Requiring only a function call to launch, our **FaceScan** is designed to be triggered from anywhere within your app.

Below is a typical journey a user will go through to access the scan and subsequently their scan results, consisting of:

### Step 1. Real-Time Scan

We first conduct a 3 second calibration allowing us to lock onto key areas of the face and to adjusted the contrast of the image for a perfect reading.&#x20;

Once calibrated, a 30 second scan begins measuring those key points on the face, securely sending the recorded measurements to the cloud.

## Behind The Scenes

We use advanced signal processing to read the minute changes in color of the sub-dermal layer of the skin. This works on any skin type and tone.

### Step 2. Scan Processing

After the scan process has completed, the recorded measurements are then processed in the cloud into results.
