What it is
Skin analysis is the foundation of how we work. It is a bookable consultation in its own right, normally £50. The fee is waived at our Bedhampton clinic until 8 December 2026. The analyser then moves to our new Winchester clinic on Jewry Street, where it is free for anyone who books before we open on 8 December.
Our clinical skin analyser uses multiple light spectra and high-resolution imaging to capture what the eye cannot see: UV damage forming beneath the surface, early pigmentation, redness and vascular patterns, congestion, texture and hydration. The findings appear as images and scores, which we go through together on screen.
What it may help with
- Seeing the cause of a concern, for example whether dullness comes from dehydration, texture or early pigmentation
- Deciding what to tackle first when several things bother you
- Setting a baseline, so progress at your reviews can be measured
- Catching early sun damage and pigmentation while prevention is still the best treatment
Who it may be suitable for
Every patient. It is most useful if you have never had your skin professionally assessed, or if a previous clinic recommended treatments without explaining why.
Who it may not be suitable for
There are no meaningful restrictions. The analysis is non-invasive and uses only light and photography. It is not a substitute for medical assessment. If imaging or examination raises anything that needs a doctor's opinion, we will tell you and suggest you see your GP.
What to expect
You rest your chin on the analyser for a few moments, rather like an optician's examination, while it captures a series of images under different light conditions. It is quick, comfortable and non-invasive. We then sit down together and go through what the images show, layer by layer, in plain English.
Consultation & safety
The analysis informs your consultation but never replaces clinical judgement. Your practitioner makes every recommendation from the full picture: your history, your goals and your skin in person, with the imaging as supporting evidence.
Aftercare
None needed. Your images and scores are stored securely on your confidential record, so each review can measure change against your baseline.
Possible side effects & risks
None. The analysis uses light-based photography only, and the imaging process itself carries no UV risk to the skin.
Frequently asked questions
How much does the AI skin analysis cost?
The AI Skin Analysis consultation is normally £50. Right now it is £0 at our Bedhampton clinic until 8 December 2026. The analyser then moves to our new Winchester clinic, where it is free for anyone who books before we open on 8 December. Our standard skin consultation remains complimentary.
Will I be pressured into treatment based on the results?
No. The analysis often shows that skincare, sun protection or monitoring is the right answer. It is there to inform advice, not to sell procedures.
Can it diagnose skin conditions?
No, it is a consultation aid, not a medical diagnosis. If anything we see needs a doctor's opinion, we will tell you and point you to the right care.
How is my imaging data stored?
Securely, as part of your confidential clinical record, in line with our privacy policy. Images are never shared without your written consent.
