How to prepare a client go into the OBSERV devices
Make-up, creams and sunscreens will influence the quality of your photos. Therefore, it's mandatory to analyse the skin in its natural condition. Creams, makeup and SPF will mask and reduce the visibility of skin concerns.
If the client’s skin is not clean the skin therapist can clean and prepare the clients skin for the analysis 20-30 mins prior. Remove even if it is before the capturing of the clinical visuals and be aware you are removing all oil from the skin.
1. Place the black OBSERV headband on your client, make sure all hair is tucked under the headband, and any earrings are removed. Fluorescent fabrics that are white and hair that is white/chemically foiled/grey will illuminate in the different light modes of the OBSERV. Light, blonde and grey hair and earrings need to be covered with the black headband.
2. Place the OBSERV cape around your client’s neck, this can be used to cover the patients white or fluorescent clothing that can interfere with the light modes’ readings and therefore accuracy.
3. Make sure to sanitise the chin strap between each client, using a disinfectant/sanitising wipe.
4. The lightshade is designed to keep the light out. Clean the lightshade before using according to the hygiene protocol and attach the lightshade to the device with the magnets. Close the fabric properly via magnets under the chin.
