"It can curate your wardrobe, order your oat milk matcha, shortlist the best Sunday brunch spots before you've even brushed your teeth - and now, AI is coming for your face. Not in some sci-fi, post-apocalyptic way, but through high-tech skin scanners that promise to diagnose everything from sun damage to rosacea in the time it takes to upload a selfie."
"At least, that's the pitch from a slew of new apps and devices offering 'personalised, data-driven insights' that claim to revolutionise how we care for our skin. These tools promise to dive beneath the surface, mapping pigmentation, pore size, UV damage, even bacterial activity, all within seconds. No blemish is safe. No wrinkle unseen."
High-tech skin scanners combine advanced imaging and AI to assess multiple skin metrics—pigmentation, pore size, UV damage, bacterial activity—and identify conditions like rosacea from a single selfie. New apps and devices advertise rapid, personalised, data-driven insights delivered within seconds. These tools map sub-surface features that may not be visible to the naked eye and claim to inform targeted skincare choices. The emphasis is on speed, convenience and comprehensive analysis as an alternative or complement to in-person evaluations. The approach aims to democratize dermatological information by making complex skin assessments accessible to consumers.
