Facial Skin Analysis.
See what is happening beneath the surface before you decide on any treatment. A detailed, imaging-led look at the skin on your face, talked through with you in person, with an honest plan to match.
Looking closely, before doing anything.
Spent reading ultrasound images as a specialist midwife sonographer. Seeing what isn't visible from the outside is what I do.
Every face looks different under clinical light than it does in the bathroom mirror. Before I recommend any treatment, I want to see your skin properly, and I want you to see it too.
Your analysis uses the Canta Visage Pro, a medical-grade facial imaging system. It photographs your skin under different light settings, including UV light, to show things that are hard to judge by eye:
- Ageing: fine lines, wrinkles and skin elasticity
- Pigmentation: sun damage beneath the surface, age spots, freckles and uneven tone
- Hydration: moisture levels across your face
- Sensitivity: redness, areas prone to irritation, and the condition of your skin barrier
- Texture: pore size, oil levels, congestion and blackheads, and signs of acne-causing bacteria
We go through your images together on screen, alongside what you would like to change. Afterwards I put together a personal digital skin report with a treatment plan and email it to you.
Because the images are taken the same way each time, we can repeat the analysis later and compare. At your review, I show you how your skin has responded, not only in the mirror.
Appointments take place in a calm, private room at ShoreRooms in Shoreham-by-Sea, a few minutes from Brighton and Worthing.
For anyone who wants a clear starting point.
You don't need to know which treatment you want. Most people come because something about their skin has changed and they would like an expert view.
Uneven skin tone
Patches, sun spots or pigmentation, and how much sits beneath the surface.
Pores, oil and congestion
Enlarged pores, oily areas, blackheads and breakouts, or skin that feels less smooth than it used to.
Fine lines and elasticity
Where lines are forming, where skin has lost some of its bounce, and which approach would suit them.
Redness and sensitivity
Areas of redness and irritation, and how well your skin barrier is holding up, so we can plan treatment gently.
Dull or tired-looking skin
Skin that has lost its brightness and bounce.
Tracking a treatment
Images taken the same way each time, so we can compare your skin at your review.
Often a good fit if you…
- are thinking about treatment but aren't sure where to start
- want recommendations based on what your skin actually needs
- would like a written plan to think over at home
- prefer an unhurried conversation with no pressure to book
What you go home with.
After your appointment, you receive a personal digital skin report by email. It is yours to keep, whether or not you go on to book a treatment.
What you would like to change
Your concerns and priorities, in your words, so the plan is built around what matters to you.
What we found, in plain English
A clear summary of what your images show and what it means for your skin.
A treatment plan with priorities
What I would suggest, in what order, and roughly when. Including anything I would not recommend.
A skincare routine for your skin
Recommendations for medical-grade skincare chosen for what your analysis shows, plus daily sun protection. If you would like the products, they can be ordered through our partner pharmacy and delivered to your door.
Facial skin analysis is a cosmetic assessment to guide aesthetic treatment. It is not a medical diagnosis, a mole check or a skin cancer screening. If I notice anything that I think needs a doctor's opinion, I will tell you and suggest you see your GP.
From first conversation to your plan.
A conversation first
We talk about your skin, what you would like to change and your medical history. This part is always free.
Your analysis
You sit with your face in the imaging unit while it takes a series of photographs. It takes a few minutes and you feel nothing.
We go through it
I show you your images on screen and explain what they show. You can ask anything.

A registered midwife for 24 years and a specialist midwife sonographer for 19 of them. I founded The Scanning Room, a CQC-regulated ultrasound clinic, and I know facial and vascular anatomy in detail.
Your analysis is there to inform, not to sell. If your skin doesn't need a treatment, or a simpler one would suit you better, I will say so.
Right person. Right treatment. Right reason.
Frequently asked.
Does it hurt? expand_more
No. The analysis is a series of photographs. Nothing touches your skin and there are no needles.
Do I have to book a treatment afterwards? expand_more
No. Many people book the analysis simply to understand their skin better. Your report is yours to keep either way. If you do book a treatment within 14 days, the £50 is taken off.
Can I wear make-up? expand_more
Please come without make-up if you can, as it affects what the images show. If you are coming straight from work, let me know and we can remove it before we start.
Is the consultation free? expand_more
Yes. Consultations are free for every treatment at The Barefaced Edit. The £50 for your skin analysis is paid when you book, and covers the imaging and your personal emailed report and plan. It comes off any treatment you book within 14 days.
Is this a mole check or skin cancer screening? expand_more
No. It is a cosmetic skin assessment to guide aesthetic treatment. If you have a mole or mark you are worried about, please see your GP. If I notice anything during your analysis that I think needs a doctor's opinion, I will tell you.
How often should I have my skin analysed? expand_more
Before starting a course of treatment, and again at your review so we can compare. After that, every six to twelve months is a useful way to keep track of your skin.
Do I have to buy skincare? expand_more
No. Your report includes skincare recommendations based on your analysis. If you would like to use them, the products can be ordered through our partner pharmacy and delivered straight to your door. You are welcome to use what you already have.
Is it suitable for all skin types? expand_more
Yes. The analysis is photography only, so it is suitable for all skin types and tones.
Start with your skin analysis.
An unhurried conversation, a close look at your skin, and a personal plan emailed to you afterwards. No pressure to book anything on the day.
