Giving Back to Skin Health
5% of our monthly revenue supports skin health research and nonprofit initiatives.
At Skinscanner, we believe skin health goes beyond technology. That's why we allocate 5% of our monthly revenue to support skin health research, education, and nonprofit organizations working to improve prevention, awareness, and early detection worldwide.
Why Skin Health Matters
Skin is our largest organ and deserves attention
The skin, spanning about 2 square meters, is the largest organ of the human body. It protects us from environmental factors, regulates body temperature, and is often the first warning system for internal health problems.
Despite its vital functions, skin health is often neglected. Many people notice changes but hesitate to seek professional help — whether due to lack of time, uncertainty, or awareness.
Early detection is key. For skin cancer, the 5-year survival rate is over 99% when detected at an early stage. This number drops dramatically with late diagnosis.
Research, Prevention & Education
The three pillars of our commitment
Research
Supporting scientific studies to improve early skin cancer detection, AI-assisted diagnostics, and new treatment methods. Research is the foundation for medical progress.
Prevention
Promoting preventive measures like sun protection education, regular skin checks, and risk awareness. Many skin conditions can be prevented with simple measures.
Education
Spreading knowledge about skin health among the population. When people understand what to look for, they can make informed decisions about their health.
The Reality of Skin Health

Our Promise
5% of our monthly revenue goes to supporting skin health research and nonprofit organizations. We believe every scan not only helps the individual user but also contributes to a larger mission.
Early Detection Saves Lives
Why regular skin checks are so important
The ABCDE rule is a simple tool for evaluating moles: Asymmetry, Border (irregular edges), Color (multiple colors), Diameter (>6mm), and Evolution (changes over time).
Regular self-examinations increase the chances of noticing changes early. Experts recommend monthly checks and annual professional examinations.
When in doubt: better to visit a doctor once too often than once too few. Early detection can mean the difference between a small outpatient procedure and a life-threatening diagnosis.
