Your skin tells a story – but most of it lies beneath the surface. At Hair Art & Beauty, we’re taking skin consultations to the next level with Advanced Skin Analysis using the OBSERV diagnostic device. This leading-edge technology reveals what’s really happening beneath the skin, giving both you and your therapist the knowledge needed to create a truly tailored treatment plan.

What Is the OBSERV Skin Analysis?

Developed in The Netherlands by inventor Walter Arkesteijn and the Sylton team, the OBSERV skin scanner uses patented light technology and advanced imaging software to capture detailed visuals of your skin’s health- from surface texture to deep layers of the dermis. In just 20 seconds, the device photographs your skin under multiple light sources to uncover everything from pigmentation and vascular damage to dehydration, oil flow, collagen loss, and inflammation.

It’s a completely non-invasive, science-based way to understand your skin on a deeper level... literally!

Why Advanced Skin Analysis Matters

Just like your GP uses diagnostic tools to assess your health, your skin deserves the same level of insight. A professional skin analysis provides a starting point for any treatment plan, ensuring that the products and services we recommend are based on data, not guesswork.

At H&B, we believe in combining advanced technology with expert knowledge. The OBSERV doesn’t replace our therapists – it empowers them. It gives us unbiased visuals, measurable data, and the confidence to create results-driven skin journeys tailored to you.

And the results speak for themselves: 87% of clients say yes to their treatment plan after seeing their skin visuals with the OBSERV.

What You’ll See During Your Consultation

During your OBSERV Skin Analysis, you’ll sit comfortably with your therapist as the device captures high-resolution images under six different light modes, including:

Daylight Mode: Shows your natural skin tone and visible condition in a controlled light environment.
Cross-Polarised Mode: Looks past the surface to reveal vascular conditions and redness beneath the skin.
Parallel-Polarised Mode: Highlights fine lines, surface texture, and pore blockages.
Simulated Woods Lamp Mode: Reveals oil flow and skin secretions in colour detail, helping identify imbalances.
True UV Mode: Exposes hidden pigmentation, collagen loss, and early signs of structural damage.
Complexion Analysis Mode: Offers a visual prediction of how your skin may age over time — and how to prevent it.

It’s an eye-opening experience. Most clients are amazed to see the truth behind their skin — from sun damage and dehydration to hidden sensitivity or pigmentation — and leave feeling empowered to take action.

Your Personalised Skin Journey

Following your scan, your therapist will walk you through each image and explain what’s happening beneath the surface. Together, you’ll build a customised treatment and homecare plan designed to correct, protect, and future-proof your skin.

With this level of insight, we can track your progress over time — comparing your before-and-after visuals during future consultations to see your skin’s transformation in real detail.

The Science Meets Experience

The OBSERV 520X, our latest model, is fully portable, fast, and precise, using fluorescence-based skin imaging to expose what the naked eye can’t see. It’s trusted by clinics and skin professionals worldwide for its accuracy, educational value, and client engagement.

For our team, it’s also an incredible educational tool — deepening our understanding of skin structure and function, and allowing us to continuously refine our approach to every client’s skin health.
