Any professional skin treatment practitioner knows of the importance of a good skin analysis to determine what course of action to take when treating any skin condition. From acne problems to anti aging solutions it is imperative that your skin is examined by a professional in order to get the best treatment for you. There are various digital measuring tools available to dermatologist to aid in the process of accurate skin analysis.


Photo imaging technology is a tool that can help analyze skin with the aid of special software. It is important for a person to know the how each treatment will affect their appearance and the expected outcomes at each level of the treatments as these processes take several attempts to reach desired results. Patients could be disappointed if they are expecting immediate results and feel they have been mislead so it is important to educate the client on each step of the program.


Using digital imaging in skin analysis process has been around since early 1990s. Skin analysis software such as Skin Xpert, Skin Scope and Beauty Scope were very popular brands at the time. This technology was based on a high resolution camera that was able to look at the skin close up in order for a professional to compare with different skin conditions to aid diagnosis.


Fluorescence spectroscopy is the latest breed of digital imaging and used light spectrums to analysis the surface of the skin. It allows us to view the skin under ultra violet lights which enable us to see any problem areas that would have otherwise been invisible
to the naked eye. This technology enables us to see the layers of tissues unveiling any unusual or damaged skin areas. It has been very useful in the analysis of skin aging and acne problems but has also been very useful in detecting skin cancers and melanomas.


Photo imaging skin analysis is typically used in dermatological clinics to asses in cosmetic processes. It will enable the dermatologist to view the areas of the skin that have been heavily affected by sin damage or open and enlarged pores. This allows for precision focus remedies to the problems as each area of the face will have different issues and the whole face never has the same type of skin or issues.


Computerized Photo Imaging Skin Analysis works by taking several of photographs of your face and then microscopically analyzing certain areas of your skin. Your age and lifestyle is factored into the determination and the Skin Analysis Computer gives you a score for each of the key factors relating to your skin's condition and appearance. This will inevitably help you to achieve and maintain younger, healthier looking skin. Computerized Photo Imaging Skin Analysis test analyses your actual skin condition highlighting problems such as:



• Spots
• Pigmentation
• Pore Size
• Skin Unevenness
• Lines and Wrinkles
• UV Spots
• Sun Damage


From these determinations the dermatologist can then suggest the best course of action or procedures that will help with any problems that have unfolded. Skin peels, laser treatments or simple a medical skin care range are the types of treatments that are on offer.
