Why a Professional Skin Analysis is Vital For Your Internal Health

Did you know that your skin is your ‘check engine light?’ When you are having concerns with the skin, it highlights issues that are happening within the body.

A professional skin analysis is more than just looking at what your skin looks like. 

It’s identifying root causes and looking at the skin as the holistic organ that it is.

In this blog post, I explore what professional skin analysis is, its benefits, and why you should consider booking an appointment for yourself!

What is a Professional Skin Analysis?

A professional skin analysis involves taking a cutting-edge imaging system that has a high-resolution camera that can examine your skin. 

It uses free spectrum imaging to examine your skin covering things such as acne, open and blocked pores, hyperpigmentation, UV damage and wrinkles.

These reports are then generated and I help you to create a tailored skincare program that involves both treatments and products that are within your budget.

A skin analysis can help to identify the causes of skin issues and help you to better understand how to take care of your skin.

Who Should Have a Professional Skin Analysis?

Anybody who has skin concerns and is struggling to find the root cause of the problem will benefit from having a skin analysis.

Also, if you’re interested in what types of treatments and products would work best for your skin, having a professional skin analysis can help to understand that. 

What is Facial Mapping?

When you combine a professional skin analysis with facial mapping, you can really get to the root cause of any skin concerns.

Facial mapping is a Chinese medicine method that pinpoints the underlying cause of skin issues.

Please see the image below which highlights where the issues may be within the body.

I use this with my clients so that we can holistically look at the skin and make diet and lifestyle changes along with creating a routine that targets the specific issue.

How Should I Prepare for a Professional Skin Analysis?

To prepare for a skin analysis, makeup must be completely removed and I actually recommend not wearing any makeup at all for that day. 

We will have a chat about the skin issues you are currently experiencing and I will ask you about your current lifestyle and diet choices.

During the skin analysis, your eyes will be covered with pads to prevent them from being irritated by the bright light and this will also help you to relax.

After the facial analysis is completed, we will discuss the results. You will be able to see the photos that were taken and I will guide you through a recommended treatment plan. 

You will also be able to ask any questions or highlight any concerns that you have.

Why is a Skin Analysis Important When Understanding Your Skin?

Your skin mirrors your internal health. 

By understanding your skin issues, you can target the issue within your body and begin the healing process. 

This is more than just reducing breakouts or getting rid of wrinkles (although, this will happen too) it's more about finding the root cause and improving your overall health.
