How does Skin Life Analytics Swab work?

  • 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.

What Can I Expect?

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.
