The Mind Body & Soul Colchester is proud to announce that we can now offer a full-face diagnostic service with the arrival of the SkinScope LED.
This means that the addition of this state of the art technology will enable us to visibly show our clients their skin on a deeper level. It enables our therapists to determine the proper treatments and daily skin care regimens specific to their needs.
The SkinScope LED builds on the tradition of the wood’s lamp science while incorporating a new, more precise UV-light visibility.
Advanced Skin Consultation
Always wanted an in-depth skin analysis? Our advanced skin consultation includes a thorough cleanse of the face followed by an in-depth skin examination using our high-tech SkinScope.
The Skin Scope LED is designed to help assess client’s skin through the use of two light modes. A simulated daylight mode for reviewing visible concerns on the surface of the skin, and a LED-UV light mode for identifying underlying damage deeper in the skin. This helps your therapist to recommend the correct treatment plan and home care products for your individual needs.


While some skin conditions are visible in everyday light, some are only visible under UV light which highlights sub-surface skin damage.
The Skinscope LED is designed to help assess patients’ skin through the use of two light modes: a simulated daylight mode for reviewing visible concerns, and a LED-UV light mode for identifying underlying damage.
The benefits are clear:
Enhances diagnosis and treatment recommendations
Encourages follow-up engagement through smartphone photography
Helps track patient progress
Increases service and retail sales
How does it work?
The SkinScope LED includes two light modes: Daylight, and LED-UV, and allows for the use of any smartphone to document the consultation with a universal smartphone adapter. While some skin concerns and imperfections are visible in everyday light, some are only visible under UV light, which highlights damage beneath the skin’s surface by detecting skin’s fluorescence.

DAYLIGHT MODE
Allows for the clear illumination of visible skin concerns, including:
Fine lines and wrinkles
Uneven skin tone
Redness, blotchiness, flushing
Oily, acneic skin


CLED-UV MODE
LED-UV light detects fluorescence in skin for clearer identification of skin concerns and conditions not visible in everyday light.
While healthy skin reflects back UV light creating a blue glow, the existence of unwanted pigmentation, poor desquamation, dehydration, congested pores, and skin oiliness is reflected in a variety of fluorescent shades.

The SkinScope LED has two light modes: simulated Daylight mode for reviewing visible skin conditions and concerns, and a LED-UV light mode for reviewing skin fluorescence (emitted at 320- 365nm). Solid-state UV emitters, dispersed by six polished chrome mirrors, produce the Daylight and LED-UV lights.

What does it show?
sun damage
age spots
clogged pores
Redness
Irritation
Dryness
Oiliness
Wrinkles
Hyperpigmentation

You will need to come in for your appointment with a makeup-free face. Once sat down you will insert your head into the SkinScope machine under the daylight and LED settings. A photograph is then taken in both diagnostic modes, which can help track the progress of clinical skincare and treatments over time. Having these photos also helps us to show you before and after photos after the required treatments have been performed.
