Article by Dr. Paul Vanek – A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words
Scanning technology that has allowed scientists to map the surface of Mars can also facilitate analysis of your skin! A new device to characterize your skin with multi-spectral analysis makes quantitative measurements allowing me to assess all aspects of your complexion. Severity of wrinkles, 3 dimensional contour mapping, sun damage, rosacea, brown spots, pore size, porphyrins, and scarring are able to be quantified with a computer analysis from the photos of your skin taken at the time of your consultation. This baseline analysis can be used as a tool to assess your skin improvements over time with the treatments we recommend. The images are also compared to a data base of over 4 million people within one year of your birthdate, matching age and ethnicity for comparison purposes. A printed report detailing the results of the imaging session can be taken home for review of skin care and treatment recommendations based upon your unique complexion profile. What better way to assess and follow results than with an objective technology that shows you your progress with treatment?
PS This technology will soon be available in my practice to provide you a vision of your healthier, younger looking, more beautiful skin!
