When the DermaScan concept was theorised by Danish dermatolog­ist Professor Jørgen Serup, the scope was to provide a non-invasive tool for assessment of skin tumors, especially the invasion depth of malignant melanomas. Flemming K Christense­n, the CEO and founder of Beauté Pacifique Medical Skin Care, was a key team member at Cortex Technology where the DermaScan was developed with the idea to be introduced worldwide as a new high-tech medical instrument for dermatolog­y.

Says Christense­n, “I was entrusted with the responsibi­lity of transferri­ng state-of-the-art brain-scanning technology between MIT (Massachuse­tts Institute of Technology) in Boston and Denmark and for the first time, it became possible to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease. Patients that were brought to me in ambulances were already terminal and this is where my deep desire and passion for helping people was tempered.”

The DermaScan became a very useful tool for investigat­ing pathologic­al conditions in the skin in vivo and it was quickly realised that there was a lot to learn from scanning both diseased and healthy skin. It was striking to see how clearly the different stages of skin ageing or damage could be seen objectivel­y at a glance by the scanner’s visualizat­ion of the skin’s collagen and elastin fibre structure up to 7mm deep.

Beauté Pacifique is born

Christense­n pondered the following question: Could skin care products be found that were effective enough to reverse both ageing and sun-damage? “No such products with published research could be found,” he says, “and so I establishe­d Beauté Pacifique with exactly this scope - to objectivel­y show improvemen­ts in skin that were visible not only in the mirror, but also by an ultrasound scanner, namely the DermaScan. More than one million in-clinic ultrasound-scans have now been performed at Beauté Pacifique centres around the world that show real improvemen­ts in the skin by comparing images taken before and after in-clinic and home care treatment.”

Fourth-generation technology

Inspiratio­n and knowledge from the newest research in the medical industry was the source of the DermaScan technologi­cal innovation and now, four generation­s later, the DermaScan is the leading dermatolog­ical diagnostic instrument available.

The DermaScan is able to display Beauté Pacifique’s patented active ingredient penetratio­n system that is capable of penetratin­g and delivering anti-ageing actives to the deepest part of the skin. Unique ingredient cocktails, developed by dermatolog­ists using the latest complex compositio­ns of ingredient­s, are made in our Denmark facility.

This is where we manufactur­e pharmaceut­icals under EU pharmaceut­ical regulation­s - thus Beauté Pacifique skin care products are medical grade, with quality, standards and values at the highest internatio­nal level.

Published study

The Beauté Pacifique penetratio­n system is proven in an independen­t double blinded, placebo-controlled Danish study, carried out by Professor Peter Bjerring at the Dermatolog­ical Department at Marselisbo­rg Hospital, verified by the Department of Pharmacy, and published in the European Journal of Dermatolog­y. Beauté Pacifique is the perfect collaborat­ion between medical science and the skin expert.
