VISIA is a fully automated, non-invasive facial imaging system. This highly sophisticated system scans the skin and captures information from both the surface and deeper layers of the skin. Once the scanning is complete, multi-view images are generated, highlighting skin conditions like pigmentation, pores, wrinkles, etc. This precision skin analysis is an extremely helpful tool in comparing present skin conditions and helps your dermatologist and aesthetician to tailor-made your skincare regime and treatments.

During the VISIA Skin Analysis, the system generates both 2D and 3D images focusing on the following eight areas of concern:

• Spots. The discoloration on the skin varies from person to person. These can be segmented into freckles, acne, hyperpigmentation, or even detect skin cancer that the VISIA minutely highlights.
• Wrinkles. As the skin ages, it loses elasticity. This natural process can generate wrinkles. However, for some individuals, the appearance of wrinkles varies in different areas like under the eyes, around the mouth, forehead, etc. The VISIA Skin Analysis highlights the area of the skin over-exposed to UV rays.
• Texture. The VISIA technology creates a three-dimensional model of the skin, revealing the overall skin surface. This focuses on the differences in the smoothness and identifying any indentations or valley lines on the surface.
• Pores. The openings in the skin that allow hair follicles to stem out can also be identified in the form of shadows that surround your skin.
• UV Spots. Ultraviolet damage is vital to be detected in time by scanning the subdermal layer of the skin. These UV sports once detected with the VISIA system can highlight the areas more prone to skin damage or cancer.
• Brown Spots. Abundant production of melanin can cause brown spots or hyperpigmentation, lentigines, and melasma. The VISIA system identifies the freckles from pigmentation and distinguishes the area that requires treatment.
• Red Areas. A number of causes including acne, rosacea, spider veins, or inflammation can leave the skin sensitive. Although not always visible to the naked eye, red areas can be detected by the VISIA Skin Analysis quite easily.
• Porphyrins. Bacteria and germ accumulation on the skin can lead to clogged pores called porphyrins. With the help of VISIA imaging, these pores can be highlighted in time and treated to prevent acne.

Our beauty experts will recommend you to come in for your appointment without any makeup on. However, if you do have any makeup or sunscreen on at the time of your appointment, our team will help cleanse your skin thoroughly before the imaging.

Apart from this, there is nothing much you need to do. For the imaging, a specialist will assist you in seating you comfortably in front of the VISIA system before beginning the process of your facial scanning.
