Visia® Facial Imaging & AnalysiS
See beyond your skin's surface with VISIA® Facial Imaging & Skin Analysis!
The VISIA will scan your skin, looking at its strengths and weaknesses. VISIA scans measure your skin pigmentation, pore size, and porphyrins (evidence of bacteria lodged in pores). It also scans UV spots, sun damage, texture, and wrinkles. With this assessment of your skin, we can compare your skin condition to others within your age and sex group. This helps us develop a more targeted treatment program for your specific needs, while also tracking your progress and treatment outcomes over time.
VISIA captures left, right, and frontal facial views, giving us a clear picture of your skin. In minutes, you will be able to view your scans on the computer screen. Your first analysis will become the baseline for your treatment progress. You will be able to view your own before and after pictures and see for yourself how your skin treatment plan is helping you.
Features of the VISIA® System
True Skin Age
Determines the patient's overall skin condition and age, providing a revolutionary new metric to guide the selection of skin care products and treatment options.
UV Damage Analysis
UV spots occur when melanin coagulates below the skin surface as a result of sun damage.
Wrinkle Analysis
Wrinkles are furrows, folds or creases in the skin, which increase in occurrence as a result of sun exposure, and are associated with decreasing skin elasticity.
Red Area Analysis
Red areas represent a potential variety of conditions, such as acne, inflammation, rosacea or spider veins. Blood vessels and hemoglobin contained in the papillary dermis, a sub-layer of skin, give these structures their red color.
Advanced Aging Simulation
VISIA allows you to view how your skin might appear from your current age to 80 years old.
Injectables Simulation
VISIA’s injectable simulation allows you to view the possible benefits of injectables on defined facial regions.
Eyelash Analysis
Evaluates the length and thickness of your eyelashes and the results of lash improvement treatments.
Spot Analysis
Spots are typically brown or red skin lesions including freckles, acne scars, hyper-pigmentation and vascular lesions. Spots are distinguishable by their distinct color and contrast from the background skin tone. Spots vary in size and generally have a circular shape.
Porphyrins Analysis
Porphyrins are bacterial excretions that can become lodged in pores and lead to acne.
Pore Analysis
Pores are the circular surface openings of sweat gland ducts. Due to shadowing, pores appear darker than the surrounding skin tone and are identified by their darker color and circular shape. The VISIA system distinguishes pores from spots based on size; by definition, the area of a pore is much smaller than a spot.
Texture Analysis
Texture is primarily an analysis of skin smoothness. Texture measures skin color and smoothness by identifying gradations in color from the surrounding skin tone, as well as peaks and valleys on the skin surface that indicate variations in the surface texture.
Brown Spot Analysis
Brown Spots are lesions on the skin such as hyper-pigmentation, freckles, lentigines, and melasma. Brown Spots occur from an excess of Melanin. Melanin is produced by melanocytes in the bottom layer of the epidermis. Brown Spots produce an uneven appearance to the skin.
Meaningful Comparisons
Compare results side by side for any combination of views, features or time points, before and after your treatments.
