent to which the skin is indented by the measurement member (). On the basis of measurement results generated by the measurement unit (), it is possible to automatically adapt operation of the system () to the type of body area under treatment.
