Skin & Hair Analysis
Skin & Hair Analysis – Do you really know your skin and hair
The skin is much more complex than what can be see with the naked eye – that’s why we use the Observ 520 for professional skin analysis. With advanced analysis technology we can view blemishes, fine lines, dryness and uneven skin tone in depth. This allows us to better understand your unique skin concerns to treat existing imperfections, and even address underlying concerns before they become visible.
Hair loss assessment and treatments are provided by the clinic.
What will it show me?
Get ready to face the facts on the true state of your skin! The Observ 520 will examine:
- Wrinkles and fine lines – including ones you can’t even see yet!
- The sebum (oil) content of your skin, which can contribute to acne and blemishes
- Pigmentation – closely assess the severity of freckles, sun spots and age spots
- The true size of your pores – determines if enlarged pores are a problem for your skin
- The moisture content of your skin. Skin dehydration is a serious age-contributing factor!
- Loss of skin firmness. Is your skin ageing well, or losing elasticity at a rapid rate?
- Your skin tones your overall skin health
- Condition, strength and structure of your hair and how to prevent hair loss
