The Problem

People often rely on guesswork or scattered, surface-level observations to understand their own health and appearance, noticing things like fine lines, pigmentation, or body changes without clinical context. As one customer describes, they had never really noticed specific skin issues until they were mapped out, rather than just guessed at. There is no single place that combines clinical imaging, body composition, and biomarker data into one session with results explained together.

The Solution

Layers offers a roughly one-hour, in-person visit where clinical instruments measure over 150 data points across four categories: skin, hair, body, and metabolic health. Skin measurement includes clinical skin imaging, facial analysis, and color analysis. Hair measurement includes scalp and hair density analysis plus hair fiber microscopy. Body measurement covers body recomposition and vitals and physical metrics. Metabolic measurement includes an advanced biomarker panel and continuous glucose monitoring. Results are read together with the customer in context rather than delivered as raw data, and the company offers two visit cadences: an annual 'Essentials' plan and a quarterly 'Optimize' plan.
