The Radiance Scan

A complimentary reading of your skin, six of the eight zones an in-clinic VISIA scan measures, from any laptop camera, free.

Six zonesAnalysed in memoryNever storedEditorial, never a diagnosis
Two zones a camera cannot see

A clinic VISIA booth measures eight. Two of them, UV damage below the surface and porphyrins, the bacterial by-product that sits in congested pores, need cross-polarised and ultraviolet imaging that no laptop camera has. The Scan reads the other six honestly and says so. For the missing two you need in-clinic hardware: the starred clinics in the Radiance Guide carry it.

The lens is closed. Tick the note below, then open your camera or choose a photo.

The reading
The full small print

The Radiance Scan is informational and editorial only. It is not medical advice, not a diagnosis, and not a substitute for an examination by a qualified practitioner. It reads a single photograph in ordinary light, which is a poor instrument next to a dermatoscope or a calibrated clinic booth, and it cannot see below the surface at all.

Consult a qualified dermatologist or practitioner before booking any treatment, and tell them your history, your medication and your sun exposure. Anything resembling a mole, a changing spot, an asymmetric or bleeding lesion needs a dermatologist promptly, and the Scan will always say so rather than score it. Nothing here is scored by who advertises with us, because nobody does.

Next: let the Compass point you at the right laser family, then find who wields it best on the Radar. For one concern read close up, take the Analysis.
