What is Spectrophotometric Intracutaneous Analysis (SIAscopy) - and how does it help in mole analysis?

Image
  SIAscopy - EpicDermis When it comes to examining moles for possible skin cancer, traditional checks often rely on surface-level observations: size, shape, border irregularity, colour and change over time. But there is a more advanced, deeper-insight technique Spectrophotometric Intracutaneous Analysis (SIAscopy™) that can look beneath the visible surface of the skin. What is SIAscopy? SIAscopy is a non-invasive, painless scanning method designed to assess pigmented skin lesions (moles) by analysing the interaction of light with skin structures. Using a handheld scanner, the technique emits light onto the skin, and captures the light that is reflected and scattered back. Based on how different skin components absorb or scatter light, SIAscopy generates colour-coded images called SIAscans™. These maps show the relative distribution and location of key skin elements blood (hemoglobin), pigment (melanin), and collagen within the layers of the skin. Because SIAscopy “understands” how ...

Why Should You Consider Full-Body Mole Mapping for Your Skin Health?

  Moleanalyzer pro - EpicDermis Skin health is more than skin deep. While most moles are harmless, changes in their size, shape or color can sometimes point to deeper risks including melanoma. Modern technology makes it possible to monitor your skin more precisely than ever. Here’s why you should seriously consider full-body mole mapping with Digital Mole Scanning for your long-term skin health. What Is Full-Body Mole Mapping? Full-body mole mapping is a highly advanced skin-imaging procedure. It uses automated total-body photography combined with dermoscopic imaging to create a comprehensive “map” of your skin. Rather than relying on manual visual checks, this technique digitally documents every inch of your skin and tracks changes over time. At its core, this involves two steps: Body scan : High-resolution, full-body images are captured rapidly using specialized hardware. Dermoscopy : Individual moles are examined in detail using video dermoscopy offering vivid, magnified views t...

  Dermapen - EpicDermis When it comes to achieving smoother, more luminous skin, one of the most effective treatments available is microneedling with the Dermapen. Here, we explore how this treatment works, and why it can significantly improve skin texture and smoothness. What is Dermapen and What Does It Do? The Dermapen is a professional microneedling device used to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, triggering its natural repair mechanisms. At EpicDermis, the Dermapen is offered as part of skin-rejuvenation and scar-improvement treatments. How Microneedling Improves Texture and Smoothness Here are the key mechanisms through which the Dermapen helps smooth and improve skin texture: Stimulates collagen and elastin production : By creating micro-channels in the skin, the treatment prompts the body’s reaction to repair, increasing collagen and elastin which help firm and smooth the skin surface. Refines pore size : As the skin remodels, the appearance of enlarged pores ca...

Can Dermal Fillers Treatment Enhance Natural Beauty Without Looking Overdone?

Image
  Dermal Fillers Treatment in London - EpicDermis In the world of modern aesthetic medicine, it’s common to ask: “Can dermal fillers truly enhance natural beauty without leaving that ‘overdone’ look?” The good news is: yes, when done right, dermal fillers treatment can restore youthful volume, brighten contours, and revitalise your appearance, all while maintaining a natural, balanced outcome. What dermal-fillers treatment does Dermal fillers work differently from muscle-relaxing treatments. They don’t target the muscle directly; instead, they replenish lost volume by replacing hyaluronic acid (HA) a naturally-occurring substance in the skin that adds hydration and plumpness. As we age, our natural HA regeneration slows down, and our skin loses some of its firm, youthful volume. That’s where a tailored dermal fillers treatment can help. Why a natural result is possible A “natural look” isn’t just possible it’s achievable when the treatment is: Individually tailored : The amount and...

  Wrinkle Reduction - EpicDermis Wrinkles affect us all some more than others. They result from a combination of the natural ageing process and the repeated use of our facial muscles: years of frowning, squinting in the sun, or even laughing can all contribute to the formation of wrinkles, mainly because the muscles responsible for these expressions get little rest, making the skin more likely to wrinkle. When to Consider Wrinkle-Reduction You might begin to consider a  Wrinkle Reduction  treatment when you notice that fine lines or deeper creases are becoming more prominent and you’d like to refresh your appearance in a natural-looking way. Since everyone’s facial profile is different, a tailored treatment is important: the decision to proceed often follows a personalised consultation to assess your face, your muscle activity, and your skin’s response. Some specific indicators that it may be worth considering: You’ve noticed lines forming or deepening around areas of exp...
