Healthy Living: Skintervention - Northern Michigan's News Leader

Wrinkles, brown spots, acne, and sun damage. There are all kinds of skin issues to worry about. But what if you could catch these conditions before they surface? Doctors are using new technology to spot skin problems and treat them before you can even see them.

What you do now, could determine how you will look later. That's why 34 year old Wanda Rubbet and 27 year old Francis Alvarez are getting a skin analysis. The machine can tell them what's going on underneath their skin.

The machine takes a 3-D snapshot and compares it to five-thousand people of the same age and skin type. You can see sun damage, pore size, wrinkles and bacteria. It can also show you what you'll look like in 10 years. The right treatments can slow aging down, but Doctor Barry DiBernardo says there are a lot of things we do wrong. Watch the video to see what those are.  

The skin analysis typically costs about 100 dollars.
