Skin analyses use advanced imaging techniques such as UV light, polarised light, and multispectral analysis to assess different layers of your skin. They can detect concerns that may not be visible to the naked eye, such as sun damage, pigmentation changes, dehydration, pore size, vascularity, inflammation and bacterial activity. This then allows us to form a personalised treatment plan for your skin and also track progress in your skin over time.

-
Ultraviolet (UV) or Woods's Light
By reflecting off a deeper layer of skin not visible to the naked eye. Reveals underlying sun damage and hyperpigmentation that are not visible to the naked eye.

What DR Lizzie thinks
The facial analyser combines my background in physics and imaging sciences with my aesthetics passion. It also lets me scientifically prove that your treatments are working and adjust your treatment plans over time. I love being able to offer some scientific, data driven insights into your skin concerns and your treatment progress.
I specifically love the technology for conditions like melasma where it allows me to categorise the type of hyperpigmentation you have and lets me plan the best treatment for you.
