A VISIA Skin Analysis is a medical-grade evaluation of your skin that uses RBX technology to detect the unique color signatures of Red and Brown skin components to evaluate each aspect independently.1 The red areas are a result of damage to your skin’s underlying tissues. The results of the evaluation can highlight the damage that the human eye cannot detect. Using a three-dimensional image of the face, the VISIA can detect both obvious and hidden signs of aging like spider veins and hyperpigmentation, as well as the presence of skin discoloration and inflammation.

VISIA Skin Analysis is a facial diagnostic test that measures pores. Pores are openings for the ducts that carry oil up from the skin and can become clogged. When pores become clogged, acne and blackheads can develop. Studio 17’s VISIA measures the size of your pores to know if this is an area of concern that we can recommend skin care and treatments to reduce pore size.

The VISIA Skin Analysis measures the degree of sun damage deep within your skin. The device measures the number of UV spots on your skin, which represent the cumulative damage you’ve experienced from the sun. If you have a low UV spot number, it’s likely you’ve had less UV exposure in your life or have been diligent with your sunscreen. The higher the UV spot number, the more damaged your skin is. The good news is that our medspa Studio 17 Cosmetics & Wellness has products and treatment options that can reverse these signs of sun damage and aging skin.

The VISIA Skin Analysis determines the skin’s levels of the bacterial component known as porphyrins. Porphyrins are an indication of clogged pores and the potential for acne to develop. These substances can also contribute to the appearance of other skin conditions. The VISIA can tell you if you’re experiencing these problems and if it would be best to schedule treatments to reduce your porphyrin count.

The VISIA Skin Analysis takes pictures of your facial skin using cross-polarized, UV and IntelliFlash® lighting. The device measures the appearance and health of your skin at the surface as well as the deeper levels. VISIA’s unique technology measures multiple forms of skin damage in comparison to your skin type and age, so you know what to focus on if you want your skin to appear healthy and youthful.
