Skin analysis is an examination of data and facts to help uncover and understand skin types, skin conditions, to provide a basis for problem solving and recommendations on the best course of treatment to maintain skin health. As the skin is influenced by a multitude of internal (hormones, allergies, medications, disease etc) as well as external influences (ultra violet light, pollution, smoking, skin care products) the assessment process needs to be thorough and supported by skilled practitioners.
What is the purpose of a skin analysis?
- To determine skin type
- To determine skin condition or conditions
- To aid a diagnosis
- To decide which treatment is best suited
- To evaluate which products to use
- To decide a treatment protocol
Why is it important?
Skin analysis is important not only to establish a diagnosis that will help achieve skin results you are looking for, but also for health reasons to ensure there are no underlying conditions that need to be addressed. It is a way of creating a picture of the current state of your skin, from which a treatment plan can be made.
Unfortunately, consumers are easily confused by the abundance of choice of cosmetic products and claims made, many women incorrectly diagnose their own skin type and condition. We want to work with our clients to help you understand the health & condition of your own skin. Our aim is to work with you to make visible improvements to your skin condition and quality. Optimising skin health and prevention of skin conditions and disease is our primary goal.
The role of our skin:
The skin is the largest organ and covers the whole body- this is your canvas. It represents 15% of our body weight and helps to give us appearance and shape. A very complex organ containing hair follicles, oil/sweat glands, nerves and blood vessels. Skin has many important functions such as protecting the body from the environment, preventing excessive water loss, regulating temperature and protecting the body from infection. The skin is a highly effective eliminator of toxins and a good indicator of our internal health, which is why it is so important that we take care of our skin from a health point of view as well as an aesthetic appearance. As skin is the outermost tissue of the human body people are very aware of, and very sensitive to the appearance of their skin.
Your skin works hard to keep you healthy, so why not treat, support and care for it and keep it healthy in return.
