VISIA – Comprehensive Digital Skin Analysis
What is Visia skin analysis?
Visia skin analysis is a combination of specialized photography
techniques and computer software that helps generate images of
the skin that will allow us to evaluate various aspects of the
skin. This will allow us to look at imperfections such as brown
spots or red spots in the skin. It also evaluates the wrinkles
and gives us an idea of the bacteria on our skin. Not only will
it show us a good evaluation of what we can visibly see with our
eye, it also gives us an indication of what is just beneath the
surface of the skin that is eventually going to be showing in
later years. A comparison is made between your skin and skin of
people your own age.
What is the basic technology used during Visia skin analysis?
•VISIA’s True-UV™ technology
One portion of the evaluation includes looking at the skin under
harmless UV radiation. This highlights bacteria like P. Acnes
that is trapped in skin pores. The resultant image is processed
using a computer which will result in a comparison with people
of your own age.
•RBX™ Technology
The RBX™ technology is exclusive to the Visia skin analysis.
The RBX™ technology separates the red and brown skin components
that are underneath the skin and can detect skin problems such
as rosacea, spider veins, melasma and sun damage. This technology
is a combination of photography and computer analysis.
•Multi-spectral imaging
By using light in different wavelengths, it is possible to view
different images of the same area of skin. This is how we can
focus on different areas such as red and brown spots, as well
as the amount of wrinkling or bacteria on the skin.
•High quality imaging
Apart from analyzing the skin using different color spectrums,
Visia skin analysis will also take close-up photographs of the
skin surface from different angles. This allows us to analyze
the pore size and wrinkles. These fine lines and wrinkles can
be again compared to people of similar age to give you a better
idea of the overall condition of your skin.
How can I understand the results of a Visia skin analysis?
The Visia skin analysis will be carefully reviewed with you explaining
each part of the procedure. There is a visual report that is given
that shows both a photograph as well as explanations for each
type of photograph. This will allow you to compare different types
of treatments as well as your overall progress.
What are the advantages of Visia skin analysis?
By evaluating both the skin surface and the changes that are
directly under the surface we can get a better overall view of
the skin. This will help us target appropriate treatments for
your complete skin care.
How can the Visia skin analysis be used?
Our licensed Master Esthetician, Melissa Miles will use the Visia
skin analysis to help direct your complete skin care program.
This will help us determine the most appropriate skin care regimen
specifically for you as well as any other adjunct procedures that
may help counteract previous sun damage in your skin. This also
gives us a good tool to monitor your treatment. As another bonus
the Visia Skin Analysis can also simulate age, demonstrating what
you may look like in another 5 to 7 years.
