What Does Digital Skin Analysis Actually Tell Us?
With so many devices out there offering analysis and skin age, how do you know what it all means?
Well that’s our job. We use the Observ 520x and it’s not just for skin tone and texture.
Or initial analysis looks at images in various modes, such as natural daylight, UV, paralleled polarised, grey light, woods light and more.
What does actually show us? Well based on the image and mode we can identify issues such as sun damage, melasma, vitiligo, dehydration, enlarged and clogged pores, rosacea, dryness, the list goes on!!!
We are also able to look at facial harmony and ascertain symmetry and volume loss. As well as taking a deeper dive into static and expression lines.
The key to an effective analysis, is your practitioners ability to interpret the results. I remember as a junior nurse being able to record an ECG, but it was after years of experience and once I was an advanced nurse practitioner that I could actually read one.
We have been working with digital skin analysis pretty much from inception and are skilled at being able to read the results and then offer a bespoke package of care.
Make sure your analysis tells the story it needs to.
