Swab your way to healthier skin
Find out how we can personalise your skincare with the help of science.
Skin Life Analytics testing at Crystal Rose Skin Clinic
Skin Life Analytics are an expert testing company, focused on making skin healthier.
​
By partnering with Skin Life Analytics, we are able to test your skin at a cellular level before, during and after your course of treatment to monitor the efficacy of your treatment plan in improving your skin's health.
Why test?
The Science
Skin ageing is the result of a loss of cellular function and as the batteries of the cell, the mitochondria play a pivotal role in skin and the ageing process. Mitochondrial damage has been found to accumulate with age in skin cells, which can be further accelerated by external factors, such as lifestyle, sunlight and pollution.
Mitochondrial dysfunction is a key feature in ageing skin, and this is linked to the characteristics of wrinkle formation, uneven pigmentation, and a reduction in elasticity.
Mitochondrial damage presents itself before these skin ageing features appear on your patients skin, therefore measuring damage gives you the ability to truly make the invisible visible.
What to expect
If you choose to utilise this service, I will take a swab from you before we start your course of treatment.
​
Depending on your treatment course length, I will then either take a swab half way through your treatment course, or/and at the end of your treatment plan.
​
When I receive the results from your test(s) I will collate the evidence and we will discuss the markers noted within the test.
​
By testing at the beginning, during and after your treatment - I will be able to gauge the efficacy of your treatment in improving your skin health at a cellular level.
​
Improvement of your skin health at a cellular level is a fantastic indicator of the visible results you will see over time, but also shows you the reversing effect you're having on your skin in terms of damage and will quite literally be turning back the clock for your skin.
​
As mentioned above, the test is completely non-invasive and pain-free and I provide this test at cost to my clinic to help me in assessing your treatment's efficacy to enable me to continue to advise you with science-backed facts and analysis as my guide.
