“What is my skin type?” sounds like a simple question. In this ELLE interview excerpt, Dr. Wu (吳英俊), chief director of the E-SKIN medical aesthetics group, explains why the answer is more complex than a dry-or-oily label. Wrinkles, pigmentation, pores, water balance and facial structure all contribute to an individual’s skin condition.
Making the invisible easier to discuss
The feature describes EVE MUSE’s five-camera imaging, controlled lighting and consistent angles, with analysis extending to the neck. Its curved design prompts playful comparisons with an “egg-shaped” machine or a revealing mirror, but the clinical discussion focuses on the information in the images.
Dr. Huang (黃政傑), also featured in the interview, explains how facial contours and proportions can support injectable consultations. UV imaging adds another perspective: a marketing manager in her thirties discovered pigment patterns that were not apparent in everyday light. Dr. Wu discusses the usefulness of noticing such patterns earlier.
A report is a starting point
Age-group comparisons can challenge a person’s assumptions. The excerpt describes a mother who believed her skin was in good condition, but found that pigment and wrinkle results were less favorable than expected when compared with peers. Discussing the report with her daughter prompted a more concrete conversation about care.
The feature also discusses symmetry, proportions and angles, drooping eyelids, nasolabial folds and midface volume. These structural observations sit alongside skin findings, giving physician and patient more to discuss when deciding priorities. Automatic concern ranking and records from successive visits can help make that discussion collaborative.
The priorities are not the same for everyone. Younger patients often focus on oil, acne and pores; older patients may ask about wrinkles, tone and loss of firmness. Dr. Huang discusses aging simulations as a way to encourage sustained attention, while the doctors stress that interpretation and professional judgment remain essential.
Keeping the basics in view
Dr. Wu’s practical emphasis is consistent cleansing, moisturizing and sun protection. He favors earlier attention to skin health over postponing care until changes are more difficult to address. Together, the doctors describe AI images and longitudinal records as tools for a more informed relationship between patient and physician, rather than a substitute for individualized assessment.
