Machine learning for the science of skin.

Skinapse Labs is a clinical and academic research lab. We build models that read skin from photographs and follow it over time, with dermatologists and university partners.

Skin is hard to measure. We’re working on that.

Most skin care is still judged by eye, one visit at a time. The lab studies how machine learning can make that measurable and easier to reach. These are the questions we’re working on.

  1. Can one model recognise and grade many skin conditions from an ordinary photo?

    Image models checked against dermatologists’ grading, across conditions from acne and eczema to psoriasis and wound healing. The goal is a single framework rather than one model per condition.

    In development

  2. Can a model of one person’s skin show how it is likely to change?

    A longitudinal “skin twin” built from repeated photos, to study response to treatment, likely flare triggers and change with age. The hand at the top of this page is an early prototype.

  3. Does it hold up with clinicians and real people?

    Studies designed with dermatologists and run with researchers and students at partner universities. Nothing leaves the lab until it has been tested against clinical judgement.

Skinapse Healthfrom Skinapse Labs

A calm daily ritual for your skin.

A few minutes a day is enough. The app keeps track so you can see, over weeks, what your skin likes, shaped by what the lab learns along the way.

Check in each day
Note how your skin feels alongside sleep, stress, diet and the products you used.
See what moves your skin
Your timeline lines habits and routines up against how your skin looks, so patterns show up in weeks, not years.
Follow a routine that fits
Suggested routines and products, matched to your skin and adjusted as your check-ins come in.

Skinapse Health is a wellness and tracking app. It doesn’t diagnose or treat skin conditions; for those, see a dermatologist.
