Advanced Skin Analysis

Skin analysis is carried out to determine the following points:
To evaluate which product to use
To decide which treatment to use
To decide treatment protocol
To decide which product to sell for home care and maintenance
To decide home care protocol
So why, if we follow these points are the treatment programs we perform less than successful? Why do we not get the 110%
result that our clients expect and we had hoped for? What have we failed to do?
By not establishing cause and effect of the clients skin condition, and only treating the symptoms is the main
reason for our lack of success. Without establishing cause and relating it’s effect to skin structure and function of
the problem, the wrong treatment program can be often chosen and the skin is not treated correctly and thus
unresponsive. The cause and knowing the subsequent effects on the skin structure and function is the basis of this
new skin analysis procedure you will learn.
Linking skin structure and function to skin condition ensures correct skin analysis. This knowledge can then be
linked to product composition and the end result is a correctly chosen treatment program.
The looks, touch, feel and record findings approach to skin analysis is no longer enough to fully diagnose a skin,
although this technique is still included in this newer advanced skin diagnosis procedure.
This manual will update your knowledge on the structure and function of skin and the related systems for each
skin condition. The procedures in this manual will teach you to think and see three dimensionally when analysing
the skin; allowing you to gather more information than you have before.
