The 10 Observation Modes of the OBSERV®520x
- Daylight: Reveals the skin as it would appear in a controlled, natural daylight environment. Ideal for observing skin health in its most neutral, everyday context.
- Surface Texture: Highlights the skin’s textural topography, offering insights into roughness, dryness, and other surface concerns.
- Pigmentation: Displays common skin tone irregularities such as sun damage, pigmentation, melasma, and general colour variations across the skin.
- Vascularity: Illustrates the network of microvascular structures in the skin, helping to identify redness, visible facial flushing, and conditions like rosacea.
- Parallel Polarised: Provides an enhanced view of the skin’s surface, revealing fine lines, wrinkles, micro-relief, texture, and enlarged pores.
- Cross Polarised: Suppresses surface shine, allowing for an unobstructed view of deeper dermal structures. This mode is ideal for detecting vascular conditions, inflammations, and pigmentation.
- True UV: Exposes both surface and deeper skin abnormalities by creating distinguishable fluorescence patterns, highlighting issues such as sun damage or precancerous cells.
- Simulated Woods Light: Adjusts the spectrum of light to reveal specific diagnostic dimensions like skin dehydration, oiliness, and other moisture-related concerns.
- 360 Light: Demonstrates areas of volume loss on the face, helping to showcase the effects of age management treatments, such as dermal fillers and volumisation techniques.
- 360 Grey: Removes colour distractions to focus on topographical signs of aging, such as skin laxity, sagging, and volume loss, providing a clear view of age-related changes.
