At Projuvenate, we look beyond the surface to understand your skin at a deeper, cellular level. The Skin Life Analytics Swab is a gentle, non-invasive diagnostic tool that assesses mitochondrial DNA damage — an early marker of oxidative stress and biological ageing. These insights help inform targeted recommendations to support your skin’s long-term resilience and vitality.
Mitochondria are the powerhouses of skin cells, driving natural repair and renewal. Over time, oxidative stress can damage mitochondrial DNA, reducing cellular energy and slowing regeneration – early indicators of ageing that may appear before visible changes on the skin’s surface.
The Skin Life Analytics swab collects a sample of skin cells using a soft, non-invasive applicator. The sample is analysed in a specialist laboratory for signs of mitochondrial DNA damage. This allows us to identify cellular stress and provide informed, personalised strategies to help protect and optimise skin health.

If appropriate, the option to include a Skin Life Analytics swab may be discussed during your medical consultation or medical-grade skincare consultation. Should you choose to proceed, a soft swab is taken from the skin – quick, painless, and non-invasive.
Your sample is then sent to a specialist laboratory where mitochondrial DNA damage is assessed. This analysis produces a detailed report showing your skin’s recent exposure to oxidative stress, a biological snapshot that can guide long-term strategies for maintaining skin health and resilience.
Results are usually available within a few weeks. When combined with your clinical assessment, this information helps us tailor skincare and wellness recommendations to your individual needs.
