We all want to look in the mirror and see beautiful, healthy-looking skin. Sometimes that might feel like a distant dream.

With an abundance of information and different skin care products out there, it can be overwhelming trying to find what works best for you. The truth is, everybody’s skin is completely different and there are so many factors to consider when putting together an effective skincare routine. It’s why I am so passionate about custom programs!

Your skin has a layered set of needs that is affected by everything from your genetics to your skin sensitivities to your history of sun exposure. The list goes on. This is why following a celebrity’s skin care routine or choosing from best selling products doesn’t necessarily guarantee your desired results. 

My skin care philosophy is and has always been rooted in looking deeper – approaching your skin with curiosity and a willingness to discover something new. Therein lies the answer to a strong foundation for the skin. But sometimes, there is more to the equation than what you see on the surface. 

Beyond The Surface of Your Skin

One of the newest additions to my toolkit for accurately diagnosing your skin conditions is the powerful Observ 520x scanner. As one of the few skin care specialists in Ottawa carrying this scanning technology, this is exciting news!

The Observ 520X facial scanner is a diagnostic imaging system that analyzes the skin’s condition and patterns, going beneath the surface and deep into the layers of your skin. It’s one of the newest and most powerful technological developments for skin care professionals. 

How does it work? You simply place your face into the scanner and Observ is able to create an in-depth analysis of your current skin conditions from a quick scan.

Observ uses a safe, low intensity dose of fluorescent UV rays to penetrate the skin, allowing the machine to compile an advanced skin diagnosis. With six different imaging modes, each provides an accurate view of different factors of the skin’s condition. This information is compiled to provide valuable information regarding your skin’s vascularity, structural integrity, texture, UV damage and much more.

An Extensive Skin Analysis

Observ’s technology allows me to compile useful information about your skin that I may not otherwise be able to determine visually. Sure, I have a good eye for analyzing skin conditions – but I’m no computer! Using the Observ skin imaging technology, I am able to assess the condition of your skin deep below its exterior. 

The skin imaging system allows me to gather information about a multitude of factors with detailed imagery for these common skin issues that can sometimes go unaddressed:

• Sun damage
• Texture
• Pigmentation
• Wrinkle formation
• Collagen loss
• Skin irritation
• Vascularity 
• and more! 

By understanding what’s truly happening with your skin, I’m able to treat your skin’s unique needs and prevent future issues. Whether you are dealing with acne, dry skin, or any other concern, getting the clarity you’ve been needing can be what changes everything.

Often the solution to having healthy looking skin goes beyond superficial treatments and requires deeper knowledge of the underlying conditions.

Science Backed Skin Care Programs – Even at Home!

Technology is ever-changing, and the use of the Observ facial scanner empowers me to create more accurate, personalized skincare product recommendations for my clients. Having access to more detailed information about my clients’ existing skin conditions allows me to make informed decisions to help treat skin issues in a preventive and responsive way. 

Oftentimes, the issues you’re having with your skin are based on deeper conditions that you may not be aware of. Treating the skin is a process that goes beyond the surface. Topical products can only do so much if they’re not addressing the actual underlying issues! 

The imaging power of the Observ allows me to tailor a special home care regimen just for you based on a powerful analysis of the skin. This means you get the results for the skin you’ve been wanting – sooner. 

One of the best parts about the Observ is that I am able to save imagery for my clients. It’s amazing to see how your Observ images allow you to benefit from seeing your skin’s progress with before and after treatment comparisons.
