SKINSCOPE by SkinCeuticals
SKINSCOPE LED EXPLAINED
An easy, portable full-face diagnostic designed to reveal underlying skin concerns before they rise to the surface.
While some skin conditions are visible in everyday light, some are only visible under UV light which highlights sub-surface skin damage.
The Skinscope LED is designed to help assess patients’ skin through the use of two light modes: a simulated daylight mode for reviewing visible concerns, and a LED-UV light mode for identifying underlying damage.
The benefits are clear:
Enhances diagnosis and treatment recommendations
Encourages follow-up engagement through smartphone photography
Helps track patient progress
Increases service and retail sales
A LOOK INSIDE THE SKINSCOPE
SKINSCOPE LED DIAGNOSTIC
THE SCIENCE OF FLUORESCENCE TECHNOLOGY
Fluorescence is caused when one radiation wavelength is absorbed by a compound which is reflected back at a different wavelength. Certain compounds excite electrons in molecules that change the wavelength energy such that it converts from shortwave UV light to longer wave visible light.
When a specific range of UV light (320-365nm) illuminates skin, it reacts in different ways based on what it comes in contact with. Melanin absorbs the light showing as an absence of color, but other compounds “excite” follicular fluorescence in the skin, changing the wavelength to colors visible to the human eyes. Based on the visible shades that are reflected back from the skin, characteristic diagnosis can be made.
