Future-proof Your Skin

Straight from the future, this new skin analyser can detect dermatological issues before they arise. Julie Brown from The Source Clinic explains more…

How often have you recommended a new moisturiser or eye cream to a friend, only for her not to agree with your rave review? This is because, as we should all know by now, we are all perfectly unique, and that goes for our skin too. Even women of a similar age and skin type can respond and react differently to the very same skincare routine and products, hence why your chum is not necessarily loving the same products as you.

Results are important and the first step to achieving happy, healthy skin should always be to know exactly what we are dealing with – only then can we reach our skin goals.

For years we’ve relied on our expert knowledge and training to determine what might come next for our clients, but it’s time to banish the crystal ball and instead look to science for the answers.

At The Source we use a diagnostic system called Observ, an advanced skin scanner that captures digital photographs of our client’s skin. Using eight different light settings, we can detect a host of skin concerns before they can be seen by the human eye. This level of technology is revolutionary in the beauty and aesthetic industry and allows us to see what’s going on underneath the surface, giving us the time and opportunity to offer preemptive skincare solutions before problems even arise. This can only ever be a good thing because prevention is always better than cure. 

From cutaneous density and hydration levels, to the textural condition of pores, we have the insider scoop on where your skin is at. We can spot incoming inflammation and increasing melanin levels – including discolouration and dark circles – as well as the early stages of any fine lines and wrinkles. Using these precise and in-depth results we are then able to prescribe a skincare regimen and treatment programme for each client as bespoke and personalised as she is. 

Observ Skin Consultation costs £50 and is fully redeemable against skincare products or treatments. Book here.
