Our skin is made up of several layers, the only one we can see with the human eye is the epidermis. The point is that many of the diseases that appear on the skin are found in its deepest layers and, therefore, are invisible. Therefore, it is through constant analysis of the skin that we are able to diagnose and treat problems, preventing diseases and signs of aging.

The Observ 520 is a facial skin analysis system that is used in evaluation consultations in aesthetic medicine. It is a device that visualizes the skin in its entirety, from its most superficial layers to the deepest layers. Thanks to its fluorescence technology, it is possible to identify certain dermatological lesions that the naked eye would not be able to notice. It is a tool that has revolutionized the way doctors diagnose skin conditions, making this diagnosis more accurate and complete.

How the analysis is done with the Observ 520

Using the Observ 520 is completely painless. The device is equipped with six observation modes combined with fluorescence technology, providing essential information on the overall health of the skin. This combination allows you to reveal problems more clearly and sharply than conventional technologies.

  • Daylight

To show how the skin on the face is represented in the presence of natural light, the Observ 520 evenly illuminates the entire face with diffused light coming from multiple directions. It’s a soft, even light with no shadows and sharp lines. This representation is the starting point for the general clinical assessment of the skin.

  • wood lamp

The distribution of a protective oil film, which is mostly influenced by the activity of the sebaceous glands, becomes clearly identifiable in Wood’s light simulation. The health and activity of the sebaceous glands are important parameters in determining the type of skin and its hydration level.

  • UV light

By exposing the skin to a low, harmless dose of ultraviolet rays, skin problems and conditions, such as loss of structural integrity and superficial pigmentation, are detached from healthy skin tissue. Skin conditions that are not noticeable in natural daylight will reveal themselves in this type of light.

  • parallel polarized light

Allows you to enlargely visualize the texture and surface of the skin, such as micro-reliefs, pores, fine lines and wrinkles in great detail.

  • cross polarized light

This light reveals the non-uniformity of the skin tone, caused by biological aging and photoaging. Magnified variations in skin tone and contrast clearly distinguish redness caused by skin sensitivity, irritation and vascular conditions from actual pigmentation that is not visible to the naked eye.

  • skin analysis

This observation mode will summarize all the analyzes of the other modes in a single image. Allows an overall and conclusive view of the skin condition.

Finally, one of the great advantages of using the Observ 520 is that it allows the doctor and patient to see the skin condition together, and discuss the best treatment to restore its balance and prevent future irregularities.

Main benefits of consultation with the Observ 520

It is able to give an accurate and complete diagnosis of the skin condition.

Allows you to monitor and visualize the evolution of the skin condition

It is a 100% safe and harmless analysis method for the body

Common questions

The value of the facial evaluation consultation with Observe 520 has the same cost as a traditional evaluation.

The period between analyzes varies from case to case, taking into account the respective treatment plan. Therefore, it is recommended that an evaluation consultation be carried out.

From blackheads and areas with excess sebum to wrinkles and signs of more serious problems, in which case additional tests should be requested.

Facial assessment with the Observ 520 has no age requirement as the lights have no impact on health and therefore do not have any contraindications.
