VISIA Skin Analysis is a skin imaging system widely used in dermatology clinics and aesthetic centers. At our affiliated clinic, this advanced device captures high-resolution facial images using specialized lighting techniques and then performs an in-depth analysis of both the skin’s surface and underlying layers. It is designed to evaluate a wide range of skin characteristics, including skin spots, skin pigmentation, pores, fine lines, wrinkles, skin redness, skin texture, inflammation, as well as porphyrin substances produced by bacteria that cause acne. Additionally, it estimates the skin’s biological age and compares it against a large database matched by age group and skin type, offering a comprehensive view of skin health.

Unlike ordinary photographs or visual examinations, VISIA goes beyond what is visible to the naked eye. It can detect early signs of damage that have not yet surfaced, such as sun exposure effects or acne triggers beneath the skin. This predictive ability makes it an essential tool for building personalized skin care and treatment strategies. The analysis also serves as a valuable reference point for tracking changes in skin condition over time, particularly before and after cosmetic procedures. VISIA Skin Analysis helps the doctor at our affiliated clinic clearly see hidden skin problems, making it a reliable tool for planning and tracking long-term skin treatment progress.

VISIA Skin Analysis begins with gently positioning the patient’s face within the device’s imaging frame to ensure correct alignment and reproducibility. Once properly positioned, the machine captures a series of detailed facial photographs using three types of lighting which are standard white light for capturing surface-level details, cross-polarized light to assess redness and sub-surface issues, and ultraviolet (UV) light to reveal hidden skin damage and bacterial activity such as porphyrins. Each type of light highlights different skin conditions, allowing for a complete and layered view of the skin.

After image capture, the system performs a detailed analysis of multiple skin features such as wrinkles, texture, enlarged pores, pigmentation, UV spots, and inflammation. The results are then compared to a large reference database based on similar age and skin type, offering a benchmark of how the skin condition ranks within the group. This analysis not only uncovers existing skin issues but also reveals early signs of damage that may not yet be visible. As a result, it supports personalized treatment recommendations, helps prevent future skin concerns, and offers a reliable way to measure improvements over time.
