As we observe National Healthy Skin Month, November is the perfect time to raise your patients’ awareness around protecting their skin, since even minor skin conditions can impact their confidence and daily life. To support proactive skin health, we encourage you to promote regular skin assessments utilizing Canfield’s cutting-edge imaging systems, trusted by top hospitals, dermatology practices, and med spas worldwide.

1) Revealing UV Spots
UV exposure is one of the leading causes of skin damage. According to Skin Cancer Foundation, having more than five or more sunburns doubles the risk for melanoma^[1]. Therefore, educating patients on the significance of sun protection is essential. UV images taken with Canfield’s VISIA® Skin Analysis Imaging System enable your practice to provide insights into sub-surface skin damage and empower your team to offer tailored sun protection advice and preventive treatments for your patients.

2) Revealing underlying skin concerns
Besides UV exposure, other skin features like fine lines, enlarged pores, and redness can be overlooked but still impact the skin’s overall health. Canfield’s VISIA captures high-resolution, standardized facial images and delivers in-depth analysis of both surface and subsurface skin features including Spots, Wrinkles, Texture, Pores, UV Spots, RBX^® Brown, RBX Red, and Porphyrins. With Canfield’s cutting-edge technology, you and your team can uncover visible and underlying skin conditions with unrivaled precision and efficiency, communicate more effectively with patients about their current skin condition, and create a personalized, targeted treatment plan to enhance outcomes.

3) Identifying suspicious lesions at an early stage
Regular examinations for suspicious skin lesions are crucial for early detection of skin cancer and proactive skin health. While self-checks are a good start, they may not always catch emerging or changing lesions. Canfield’s VECTRA® WB360 and IntelliStudio® with DermaGraphix® provide a comprehensive and precise full body evaluation of skin, offering unparalleled accuracy for identifying and tracking lesions over time. These advanced technologies enhance your practice’s ability to monitor skin health closely, ensuring that potential signs of skin concerns are detected early.

This National Healthy Skin Month, Canfield is here to support your practice with our advanced imaging solutions that aid in the early detection of skin concerns and prompt proactive care, helping patients achieve healthier skin.
