Visia Skin Analysis UK

Visia skin and skin tone analysis uses multispectral imaging to reveal signs of damage and aging above and below the surface of the skin invisible to the human eye. Visia’s computer imaging enables practitioners at the London Dermatology CentreTM to assess the health and appearance of the skin based on eight criteria that affect skin tone. Using state-of-the-art IntelliFlash® and Canfield’s RBX® technology, the Visia Skin Analyzer is able to identify and visualize many skin components to generate detailed skin tone reports. This tool allows us to show you the impact of various skin conditions, any improvements in treatment, and provide a detailed report on the skin condition so that we can recommend the best rejuvenation treatment for you.

What are the criteria that can be analyzed using Visia skin analysis?
Visia Skin Analysis identifies and analyzes eight skin criteria.

Spotting: many different skin lesions are identified as spots. These usually include brown or red skin damage such as freckles, acne and acne scars, hyperpigmentation and vascular damage. The Visia machine is able to distinguish spots and highlight them in a report by recognizing certain colors and how they contrast with the background skin tone. Spots can vary in size and shape, but are usually round.

Pores: Pores are tiny, round surface openings in the skin. The pores are darker than the surrounding skin because the light naturally falls on the face and creates shadows. In addition to being round, this feature of the pores allows the Visia machine to identify them.

Wrinkles: Wrinkles are wrinkles, folds or creases in the skin that increase due to sun exposure. They are associated with decreased skin elasticity and aging. Depending on your facial expressions, the way to identify wrinkles on the Visia machine will vary, and this is a useful tool to show you where you have the most wrinkles. The appearance of fine lines and wrinkles is closely related to aging. Many patients undergo a Visia analysis before beginning facial rejuvenation.

Texture: The texture of the skin is analyzed by carefully observing the color and shade changes of the surrounding skin. This is an analysis of the smoothness of the skin. Peaks and troughs in the skin can be isolated, and the machine will highlight them in yellow (peaks) and blue (troughs) so that you can see the extent of different textures in the skin.

Porphyrin: Acne propionibacterium is the name of the bacteria associated with acne. The bacteria are known to produce substances called porphyrins. Porphyrins are excreted by bacteria and can be excreted into the pores and cause acne. Porphyrins can be identified by UV light and help determine the best treatment for acne.

UV spots: UV spots are usually not visible to the naked eye under normal light. The presence of UV spots is a good indicator of skin damage. These spots appear when melanin (a pigment in the skin) collects under the surface of the skin due to sun damage. The Visia machine can detect these spots and you will be able to see the area where the sun is shining.

Red areas: there are many reasons for facial redness. This includes acne, rosacea and spider moles. The red area is caused by blood vessels circulating in the papillary dermis (deeper layers of the skin) and by hemoglobin (a component of blood). Visia machines are able to detect these areas using RBX technology.

Brown spots: brown spots are areas of hyperpigmentation (skin that is darker than normal surrounding skin). Brown spots include freckles, moles and chloasma. Brown spots are caused by an excess of melanin. Melanin is produced by melanocytes, which are the skin cells in the underlying layer of the skin.

Visia analysis can also report skin age. Using the Visia analysis criteria above, you can compare your skin results with other skin results of the same age and race to provide more information about your skin age and skin tone results. We can provide you with a copy of this report.

How will my skin analysis results be used?
Based on the results of your skin report, your practitioner will be able to recommend the treatment and skin care options that are most appropriate for your skin condition. You will also have the opportunity to ask about any individual results and discuss your options. The London Dermatology Centre uses skin data to identify effective regeneration options that meet your specific needs. This can include many treatments such as skin peels, facials, laser treatments or anti-aging injectables such as Botox and Restylane. learn more about facial rejuvenation treatments here.

And, most importantly, daily care will be provided, because the daily care and cleansing of products that match your skin type, lifestyle, age and condition is more important than any treatment that any medical spa can provide.
