At Bedeque Medical Clinic every patient who has a consultation with Dr Siobhán has a complimentary skin scan performed. The Observ 520x is a state-of-the-art skin analysis system that allows me to see beneath the surface of your skin, revealing conditions and concerns that aren’t visible to the naked eye. This advanced diagnostic tool uses multiple light modes to capture detailed images of your skin, providing unprecedented insight into your skin’s health and condition.
Using patented lighting and filtering technology, the Observ 520x captures high-resolution images of your skin under different light spectrums:
- Daylight mode: Shows your skin as it appears in natural light
- Cross-polarized light: Reveals subsurface pigmentation and vascular conditions
- Parallel-polarized light: Highlights surface texture, fine lines, and pores
- UV light: Exposes sun damage and areas of excess oil production
- Woods light: Identifies bacterial presence and moisture levels
- True UV: Shows skin fluorescence revealing damaged areas
