What is SAM?
• SAM is a Skin Analyzer Magnifier machine.
• A sophisticated, portable tool that ingeniously combines black-light
blue lighting with magnification for analyzing skin conditions.
• SAM causes the skin to resemble a photo negative with various conditions
of the skin illuminating in specific, recognizable colors.
• A trained Skin Care Consultant can then analyze the skin and recommend
product solutions.
Note: SAM should not be used for diagnosis or treatment
of any medical condition. A licensed physician should be consulted for
diagnosis and treatment of any and all medical conditions. The value of
SAM is in highlighting and making recognizable to the trained consultant
skin conditions that respond positively to ARTISTRY skin care products.
What does SAM do?
• SAM enables the Skin Care Consultant to fully
analyze the surface and deeper layers of the epidermis in order to determine
proper treatment of various skin conditions/problems.
• SAM aids in the discovery of conditions that
are not visible to the naked eye such as blemishes, congestion under the
skin, dehydration, and degeneration of the skin.Conditions that are visible
to the naked eye on light skins are often harder to see or missed altogether
on darker skins.
• Through a magniiying mirror, SAM also enables
the customer to see his or her skin conditions/problems and the progress
of improvement with the help of proper skin care product use.
