What does the Glogau Scale evaluate?

  1. Combination skin

  2. Photo damage

  3. Sensitivity

  4. Skin hydration

The correct answer is: Photo damage

The Glogau Scale is a system used to evaluate photo damage on the skin. It categorizes skin aging into four different classifications based on the severity of photo damage, including mild (Grade I), moderate (Grade II), advanced (Grade III), and severe (Grade IV). This scale helps estheticians and skincare professionals assess the extent of sun damage on their clients' skin and determine appropriate treatment plans to address issues such as wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and loss of elasticity.
