How SIAscans Help Visualise Blood, Collagen and Pigment in the Skin

Image
 Modern skin analysis can use advanced imaging technology to examine features beneath the visible surface of the skin. SIAscopy™ is a fast, non-invasive method that produces colour bitmaps known as SIAscans™. These images show the relative location of blood, collagen, and pigment, providing medical professionals with additional information when examining skin lesions. What Are SIAscans? SIAscans are colour images produced by the SIAscope™ handheld scanner. They are created by analysing how light interacts with different structures within the skin. The technology considers how light is reflected and scattered, how much is absorbed by cells and other structures, and how wavelengths and colours change as light interacts with the skin. How SIAscopy Examines the Skin When the SIAscope illuminates the skin, some light is reflected or scattered from the surface, while the remainder travels into the upper layers of the skin. Different amounts of this incoming light are absorbed by structur...

Digital Mole Scanning: Understanding Automated Total Body Mapping

Image
Monitoring changes in the skin can be an important part of maintaining awareness of moles and other skin lesions. Modern imaging technology allows the skin to be documented and examined in detail, making it possible to compare changes over time. Automated Total Body Mapping (ATBM) combines whole-body photography with video dermoscopy to provide a detailed approach to skin monitoring. What Is Automated Total Body Mapping? The Original ATBM® Automated Total Body Mapping procedure uses a two-step method of digital follow-up. It combines automated full-body mapping with video dermoscopy to document and analyse the skin and individual moles. This approach creates detailed images that can help identify new or altered lesions and provide a record for future comparison. How Full-Body Mapping Works ATBM uses an integrated Bodyscan system to capture images of the entire skin. Whole-body photography provides a detailed visual record, while the system can connect body maps with individual mole ima...

Understanding the Benefits of Individually Tailored Dermal Fillers

Image
  Every face is unique, and aesthetic treatments are most effective when they are adapted to an individual's features and requirements. Dermal fillers can help restore facial volume and improve the appearance of areas affected by the natural ageing process. An individually tailored approach allows treatment to be planned according to the specific needs of each person. Restoring Lost Volume As we age, the skin naturally loses hyaluronic acid, which can contribute to reduced hydration and volume. Dermal fillers can help replace this lost volume by introducing hyaluronic acid into targeted areas. This can support a fuller and more refreshed facial appearance. Choosing the Right Filler Personalisation is an important part of dermal filler treatment. Different areas of the face may require different amounts, types, or viscosities of filler. By considering these factors, practitioners can develop a treatment approach that is suited to the individual's facial features and desired outc...
