What Makes This Different What Makes This Different

Most skin analysis systems stop at texture and wrinkles. We begin with truth-telling. At Beautélanin, we don’t just scan your skin — we decode it through a culturally safe, melanin-intelligent lens powered by our proprietary diagnostic framework:

MélanoMatrix-D™
M–R–B–U–P™
→ Melanin Density
→ Reactivity & Inflammatory Response
→ Barrier Resistance
→ UV Legacy & Pigment Activation
→ Pigment Memory & Mapping

“This is not a flaw — this is your skin remembering.”

MélanoMatrix-D™ Full-Spectrum Skin Analysis

$95 · 45 minutes
A melanin-safe diagnostic experience powered by NoirScience™

Your skin deserves more than a generic AI interpretation.
This advanced skin analysis blends high-resolution technology with MélanoMatrix-D™, my proprietary diagnostic system created specifically for melanin-rich skin. The machine gathers the raw data , but I translate it through a lens the industry has never built for us.

This service includes:

1. Pre-Scan Intake & History

We begin with a short consultation reviewing:

  • Your current skincare routine

  • Health history or medications

  • Your concerns in your own words

  • Environmental and cultural skin factors

  • Your relationship with your skin

2. 3D AI Skin Scan

Powered by VISIA-style skin technology and proprietary interpretation

Using advanced multi-spectrum lighting (UV, RGB, polarized) and AI zone mapping, we measure:

🌀 Pore size
🌀 Pigment irregularities
🌀 Inflammation & redness
🌀 Barrier health
🌀 UV damage
🌀 Oil activity (not “oily” but barrier compensating)
🌀 Texture
🌀 Hydration levels

AI Scan (Data Collection Only)

We capture detailed imaging of your pores, texture, hydration, UV exposure, pigment behavior, and barrier condition.

3. Melanin-Safe Interpretation

Where our science meets soul. We use your scan data to build your MélanoMatrix-D™ Profile, incorporating:

  • Your undertone using our Undertone Wheel™

  • A visual overlay of our 3D Pilosebaceous Unit and Extracellular Matrix Models

  • Analysis of pigment activity and ancestral memory

  • Inflammation mapping with cultural understanding

Interpretation Through our NoirScience™

This is where most machines stop. But we translate your data through melanin-safe science.

Using our MélanoMatrix-D™ profile and our proprietary Undertone Wheel™, we interpret not just what’s visible, but what’s inherited and remembered.

We help you understand:

  • Why your skin darkens as protection — not damage.

  • When inflammation is a trauma echo, not just a trigger.

  • Why your barrier resists because it remembers.

MRBUP™ Diagnostic Logic (Melanin-Safe Interpretation)

I reinterpret the machine’s results using MRBUP™ — a five-axis analysis designed to correct AI bias and reveal the skin patterns traditional tools misread in deeper skin tones.

You receive assessment across:

  • M – Melanin Density

  • R – Inflammatory Response

  • B – Barrier Behavior & Resilience

  • U – UV Legacy & Pigment Activation

  • P – Pigment Memory & Pattern Mapping

✔ Undertone Wheel™ Evaluation

Your undertone, surface tone, and pigment pathways are mapped accurately — not through Eurocentric standards that misclassify melanin-rich skin.

✔ Cultural + Environmental Interpretation

We apply real-world context: lifestyle, stress, climate, ancestry, products, diet, heat exposure, and more. This is the part AI cannot do.

✔ Barrier-Conscious Recommendations

You receive a beginner-friendly but clinically grounded plan that actually respects the physiology of Black and melanin-rich skin.

✔ Custom Post-Analysis Email Summary

Delivered within 24–48 hours with:

  • product recommendations (clean, non-irritating, melanin-safe)

  • ingredient guidance

  • under-eye and PIH prevention strategy

  • exfoliation schedule

  • hydration & barrier repair plan

  • 2–4 week revisit suggestion

Why This Costs $95

Because you’re not paying for a scan — you’re paying for interpretation.

AI misreads melanin-rich skin every single day, exaggerating wrinkles, mislabeling texture, missing PIH, misreading undertones, and flagging false “damage.”

This service corrects those inaccuracies using a diagnostic framework created from lived experience, clinical knowledge, and cultural understanding.

No machine can offer that.
No school teaches that.
No generic esthetician understands that.

This is melanin-specific, data-corrected, culturally-rooted skin science.

We break down what we see without shame, judgment, or the usual European standard metrics. Expect phrases like:

“You’re not dehydrated — you’re defending.”
“Your pigment isn’t stubborn — it’s protective.”
“This redness isn’t a flaw — it’s your inflammatory story.”

“You’re not oily — your barrier is defending you.”
“Your pigment isn’t resistant — it’s strategic.”
“This inflammation isn’t sensitivity — it’s memory.”

The AI REAd the melanin clusters = wrinkles or aging patterns

Look at their “aging simulation” image:
Those grid-like markings the machine labeled as:

  • “wrinkles”

  • “deep pigment”

  • “aging”

are actually just melanin clusters + natural depth from undertones.

This ALWAYS happens with:

  • brown skin

  • textured areas

  • shadow-prone areas

  • uneven lighting

The algorithm was trained mostly on light-skinned datasets, so melanin looks like:

  • “holes”

  • “wrinkles”

  • “cracks”

  • “pitting”

This is diagnostic bias.

2. The UV/blue-light scan ALWAYS exaggerates on deep skin

That bright blue dotted image?
For melanin-rich skin, blue light does this:

  • Over-highlights the nose, chin, and mouth

  • Falsely boosts “porphyrin” and “deep pigment”

  • Makes normal melanin look like “damage”

It’s literally designed for Fitzpatrick I–III originally.

You are NOT in those categories.

3. The system gave My face DSPW: a “classic caucasian dryness classification”

DSPW = Dry / Sensitive / Pigmented / Wrinkled
This is a classic Kligman-based Skin Typing System that was made using:

  • mostly white women

  • in controlled dermatology labs

  • decades ago

  • with ZERO cultural variables

  • ZERO melanin variables

And our AI scanner pulled that EXACT outdated model and slapping it onto my face.

It’s not reading MY SKIN. It’s reading the wrong template.

4. 16% moisture??

The AI read moisture content on my face at 16%, even when my skin in the RAW image looks:

  • hydrated

  • plump

  • luminous

Custom Protocol Guidance (Not Sales)

Based on your scan and profile, we suggest:

  • Barrier recovery strategy

  • Hydration vs. lipid repair

  • Rituals that protect pigment legacy

  • Recommended professional treatments (facials, peels, masks)
