What’s New in VISIA

VISIA® Complexion Analysis brings new dimension to skin care -- New technology uses multi-spectral imaging and analysis to score complexion health for optimal skin care

Software release 5.0 greatly enhances the functionality of VISIA and allows skin care professionals to provide more visually powerful, treatment oriented communications to their clients.

3 dimensional viewing

• Select an area of the skin. View in 3D.
• Display selected area in natural color, grayscale, or "heatmap" views (shown).
• Rotate the selection on any axis for a closer look at surface details.

Automatic masking

VISIA software automatically identifies the critical facial areas for analysis, and draws the analysis boundary. This assures optimal and consistent feature analysis by eliminating operator variables, while speeding and simplifying the consultation.

Product recommendations

VISIA software now allows the user to select from an extensive library of skin care products and treatments, and display descriptive notes with product images on the printed client report.

VISIA® Complexion Analysis, the first skin care photographic imaging tool that provides clinical measurement of surface and subsurface facial skin conditions, is changing the face of professional skin care.

"VISIA is a new technology that makes it possible for a client to receive facial rejuvenation and skin care treatments designed specifically for their unique complexion profile," said Jim Larkey, VISIA product manager for Canfield Imaging Systems.

Developed by Procter & Gamble and Canfield Imaging Systems, VISIA systems are now in worldwide use by cosmetic surgeons, dermatologists, and other medical and skin care professionals.

The VISIA Complexion Analysis System is a self-contained unit that captures multi-spectral photos of the face, examining the complexion for wrinkles, spots, pores, texture (color variation in the skin tone), porphyrins (evidence of bacteria in pores),and UV spots (characteristic of photodamage, typically from overexposure to sun).

Additionally, VISIA grades an individual’s skin features relative to others of the same age and skin type.

VISIA imaging and analysis helps medical and skin care professionals develop more targeted treatment programs, communicate more effectively with clients, and better track treatment outcomes.

"The VISIA system measures skin features that previously could only be evaluated subjectively," Larkey said, "providing the capability to provide facial rejuvenation and skin care matched to each person’s unique complexion profile."

By objectively establishing skin condition, VISIA’s comprehensive measurement of a client’s standard and UV photos makes it very easy for the client to see and understand exactly what is being discussed regarding skin renewal treatment options.

Based on the complexion profile, the client’s facial rejuvenation program can also include optimized recommendations for ongoing skin care health, with VISIA imaging as an invaluable aid in monitoring complexion vitality and checking effectiveness of the skin care regimen over time.

"Every client who is imaged with VISIA can also receive a printed skin analysis report to take home," Larkey said. The VISIA reports include analysis results and treatment recommendations from the client’s skin care professional.

With ever-growing interest in antiaging and lifestyle-driven procedures, VISIA Complexion Analysis is a valuable new tool for use by medical and skin care professionals in working with clients to provide advanced skin care treatments to enhance complexion vitality and appearance.
