Optimize sunscreen efficacy and assure product application uniformity to give your skin the ultimate defense against photodamage. Designed for use with the Pavise UV Camera, the Pavise app utilizes advanced UV lens technology to capture photos and videos. The UV Camera and app reveal existing sun damage below the skin’s surface to aid in the early detection and diagnostics of future dark spots, sun spots, age spots, hyperpigmentation, and melasma, while optimizing product application and removal by giving a unique look at skin in the comfort of your own space, and optimizing sunscreen reapplication on the go. When UV protection is applied onto the face and body, including in the form of eyewear, it will be presented in-app as a dark blue shade if the mechanism of actions is absorbing, and a light blue shade if the mechanism of action is scattering. Capture images and videos, in full and split-screen modes; adjust filter settings including brightness, contrast, and more to suit your personal needs. Ideal for skincare enthusiasts looking to make the most of their sunscreen, cleanser, and other products, as well as those seeking to protect their skin fully, reduce the risk of skin cancer, repair preexisting photodamage, and prevent skin aging.
