Skin & Acne Scan

Skin and acne insights in seconds, checked by real doctors.

Run an AI-driven Skin Scan from your camera and get a screening read on a skin concern in seconds — with a real doctor’s opinion a tap away if you need one.

What it checks

What your AI Skin Scan checks

Your Skin Scan gives you an AI-driven screening read on common skin concerns — it’s a first look, not a lab result.

Skin concerns

General skin health markers, screened from your photo for anything worth watching.

Acne

A screening read on acne severity and pattern, to help you track how your skin is doing over time.

Spots to watch

Marks or spots flagged as worth a closer look, so you know when it’s time to get a doctor’s opinion.

Your privacy

What happens to your skin photos

Skin Scan photos are processed to generate your result and handled in line with POPIA. They’re stored securely, never sold and never shared — the only time a photo leaves the app is if you choose to send it to a doctor as part of a consultation.

KNOW WHEN TO ACT

When to see a doctor about a result

A Skin Scan screens and gives you insight — it doesn’t diagnose. If your result is flagged, or a spot changes, grows, bleeds or doesn’t heal, don’t wait: book a consultation (from R325, available 24/7) and let a real, registered doctor take a look, including a script or referral where it’s clinically appropriate.
