Skin Scanner Getting under our skin It's well known that serious skin disorders are caused by sun damage. Contrary to belief, if the sun is hardly shining, even on cloudy days, harmful rays can still reach the epidermis. The damage done isn't always seen on the surface, but through the lens of the skin scanner, available through our clinic, many are bound to be in for a shock, since sun damage could lead to serious skin problems later in life, as well as adding 10-15 years to our appearance. The good news is that sun damaged skin can be repaired. For more information please email us on  Skin Scanner Treatments The skin scanner accurately diagnoses any problem areas in facial skin by using a special ultraviolet filter that reveals underlying damage caused to the skin long before it surfaces. The procedure is quick and completely painless. Just place you face into the scanner and it detects skin problems in the form of different colors for different conditions. Blue is normal, but white indicates thickened skin, violet shows dehydration, yellow means oily and red indicates pigmentation. Drop into our clinic for a free skin scanner consultation and personal assessment of your skin condition. Act’s experts will determine the level of damage your skin has received and devise a plan of action on how to protect and repair your skin. This may include mild glycolic peels and microdermabrasion, or any of the glycolic, anti-oxidant or retinoid products to improve the texture of skins with minimal damage. For skin that needs urgent attention, The Hospital Group Cosmetic Treatments may recommend a chemical peel or laser Peel. For more information please email us on  Skin Scanner Treatments
