What's Actually on Your Aura 3D Skin Report
Every report covers the same five categories: sun damage and pigment, wrinkle depth, redness patterns, pore size and texture, and facial volume and symmetry. Understanding your skin analysis report starts with knowing what each of these sections is actually measuring.
Wrinkles, Volume Loss, and Pores: How to Read Your Aura 3D Skin Report
This section shows the precise depth and location of every wrinkle on your face, not just whether one is present. Deeper, more established lines typically call for a different treatment strength than fine, early lines — which is exactly the distinction this part of your report is designed to make. Mayo Clinic's overview of wrinkles covers what causes them to form.
Understanding Your Volume and Symmetry Results
This section maps how volume is distributed across your face and flags any asymmetry. It's particularly useful for returning clients, since comparing this section scan-over-scan is how we track whether a treatment plan is preserving or restoring volume over time.
Understanding Your Pore Size and Texture Results
This section measures pore size and surface texture across different areas of your face — helpful context for anyone considering a chemical peel, since texture and pore size are two of the concerns peels are most effective at improving. Cleveland Clinic's guide to shrinking pores has more on what drives pore size.
Understanding Your Pigment and Redness Results
These two sections work together to show where sun damage, hyperpigmentation, and redness patterns are concentrated, and how deep they sit. This is often the part of the report clients find most surprising, since pigment changes are the most likely to be invisible in a mirror. The Skin Cancer Foundation's sun protection guide has more on preventing further pigment damage.
Turning Your Report Into a Treatment Plan
On its own, your report is just data. What matters is what our team does with it: matching your specific findings — not a generic checklist — to a chemical peel, laser session, facial, or combination plan built around what your report actually shows.

Understanding Your Skin Analysis Report FAQ
Do I get a copy of my skin analysis report?
Yes. Your results are reviewed with you the same visit and saved to your file for future reference.
Is my skin analysis report compared to "normal" skin or just to me?
Your report is compared primarily against your own baseline over time. General categories reflect common ranges, but there's no pass-or-fail score.
What if I don't understand something on my report?
Our team walks through every section in plain language during your same-visit consultation — no dermatology degree required.
Can I request a copy of my report to keep?
Yes, just ask your specialist during your visit.
Does a high pore size reading mean I need a specific treatment?
Not automatically. It's one input among several that helps determine the type of peel or facial we recommend.
Will my report look different every time I'm scanned?
Some change is expected, especially during treatment. Sudden, drastic changes are unusual and worth discussing with our team.
Is understanding my skin analysis report necessary before booking a treatment?
Not required — our team explains everything either way — but many clients find it helpful to know what's driving their recommendation.
Can I bring my report to a dermatologist?
It's your file, so you're welcome to share it. We'd also encourage discussing any medical concerns directly with a dermatologist.
