Set for . The singularity is removable, with . Injectivity of the conformal map makes away from zero, and conformality makes as well. Since the disc is simply connected, has a holomorphic logarithm. Therefore is a harmonic function, including at zero, and .
The mean value property for harmonic functions gives, for every ,For general , boundary values mean radial limits, rather than a continuous extension of to every point of the circle. The boundary logarithmic mean of a univalent function justifies taking : the Koebe distortion theorem bounds below by , while the standard integral-mean bound for a univalent function, for , gives uniform integrability of its positive logarithm. Radial limits exist almost everywhere, and passage to the integral follows. Thus, writing for arc length on the unit circle,The expression on the left is the logarithm of the conformal radius of at .
