Lancer Scale
Richard Glagau, M.D. developed in the 1990’s. The key factors defining a Glogau category may be how wrinkles appear and the presence of photo-aging=visible signs of aging. This scale was originally designed to determine the treatment protocol a physician needed to use to address a visible condition.
Glogau Scale
No wrinkles while client is at rest or moving; early photo-aging; mild pigment changes; no keratosis; minimal to no wrinkles; 20’s to 30’s or younger; minimal acne scarring can be seen, if present; no make-up or minimal make-up necessary.
Glogau Type I
Wrinkles only in motion, visible when the person is talking, laughing, frowning, and so on; Early to moderate photo-aging; Lentigines, other pigments changes showing; Wrinkles showing; Light keratosis; Nasolabial lines starting to form; ages 30’s-40’s; minimal make-up.
Glogau Type II
Wrinkles at rest, you see the wrinkles when the person is not moving; Advance photo-aging; Hyperpigmentation; Telangecasia; Keratosis; Wrinkles even when not moving; Ages 40’s-50’s; Make-up always worn Acne scarring , when present, shows through make-up.
Glogau Type III
Wrinkles are predominant characteristic; you see only wrinkles; severe phot-aging, sallow-ashy skin color; Prior skin cancers; Wrinkles all over; Make-up not worn, sets in cracks; Sever acne scarring.
Glogau Type IV
Dermatologist Mark G. Rubin M.D. developed a slightly different method for determining the level of photo-damage. Looks at the histologic depth of visible skin changes. This method is based on where damage is present in the skin. (Woods lamp helps determine the depth of solar damage.)
Rubin’s Scale
Changes in epidermis only; primarily superficial changes, roughness, lentigenes, a dull rashy appearance and increased thickness. (Spa)
Rubin’s Level I
Changes in epidermis and papillary dermis. May include all of level I, as well as keratosis, stronger pigmentation values, flat seborrheic keratosis, and an increase in wrinkles. (Medi-Spa)
Rubin’s Scale Level II
Changes in epidermis, papillary dermis, and reticular dermis. Most severe level of photo-damage, and skin will be leathery and yellow in color and exhibit open comedones. (Dr. Only)
Rubin’s Scale Level III
When women age they loose ________ and have higher ________ balance.
Estrogen; Androgen
Traditional Chinese Medicine. Energy Medicine. Belief that the body is made up of not only matter (solids and fluids) but of energy as well.
TMC
The energies of the lungs (yin) to move vital energy throughout the body and large intestines (yang).
Dry, dull, lifeless skin; dry scalp and brittle hair; rashes, eczema.
Lungs: cheeks extended from the jawbone to the ears, on both sides Large Intestine (extension of the lung area): down the side of the neck, on both sides
Metal
Where is the reflex zone for the lungs on the face?
(Upper cheek) gums and teeth (lower cheek)
Most androgen in her system. Tall and broad-shouldered and have small buttocks. With their thicker skin, these clients tend to show the visible signs of aging more slowly.
AY Type
Thicker skin and jaw that is more oval to square. Straighter in the torso with a less defined waist and smaller in the hips and thighs proportionately. A Step above EY in adrogen levels.
AX Type
Dry, dull, lifeless skin; dry scalp and brittle hair; rashes and eczema.
Metal Condition
Simplest form of skin typing. Measuring the amount of pigment in the skin and it’s tolerance to the sun. Most importantly this helps you predict the skins response to treatment.
