Observ 520 Skin Analysis

The OBSERV 520 uses six distinct light modes to examine various skin structures and conditions,
making it one of the most comprehensive diagnostic devices available.

1. Daylight Mode
   Simulates a natural daylight environment to reveal visible aspects of skin appearance like
   texture, colour variations, and surface shine. This baseline helps distinguish
   surface and sub-surface skin conditions from aesthetic aspects.
2. True UV Mode
   Uses true UV light to expose underlying skin health concerns, including pigmentation,
   sun damage, and excessively sebum-prone zones. It uncovers invisible UV light patterns
   and deeper-level imperfections that aren’t yet visible to the naked eye.
3. Cross-Polarised Mode
   Eliminates colour distractions and reflections of light to display vascular conditions,
   inflammation, and microvascular structures clearly. It’s ideal for identifying common skin concerns
   like redness and facial flushing.
4. Parallel Polarised Mode
   Focuses on surface texture and textural topography — useful for highlighting visible
   pore structures, dry lines, rough patches, and bumpy skin texture.
5. Wood’s Lamp Mode
   Analyses dermal structures using invisible UV light and solid-state LED to detect
   skin lipids, hydration imbalances, oil flow, and bacterial activity.
   This mode is a key player for blemish-prone skin and inflammation.
6. Complexion Analysis Mode
   Combines the outputs of multiple light filters to map skin tone inhomogeneities,
   dermal fillers integration zones, pigment density, and vascular abnormalities.
   These enhanced images support tailored skincare journey planning.

Whether you’re a seasoned skin professional or starting your aesthetic education pathway,
the benefits of Observ Skin Analysis are vast:

• In-depth understanding of dermal layers and deeper skin layers
• Accurate detection of skin inflammation, pigmentation, and vascular damage
• Clear insight into common skin tone irregularities and textural concerns
• Visual evidence of product effectiveness and skin progress
• Scientific support for personalised treatment plan development
• Informed decisions on skincare products and the range of skin treatments
• Prevention-focused approach for long-term skin health

The Observ 520x uses a principle of skin fluorescence and visible light to produce
distinguishable fluorescence patterns in the skin. By combining a spectrum of light wavelengths —
including blue light and wavelength blue — the device captures examination images across
different depths of the skin tissue.

It takes just seconds. Your face is placed in the diagnostic dome, and using
specialised lighting and advanced camera technology, the device scans various
skin analysis modes.

Each session stores data into an image library and client database — which means you’ll have a
visual timeline of your skin over time. This allows therapists to develop an
informed treatment plan that adapts with your changing needs.

The real magic of this skin analyser technology lies in what it reveals:

• Skin dehydration, moisture loss, and oil flow
• Pigmentation and sun damage in the deepest layer
• Surface texture like enlarged pores, roughness, and micro-relief
• Cold sores, blemish-acne prone skin, and inflammation
• Loss of skin firmness, elasticity, and volume
• Skin irregularities, skin lipid imbalance, and inflammatory hyperpigmentation
• The underlying concern behind persistent skin issues or sensitivity

It decodes everything from glycation patterns to age management treatment triggers — helping both
client and therapist navigate a skincare journey with purpose.

Clients are often shocked by the dermal detail this advanced imaging technology uncovers.
What appears as a simple breakout on the surface layer might be the result of
poor barrier function or excessive sebum production at a cellular level.

On the other end, pigmentation and vascular flare-ups may not be visible yet but are already
developing in the dermal structures — creating a ticking clock on future skin concerns.

This diagnostic device gives Skin Therapists and aesthetic professionals the
deeper insight they need to prevent, treat, and educate.

Post-analysis, clients walk away with:

• A personalised skin profile and prescribed treatment plan
• Clear consultation notes and visual examination images
• Realistic goals for improving skin to balance and restore
• Customer trust is built on visual evidence — not product sales
• Motivation to commit to skin care recommendations and treatment bookings

This interactive approach supports client service satisfaction and builds a
loyal customer base through education, transparency, and results.

Observ Skin Analysis isn’t just about detecting existing imperfections — it’s about preventing them.

From early-stage vascular conditions to postinflammatory hyperpigmentation, the scan provides
valuable insight into potential damage and allows early interventions through:

• Cosmeceutical skincare
• Aesthetic treatments
• Barrier support protocols
• SPF strategies
• Anti-ageing and hydration-focused regimens

It supports skin protection, helps distinguish suitable products, and guides your
aesthetic skin consultations through a client’s full-face digital images.

Pricing varies by clinic and how the service is packaged. In most cases:

• $49–$79 as a standalone high-tech skin consultation
• Complementary to skin analysis consultations or treatment bookings

At our studio, we offer complimentary skin analysis as part of any prescribed treatment plan
or skincare consultation — because your skin health journey deserves clarity from the start.

OBSERV scans are also included in our client notes, image library, and
aesthetic plan documents — all part of ensuring your skincare plan is backed by
science and tailored care.
