Have you ever wondered what goes on beneath the surface of your skin? With the naked eye, we can only observe the top layer of our skin. But in order to optimally tailor your skin care to your situation, more is needed. Fortunately, today we have a way to look deeper into your skin layers: with our OBSERV skin scan. With this skin analysis system, which we have in our offices in Groningen, Heerenveen and Assen, we can make a detailed skin scan of all the layers of your skin.
What is the OBSERV skin scan?
The OBSERV skin scan allows us to scrutinize all the details of your skin thanks to five different analyses and three vision modes. What makes this skin scan so special are the different light techniques used by the OBSERV. Patterns and structures become visible as the light reacts to your skin cells, secretions and skin flora. With different light techniques we bring your skin to life on screen:
- True UV mode: This ultraviolet light reveals the deeper layers of skin and helps identify sunlight damage such as pigmentation and premature aging.
- Wood’s light: This type of bluish ultraviolet light detects skin problems such as acne, fungi and pigmentation.
- Cross-polarization: With cross-polarization, light is filtered in a way that reveals skin structures that are normally difficult to see, such as fine lines, wrinkles and the overall texture of the skin. This technique allows us to analyze the skin condition of deeper skin layers.
- Parallel polarization: This technique makes superficial skin structures more visible, such as redness, impurities and other superficial skin conditions.
- Daylight Mode: This mode simulates the effect of natural daylight and we use it to evaluate the skin in a neutral light environment. It helps to assess skin color, complexion and overall condition without the influences of artificial light or other filters.
What can we analyze?
As a skin therapist, we use the OBSERV skin scan to get a clear picture of your pigmentation, sebum production, capillaries and any underlying skin problems. We detect skin conditions related to disruptions in your skin’s internal processes. Consider:
- Skin texture: disruptions in the keratinization process, which can cause loss of firmness and resilience, infections and inflammation.
- Skin discolorations: pigmentation disorders, vascular disorders, inflammatory reactions.
- Skin secretions: such as impaired acid mantle, essential fatty acid deficiency, acne or bacterial imbalance.
It is important to know that makeup and creams can mask the visibility of skin problems. Therefore, we always advise you to cleanse your skin properly before we do a skin scan. This way we get the most honest and complete picture of your skin. And with these insights, we can tailor our skin therapy treatments and advice perfectly to your personal situation.
A free intake with the skin therapist of The Laser Clinic
Before we start skin therapy treatments, we invite you for a free, no-obligation intake. We take the time to listen to your skin needs, discuss your history and ask some lifestyle questions. This is followed by the OBSERV skin scan. Based on the scan results and your story, together we draw up a personal treatment plan. This often consists of a combination of treatments in our clinic and matching skin products for at home. In this way we work together on your optimal skin health and skin improvement.
The treatment process: the result in black and white
What makes our treatment process at The Laser Clinic so unique? We continuously monitor your skin improvement. We regularly take another skin scan so that we can compare the new images with those taken before the treatment. By comparing the images side by side, improvements and differences become clearly visible. This not only provides insight, but also extra motivation to continue working with the skin therapist! With this method, we work towards long-term results and a healthy, radiant skin.
Curious about what the OBSERV skin scan can do for you? Schedule a no-obligation intake at one of our locations in Groningen, Heerenveen or Assen. Together we will map your skin condition and work on the best version of your skin!
