How Many Wrinkles do You Really Have?

Posted By Dr. Mercola | February 04 2006 | 3,425 views

The Clarity Pro system can depict the depth and severity of wrinkles, the number of inflamed pores, or the UV damage on your face. Soon, it will be able to predict likelihood of skin cancer.

Treatments and Testing

The system is due to be released next month to spas, clinics, and cosmetics companies. Doctors will be able to use it to recommend treatments, and independent researchers may also use it to test the effectiveness of various anti-aging procedures and creams.

Digital Pictures

Clarity Pro works by taking digital imagery of the skin, and then using special software to measure factors such as:

Skin-tone evenness
Pore health
Skin type, moisture, and elasticity
UV damage

Dr. Mercola's Comments:

I just love all the advances that technology provides. I thought you might be interested in another "marvel" of technology called the Clarity Pro system, which you may be seeing one day soon at your local health spa.

Down the line, the company expects the Clarity Pro will be equipped to predict a patient's chances of skin cancer from too much exposure to UV light, certainly a good thing.

Such detailed consumer information could be deadly for the cosmetic industry, however, which has based many of its advertised results on subjective claims, or it could boost the demand for "new and improved" products ... most of which you don't actually need anyway.

If you really want to maintain healthier, younger skin, I would recommend the following natural treatments and precautions:

Avoid exposure to cigarette smoke.
Get your omega-3s by taking a high-quality fish or cod liver oil daily.
Use virgin coconut oil.
Limit your exposure to the sun during the hottest times of the day.
Adopt healthier eating habits, based on your body's unique nutritional type.
Keep your facial muscles relaxed.
