Salon or Clinic: Which Analyser?

A salon uses an analyser to start a conversation and sell a facial. A clinic uses it to document, plan and track. Same category, different job.

Most buying mistakes come from choosing the other side's machine.

What each needs

	Salon / skin studio	Clinic
Room	Shared space; semi-open is best	Consultation room; hood or semi-open
Speed	Fast scan, simple visuals	Full capture, every indicator
Reports	Clear A–E colours, QR to phone	Editable reports, Baumann/ITA typing, before/after
Typical pick	A5, K55	B3, K36, K71

The common trap

Salons over-buy capture hardware they will not use; clinics under-buy reporting they will use every day. Match the report to how you sell — see making the report work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a salon use a clinic analyser?
