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.”
What a Full Session Includes
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.
Melanin Has Structure. This Skin Has Memory: A Visual Guide to Melanin-Rich Structure
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)
Add-On Option — $60
