Visualize the skin damaging and aging effects of ultraviolet light.

UVScan is designed to visualize the damage and aging effects of ultraviolet light on your skin by analyzing photos from your iPhones or iPods photo library or integrated camera.

Excessive exposure to sunlight and tanning booths can lead to premature skin aging and chronic skin damage, which may result in skin cancer. These damaging effects can be alleviated by staying in the shade, wearing light clothing, or by using sunscreen.

UVScan visualizes the damaged part of the skin as darker areas. Smaller wrinkles in the facial area, which are indicative of prematurly aged skin due to uv exposure, are easy to spot in the same way. The analysis works best about 24 to 48 hours after intensive exposure.

The analysis relies on images taken under good lighting conditions, without extreme dark or bright spots. For best results with an iPhone 4, use images taken with a distance of roughly 4 inches (10 centimeters). Shots of the cheek and nose should be taken from the side, while shots of the forehead should be taken directly facing the area to analyze. The integrated flash light of the iPhone 4 will further enhance the quality of the analysis.

UVScan resulted in a 2004 scientific paper:

Horrível!!!!

Dinheiro jogado fora, não presta para nada!!!

Nicht mehr als ein Fotofilter?

Ich kann keinen Unterschied zwischen dem "UV"-Bild und dem gleichen Bild mit einem normalen Kontrastfilter (zB von Instagram) erkennen, egal wie und mit welchem Licht ich mein Gesicht fotografiere. Riecht stark nach Abzocke...

Ist ganz okay

App. Funktionier so weit gut!! ich kann es ja nicht beurteilen ob es lügt !! iPhone 5 Optimierung fehlt ?!

Ist totale Spielerei

Total unnötig!!! Kann man auch einfach ein Fotoprogramm nehmen, das hat sogar noch mehr Funktionen. Würd am liebsten keinen Stern geben!!!

No substitute for a Woods lamp

This app is cool for the everyday consumer who would like to get a sense of their photodamage, but it cannot show you the damage below the surface of the akin the way a professional product in a physicians office can. Its not a substitute for a Woods lamp or the brown channel on a Visia.

Non salva le foto...

In linea di massima è una bella idea... Davvero un peccato che non abbia la funzione di salvataggio della foto UV... Ciò permetterebbe anche di fare raffronti con il dopo eventuale terapia... Speriamo venga aggiornata in tal senso.

Not just a BW filter

People who are saying this is just a black and white filter are wrong. The dev team is basically cycling through all the pixels in the image and finding edges in pixels values then flagging them as distinctive features. BW filter would have made my skin white on the plains of my face not dark or spotted. This app indeed is picking up on the differences between my skin pixels and it actually did show me the most damaged part of my head and shoulders (décolletage) as extremely damaged. In the original image it showed up clear and flawless.
