Quick answer
Your AI skin analysis report breaks visible features into condition probabilities, severity bands and a holistic skin score. Higher scores reflect better visible skin condition; flagged findings indicate areas worth tracking or, in some cases, reviewing professionally. ScanSkinAI is a screening tool, so always interpret results alongside clinical advice when symptoms persist or worsen.
Key takeaways
- •Skin scores reflect visible features only — not internal skin health.
- •Confidence percentages tell you how certain the AI is about each finding.
- •Track results over time — trends matter more than any single scan.
- •Red-flag findings always include a 'see a professional' recommendation.
- •Lighting, angle and image quality affect every score.
What does my skin score mean?
Your overall skin score is a composite metric: ScanSkinAI weights visible measures of evenness, clarity, texture and condition severity into a single 0–100 figure for quick comparison over time.
Treat the score as a trend line, not a verdict. A 72 today versus a 68 last month tells you more than 72 alone — it suggests your routine, sleep, sun exposure or treatment is moving in a useful direction.
How should I read individual findings?
Each finding is a specific visible feature — for example 'post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, moderate, cheek area, 78% confidence'. Confidence reflects how strongly the model recognised the pattern, not how serious the condition is.
Severity bands (mild / moderate / severe) help you prioritise. Where guidance suggests professional review, the app surfaces a clear next step.
Why do my results change between scans?
Photo conditions are the biggest driver. Different lighting, angle, time of day and skin state (just-washed vs end-of-day) all shift visible features. To compare scans fairly, capture in similar conditions: even daylight, no makeup, neutral background, same distance.
Real biological change matters too. Hormones, sleep, stress and product cycles all influence visible skin from week to week.
How often should I scan my skin with AI?
For routine cosmetic monitoring, weekly or fortnightly is plenty. For active treatment of a specific concern (acne, pigmentation, post-procedure), every 3–4 days gives a useful trend without obsessing.
For mole and lesion monitoring, monthly is the established cadence — with same-day repeat scans whenever something changes.
When should results push me toward a professional?
Whenever ScanSkinAI flags a result with a 'recommend professional review' badge, or whenever a concern is changing fast, painful, bleeding, non-healing, or simply causing you anxiety.
Bring your scan history to the appointment — clinicians value the visual timeline and it can shorten the consultation.
