VISIA® Skin Analysis System
Scientific Complexion Mapping & Targeted Skincare Diagnostics
Overview
The VISIA® Complexion Analysis System is an advanced imaging tool that captures high-resolution, multispectral photos of the skin from multiple angles. Using cross-polarized, UV, and parallel-polarized light, VISIA evaluates both surface and subsurface skin conditions that may not be visible to the naked eye. The system generates a detailed report measuring wrinkles, spots, pores, texture, porphyrins (bacterial activity), UV spots, and brown spots, comparing your results to peers of the same age and skin type. This objective data helps our providers design personalized treatment plans and track measurable progress over time.
What It Detects
- Surface & Subsurface UV Sun Damage
- Brown Spots & Hyperpigmentation
- Wrinkle Depth & Distribution
- Pore Size & Congestion
- Skin Texture & Smoothness

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens during a VISIA® Skin Analysis?
You'll place your chin comfortably in the VISIA® imaging booth while the system captures high-speed multispectral photos of your face from three angles. The entire process takes only a few minutes and is completely painless. Within moments, the software generates a comprehensive skin report that your provider reviews with you in detail.
How does VISIA® see what the naked eye can't?
VISIA® uses three types of lighting—cross-polarized, UV, and parallel-polarized—to capture both surface and subsurface skin conditions. UV light reveals sun damage and pigmentation hidden beneath the skin's surface, while cross-polarized imaging highlights vascular concerns and redness. This allows your provider to identify concerns before they become visible.
What skin conditions does VISIA® analyze?
VISIA® evaluates wrinkles, fine lines, brown spots, UV damage, pores, skin texture, porphyrins (bacterial activity that may contribute to acne), and redness or vascular conditions. Each category is scored and compared to individuals of the same age, gender, and skin type.
Is the VISIA® analysis safe?
Yes. VISIA® uses only controlled, brief flashes of light to capture images. The imaging process is non-invasive, painless, and involves no radiation or harmful UV exposure. It is safe for all skin types and tones.
How long does the analysis take?
The imaging capture itself takes less than a minute. Reviewing the results with your provider typically takes 10 to 15 minutes, depending on how many areas are discussed and what treatment options are explored.
Who is a good candidate for a VISIA® Skin Analysis?
VISIA® is suitable for anyone interested in understanding their skin's current condition more deeply—whether you are beginning a new skincare regimen, planning aesthetic treatments, or simply want to monitor changes over time. It is appropriate for all skin types and tones, and is especially helpful for patients considering laser treatments, chemical peels, or medical-grade skincare.
How often should I have a VISIA® analysis?
Many patients have an initial analysis during their consultation and then repeat it every few months to track progress and measure the results of their treatments. Your provider will recommend a schedule based on your treatment plan and goals.
