Skinscope LED Skin Scanner

Wondering what secrets lie beneath your skin’s surface? Unlock the mysteries of your skin with our Skinscope LED, a state-of-the-art device that lights up unseen skin imperfections.

The Skinscope LED is a comprehensive skin analysis tool developed to reveal both noticeable and hidden skin flaws, including sun damage, uneven texture, dry spots, oily areas, inadequate exfoliation and blemishes. This powerful technology empowers our skincare experts to identify and tackle your unique skin concerns, creating tailored skincare routines and treatments tailored to your specific needs.

WHY CHOOSE SKINSCOPE LED?

UNMATCHED DIAGNOSTIC PRECISION

The SKINSCOPE LED combines traditional wood’s lamp technology with modern UV-light tech, providing an unparalleled level of accuracy. With two diagnostic modes, this device offers a comprehensive skin assessment:

DAYLIGHT MODE:

  • Simulates natural daylight conditions
  • Detects common skin concerns like pigmentation, dry skin, redness, acne and wrinkles

LED-UV MODE:

  • Leverages precise UV light to illuminate hidden skin issues
  • Reveals dehydration, pigmentation, oiliness and clogged pores through fluorescence

KEY ADVANTAGES

COMPLETE SKIN EXAMINATION

  • Evaluates both surface and deep-seated skin conditions
  • Utilises smartphone photography for tracking progress over time

BESPOKE RECOMMENDATIONS

  • Delivers personalised skincare advice based on your diagnosis
  • Provides accessible professional-grade analysis for all skincare enthusiasts

OPERATING PROCEDURE

STEP 1: PREPARING FOR DIAGNOSIS

It’s essential to cleanse your face thoroughly, removing any makeup or sunscreen, for an accurate diagnosis.

STEP 2: INITIAL ASSESSMENT WITH DAYLIGHT MODE

Diagnosis commences with the Daylight mode, scrutinising visible skin irregularities such as pigmentation, dryness and redness.

STEP 3: COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT WITH LED-UV MODE

We then transition to the LED-UV mode to reveal hidden skin conditions. Conditions are signalled through a colour-coded system:

  • Pale Blue: Normal, healthy skin
  • White: Dead skin cells
  • Dark Blue: Dehydrated, thin skin
  • Brown: Dark spots and pigmentation
  • Yellow: Oily areas
  • Dark Pink or Orange: Comedones and clogged pores

STEP 4: CAPTURING IMAGES & ANALYSIS

Utilise the universal smartphone visor to capture images of your skin in both modes, allowing you to monitor changes over time and discuss your findings with a skincare professional.
