Your skin shows its condition. The iFlow® HRV Scan shows the reasons.
Do you know this? On some days your skin looks fresh and clear, on others dull and tired, and you can hardly explain to yourself why. The answer rarely lies on the surface. Above all, your skin shows one thing: what is currently happening in your body.
Your heart does not beat like a metronome in a constant rhythm: the fine intervals between the individual beats fluctuate naturally, and precisely this can be measured. This heart rate variability, HRV for short, reveals how flexibly your autonomic nervous system can switch between tension and recovery.
It is precisely this regulation that helps determine how well your skin is supplied with blood and nutrients. Scientific reviews assume that impaired stress regulation could be involved in a large proportion of all illnesses – in some analyses, around 80 percent. If your nervous system stays in balance, your skin can regenerate well. If it comes under lasting pressure, this shows sooner or later in the mirror.
This knowledge about your nervous system can be put to concrete use. The iFlow® HRV Scan measures exactly the fluctuation described – in a short, calm measurement of five minutes via an ear clip, complemented by a short phase with a prescribed breathing rhythm, which makes the result even more reliable. This happens comfortably at the beginning of your institute visit, before the actual treatment begins, and forms the basis for your individual skin care and health concept. The following statements can be derived from the measurement results
Stress load: shows how heavily your body is currently strained, often before you notice anything yourself.
Autonomic balance: reveals whether the tension nerve or the relaxation nerve is currently in charge.
Recovery capacity: provides information about how much power reserve your body currently has available for regeneration.
Inflammaging score: makes visible whether silent inflammatory processes predominate, which can also accelerate skin ageing.
Autonomic age: shows how resilient your nervous system actually is compared to your chronological age – and with repeated measurements, in which direction it is developing.
One signal, many answers.

A five-minute resting measurement, complemented by a short breathing test, can be reproduced and is professionally interpreted by a trained specialist. Your smartwatch, on the other hand, mainly collects everyday raw data. It averages over the whole day, influenced by movement, coffee or stress, and provides no professional interpretation. The iFlow® HRV Scan measures under controlled conditions and analyses many times more HRV values according to strict scientific criteria.
"The smartwatch shows a number. The iFlow® HRV Scan shows what this number means for your skin
Your result becomes an additional basis for your consultation. The experience and expertise of your beautician now combine with a concrete measured value, allowing her recommendation to be tailored even more precisely to your individual skin condition.
Your skin shows its condition. The iFlow® HRV Scan shows the reasons.
You sit in a relaxed position and wear a small pulse sensor on your earlobe.
The measurement takes around five minutes. Sometimes a one-minute measurement with a prescribed breathing rhythm follows. The analysis and evaluation of the measurement, which takes place immediately afterwards, can also be transferred to your smartphone on request.
No. The ear clip measures purely optically via your pulse, entirely without pain and without taking blood.
More than most people initially suspect. In studies, stress is considered a risk factor in a large proportion of all illnesses and, controlled via your autonomic nervous system, has a direct effect on the circulation and supply of your skin. The iFlow® HRV Scan makes visible how this regulation is currently doing in your case.
Yes. With repeated measurements, the iFlow® HRV Scan shows you the progression – for example, how your autonomic age or your inflammaging score develops over several appointments. In this way, even the smallest positive changes and progress become visible.
Your smartwatch observes passively throughout the day and averages values that are distorted by movement and everyday life anyway. The iFlow® HRV Scan, on the other hand, measures actively under controlled resting conditions and thus provides a much more precise picture of your actual regulatory capacity.
No. It replaces neither medical diagnostics nor a visit to the doctor, but serves your personal health care in a cosmetic context.
