Skin scanning machines are some of the more interesting new spa technologies out there. In fact, many people have never even heard of them and, if they have heard of them, they don’t know what they do. Many people mistake skin scanning machines as nothing more than a high ticket camera. However, it is actually much more. Utilized by spas, salons and even dermatologist’s offices, skin scanning machines provide unique insight into skin problems and conditions which are not apparent to the naked eye.
HOW DO SKIN SCANNERS WORK?
Skin scanners typically use multiple, simultaneous technologies to take various images of the client’s skin in order to compare and analyze them against a vast data set which is typically equipped to reveal things like how a person’s skin age compares to others of a similar age, sun damage, what, if any, skin cancer risk the client has and what measures, specific to that client, can be taken to improve and protect their skin in the future. Some skin scanners can even provide various computer simulations of how the client is likely to appear in the future if they adhere to an effective skincare plan as opposed to if they do not.
REASONS CLIENTS WANT SKIN SCANS
Aside from the sheer curiosity that all of us certainly feel about the condition of our facial appearance, skin scans provide clients comfort, relief and security. Many clients enter spas and get services from aestheticians due to worries about their skin’s appearance and health. Skin scanners and their accompanying software technologies can give client’s a more definitive answer about what skin problems they have, which they are at risk for and how best to mitigate those problems and risks.
WHAT ARE THE COSTS OF SKIN SCANNING MACHINES?
While there is a large range of possible prices for skin scanning machines depending on the model, features and intended use, many run between $400 to several thousands of dollars. However, considering that aestheticians and dermatologists typically charge between $75 to $200 per consultation, one can imagine that this investment can be recovered rather quickly. Also, a skin scanning machine can be an excellent sales partner for your business as you will certainly be offering the subsequent skin services which the skin scanning software has suggested to the client after the consultation and, at that point, they will likely need little convincing as all of the recommendations you are offering are scientifically based on advanced software.
SAFETY
Skin scanning devices are non-invasive devices which use various photos technologies and software to analyze client’s skin. There are no side effects and the entire process generally takes about 15 minutes.
CONCLUSION
Skin scanning machines can make a spa seem more modern, competent and knowledgeable. Aestheticians, not to mention dermatologists, now use them for a whole host of reasons and typically find that the investment and learning curve to learn how to use them are well worth it in the long run. Considering that it can be such a great revenue-generator for your business, there really isn’t a whole lot of reasons not to get one.
