Skin Imaging · Punta Gorda
A closer look at your skin, in three lights.
Multi-spectrum photographs make pigmentation, texture, pores, fine lines, and visible sun exposure easier to examine before you choose a skin service.
The analysis
Three views of the skin.
Skin Analysis captures standard, cross-polarized, and UV photographs. Taking the images takes a few minutes; the rest of the time is used to review what appears in them.
Skin imaging is optional and is not required before another service. The photographs provide a consistent visual baseline, not a medical diagnosis.
Reading the images
What each light mode shows, and what it doesn't decide.
Each light mode records the skin differently. We compare the views with one another because no single photograph explains the cause of a visible pattern.

Questions
What to know.
How can I ask about skin analysis pricing?
Call House of Rose or send a message with “Skin Analysis” as the topic for current pricing.
Do I need a skin analysis before treatment?
No. It is not required before every treatment. The analysis can be helpful when you are unsure where to begin or want a clearer visual baseline.
How long does it take?
Taking the images takes a few minutes. The rest of the visit is used to review what appears in them and answer your questions.
Is skin imaging uncomfortable?
No. It is non-invasive and does not use needles. We take the images and review them with you.
Can skin imaging diagnose a skin condition or screen for skin cancer?
No. The images document visible patterns but do not determine their medical cause, diagnose a condition, or screen for skin cancer. A changing spot, unexplained symptom, or other medical skin concern needs evaluation by an appropriately licensed medical provider.
Can makeup or sunscreen affect the images?
Yes. Makeup, sunscreen residue, and other material on the skin can affect what appears in a UV image. We review the photographs together rather than treating any one image as a diagnosis.
What happens to my photos?
Your images remain private unless you give separate written permission for them to be shared.
