BioPhotonic Scanner

A BioPhotonic Scanner is a non-invasive medical device that uses light-based (Raman spectroscopy) technology to measure the level of carotenoids (antioxidants) in human tissue—typically in the skin of the palm or hand.

How Does It Work?

1. It shines a low-energy blue laser light onto your skin.
2. The Raman scattering effect measures how molecules in your skin respond to the light.
3. Based on the response, it calculates your Skin Carotenoid Score (SCS), which reflects your antioxidant status.

Why Is It Innovative?

1. Non-invasive: No blood, no needles, no pain.
2. Instant results: Scores are available within seconds.
3. Preventive insight: Helps users monitor their antioxidant levels, which are linked to immunity, aging, and chronic disease risk.

Common Uses:

1. Health & wellness programs
2. Nutritional assessments
3. Lifestyle coaching
4. Corporate wellness & insurance screening

Why This Test Matters:

1. Measures Cellular Defense (Antioxidant Levels)-Antioxidants protect cells from oxidative stress, which is caused by free radicals. High oxidative stress is linked to:

1a. Chronic diseases (diabetes, heart disease, cancer)
1b. Accelerated aging
1c. Weakened immunity
1d. Inflammation

2. Prevention Through Early Insight-By knowing your Skin Carotenoid Score, you can:

2a. Identify poor dietary habits
2b. Take action before symptoms arise
2c. Monitor effectiveness of lifestyle changes or supplements

3. Encourages Healthier Living-People are more motivated to:

3a. Improve diet (fruits, vegetables)
3b. Reduce smoking, stress, pollution exposure
3c. Use high-quality supplements

4. Personalized Health Plans-It supports:

4a. Wellness coaching
4b. Nutrition optimization
4c. Corporate or insurance wellness programs
4d. Long-term tracking

What is the process involved in taking a BioPhotonic Scanner test:

1. Preparation-No special preparation is needed.

The person being tested should wash their hands to remove lotions, oils, or dirt that could interfere with the reading.

2. Positioning

2a. The person places the palm of their hand (usually left hand) on the scanner’s sensor window or near the scanner aperture.
2b. The hand should be still, with slight pressure applied.

3. Scanning

The device emits a low-power blue laser (around 478 nm) for a few seconds.
The laser light interacts with carotenoid molecules in the skin, and the light that bounces back (called Raman scattering) is analyzed.

4. Reading the Score

The scanner processes the light signals and displays a Skin Carotenoid Score (SCS) within 30–60 seconds.

4a. The score typically ranges from 10,000 to 50,000+, where:
4b. < 20,000 = Low (Needs Improvement)
4c. 20,000–40,000 = Moderate
4d. > 40,000 = High (Healthy Antioxidant Status)

5. Interpretation & Counseling

5a. A health coach or device operator can explain the result.
5b. Personalized recommendations are often given—like improving diet, reducing stress, or using antioxidant supplements.
5c. No Pain, No Blood, No Waiting-The entire process takes under 2 minutes.
5d. Safe for all ages, including children and the elderly.
