Visia®

What is VISIA®?

Like a magic mirror that shows you exactly what is going on with your skin, the Visia® leading skin analysis system can help guide your tweakment decisions and get you even better results.

The technology – which is trusted by leading skincare professionals worldwide – uses specialised cameras to capture images of not just your skin’s surface but also the deeper layers. Those images are then automatically analysed for key indicators of skin health, including wrinkles, pores, texture, pigmentation and redness, giving you a much deeper insight into your skin’s appearance than your eyes alone can show.

All this data can help your practitioner craft a treatment plan, while also providing the basis for in-depth before-and-after photograph comparisons to show you how far your skin has improved over time, using data not just opinions.

So, whether you’re considering toxin injections to soften lines, a laser treatment to tackle pigmentation, or simply want to get a clearer picture of your overall skin health, here’s everything you need to know about how VISIA skin imaging technology can benefit you…

How does VISIA work?

Unlike traditional skin assessments, which rely on visual examination alone, VISIA uses multi-spectral imaging and data-driven analysis to create a full, detailed picture of your skin.

During the scan, the VISIA machine rotates around your face and captures high-resolution images at three angles and under different lighting conditions, including standard, cross-polarised and UV light. This allows the technology to assess skin concerns that may not even be visible to the naked eye, revealing things like sun damage, fine lines, redness, visible pores, and showing where the early signs of ageing might be taking place.

VISIA then instantly compares your skin to a vast database of images from people with similar skin types, ages, and gender. This gives you your ‘TrueSkin Age®’ and a detailed analysis of which skin health attributes – from wrinkles to texture – should potentially be addressed. Your practitioner can then easily suggest the best treatments for your skin.

What skin concerns can VISIA show?

VISIA can reveal and ‘score’ all the main skin concerns we tend to talk about including:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles– Evaluates the depth and severity of lines and detects even the earliest signs of ageing.
  • Pores – accesses the visibility and size of pores.
  • Skin texture– Identifies rough, uneven skin.
  • Pigmentation and sun damage– Detects age spots, hyperpigmentation, and melasma. Also reveals sun damage not yet visible on the skin’s surface.
  • Redness and vascular conditions– Spots broken capillaries and rosacea.
  • Spots – Highlights areas prone to acne and congestion.
  • Overall skin health

Why We Recommend Visia®


Alice Hart-Davis
Founder, The Tweakments Guide

Knowledge really is power when it comes to tweakments and VISIA empowers both patients and practitioners to make more informed (and therefore effective) treatment decisions. It’s not just about guessing or following trends: VISIA’s technology can give you a clear picture of what your skin is like and what you could potentially try to get the very best improvements.

VISIA Benefits: How can VISIA supercharge your aesthetic consultations?

VISIA can take your consultations to a whole new level because, instead of relying solely on what you think you see in the mirror, the technology gives both you and your practitioner a clear, detailed snapshot of your skin’s appearance and how to improve it.

The best part is that VISIA makes skin issues visible in a way that’s easy to understand, helping you make more informed decisions about the best aesthetic treatments for you.

VISIA Benefits: How can VISIA predict your future skin concerns?

We think we know our faces pretty well, after all, we look at them every day, but what about the damage you can’t yet see? One of the biggest advantages of VISIA is its ability to detect underlying issues before they become visible. For example, early signs of pigmentation and vascularity (redness) that only VISIA’s analysis can spot in advance.

It can also help monitor the condition of your skin in a way that traditional skin checks just can’t match. For example, if you’re noticing some uneven pigmentation, VISIA will not only show you where they are but can also show how deep the pigmentation goes, allowing your practitioner to pick the best treatment.

 

VISIA Benefits: How can VISIA help you track your results?

If you’re investing in tweakments, you obviously want to see real, measurable improvements – and VISIA can give you visual proof that the time and effort you’re putting into your treatments is paying off (or not!).

All images taken on the VISIA – from initial consultation to your final treatment – are stored securely together on the system, meaning you can track your skin’s improvements over time and, most importantly, see side-by-side comparisons.

Not only that but VISIA provides measurable data that quantifies how much your skin has improved by too, comparing your skin’s initial baseline for pigmentation, wrinkles and texture to your current score. This helps you understand what’s going on with your skin in a way that a typical consultation might not – especially when the changes are subtle – and gives you the confidence that a treatment plan is either working or needs a small tweak to see the best results.

How can VISIA benefit practitioners?

VISIA isn’t just beneficial for those of us seeking treatments – it’s great for practitioners too. Armed with the breadth of information that the technology gives them, practitioners can create more targeted, personalised treatment plans. This can help them achieve better results, leading to higher patient satisfaction.

VISIA also gives practitioners an objective and highly detailed look at your skin, adding an important element of transparency to consultations. By showing patients exactly what’s going on in a scientific way, practitioners don’t have to rely on subjective opinions, strengthening the patient-practitioner relationship and helping manage expectations. Additionally, VISIA’s comprehensive reports allow practitioners to keep track of their patients’ long-term skin health, ensuring that treatment recommendations stay in sync with their evolving needs.


What is Visia® used to treat


Who is best suited for VISIA?

VISIA really is for anyone who is embarking on a skin health or aesthetics journey – whatever your age, skin type or tone – as it is all about helping you be more informed.

It’s especially useful for first-time clients looking for guidance; people with pigmentation, redness, or acne concerns who want to track their progress; and anyone wanting evidence-based skincare recommendation to main glowing, healthy skin as they age. Even if you’re not sure what treatments are right for you, VISIA can give you the insight needed to make the best decisions.

How does a VISIA consultation work?

The beauty of VISIA is that it’s quick, easy, and non-invasive. In fact, the entire process usually only takes about 10-20 minutes.

The experience begins with a discussion about your skin concerns and aesthetic goals (like any good consultation). Then, you’ll place your face into the VISIA, which is as simple as putting your chin and forehead against the rests, and the technology will capture your multiple high-resolution images. The process is completely painless – you just sense some light flashes when your eyes are closed – and it doesn’t require any preparation aside from having a clean face and wearing a headband to keep stray strands away.

Once the images are captured, the system instantly analyses them, generating a skin ‘score’ for all your main concerns, such as wrinkles or pigmentation, in comparison to a massive database. That way you can understand how your skin is performing relative to your peers. The technology also physically highlights areas of wrinkles, pigmentation, redness etc. so they are easy to see, and the quick turnaround means you don’t have to spend ages in the clinic; you can move straight from the scan to a discussion about your treatment options.

How accurate is VISIA?

As technology goes, VISIA is an accurate and objective way to capture and analyse your skin. It can standardise before-and-after photographs better than a camera phone, and it is one of the most trusted tools for professional skin analysis.

How much does VISIA cost?

Many clinics offer VISIA scans as part of their initial consultation, often at no extra cost, so it depends on the location you visit. If it is a separate cost, on average you can expect to pay around £30-60.

Who Created VISIA?

VISIA was created by Canfield Scientific, Inc, a company with over 30 years of experience in developing imaging and diagnostic tools for both the medical and aesthetic fields. VISIA is one of its flagship innovations, and it continues to evolve to offer even more advanced features and capabilities to practitioners and patients alike.
