Dr Xavier's Award Winning Medical Aesthetic Clinic Southampton

OBSERV™ Skin Analysis

At Dr Xavier's Clinic we are committed to providing you with the most advanced and effective treatments for your skin health.

That's why we're excited to offer you the power of the Observ 520, a state-of-the-art skin imaging system that allows us to see beneath the surface of your skin and gain a comprehensive understanding of your skin's health.

WHAT IS THE OBSERV™ SYSTEM?

The Observ™ is a sophisticated skin analysis system that uses patented skin fluorescence and polarised light illumination technology to diagnose a wide variety of skin conditions, revealing issues that may be difficult to see with the naked eye. It enables you to reveal a complete picture of your skin.

Unlike a regular visual examination, Observ™ utilises different light modes and filters to capture detailed images of your skin's surface and subsurface layers.

WHAT DOES OBSERV™ SHOW US?

This system allows us to visualise various skin characteristics that are often invisible to the naked eye, including:

• Fine Lines and Wrinkles: See the extent and depth of lines and wrinkles.
• Pore Size and Congestion: Identify enlarged or blocked pores.
• Oiliness and Dryness: Assess the distribution of sebum and areas of dehydration.
• Pigmentation: Reveal sun damage, age spots, and uneven skin tone both on the surface and below.
• Vascularity: Identify areas of redness, broken capillaries, and other vascular conditions.
• Skin Texture: Analyse the smoothness and overall texture of your skin.
• Hidden Damage: Uncover potential underlying issues before they become visible on the surface.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR OBSERV™ CONSULTATION:

The Observ™ skin analysis is a quick, comfortable, and non-invasive procedure. Here's what you can expect:

1. Consultation: One of our experienced clinic therapists and skincare professionals, Elizabeth and Sarah, will discuss your skin concerns and goals.
2. The Scan: You will be positioned comfortably in front of the Observ™ device. The system will take a series of digital photographs of your face under different light settings. This process usually takes just a few minutes.
3. Image Review: We will review the detailed images with you, explaining the findings and highlighting areas of interest.
4. Personalised Recommendations: Based on the analysis, we will discuss suitable treatment options and create a customised skincare plan to address your specific needs. To help us understand your current skin health status we recommend that you bring your current skincare products with you to your analysis

OBSERVATION MODES

The Observ™ uses several light observation modes, including:

• Daylight: A "control" image taken without interference from artificial lights.
  
  
• Parallel Polarised: Suppresses surface shine to reveal deeper skin conditions.
  
  
• Cross Polarised: Suppresses surface shine and allows a view into the skin.
  
  
• True UV: Exposes surface and deeper skin abnormalities, creating distinguishable fluorescence patterns.
  
  
• Simulated Woods Light: Adjusts the light spectrum to reveal diagnostic dimensions such as skin dehydration and oiliness.
  
  
• 360 Light: Offers analysis of skin volume and areas of atrophy and damage.

WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM AN OBSERV™ SKIN ANALYSIS?

The Observ™ is beneficial for anyone who wants to gain a deeper understanding of their skin's health, regardless of their age or skin concerns. It's particularly helpful for individuals who are:

• Considering new skincare treatments.
• Wanting to address specific skin issues like acne, pigmentation, or aging.
• Looking to establish a preventative skincare routine.
• Curious about the underlying health of their skin.
• Before and after comparisons - if you are wanting to track the progress of your medical skin treatments.

SHED A NEW LIGHT ON YOUR SKIN!

To demonstrate the unique abilities of the Observ™ system, our clinic manager Martin shows us here the importance of sun protection.

After a full-face cleanse, he then applied sunscreen to his left cheek and the Observ™ system clearly demonstrates how the sunscreen is protecting the skin, where applied, from harmful UV light.
