Visia Computerized Skin Analysis
VISIA skin analysis uses a multi-spectral imaging system to identify different problem areas of your complexion which allows for a customized skin treatment program. A VISIA imaging session captures key visual information for six areas affecting complexion health and appearance: wrinkles, spots, pores, evenness (color variation in the skin tone), porphyrins (evidence of bacteria in pores), and UV spots (characteristic of photodamage, typically from overexposure to sun).
