Find the Best Med Spa Treatments for Your Skin with VISIA Skin Analysis
Women typically begin to notice subtle changes in their skin after the age of thirty – including fine lines, changes in pigmentation, increased redness, and loss of elasticity. And, unfortunately, these issue only progress with age.
These issues are primarily the result of damage to the skin caused by sun exposure, gravity, stress, toxins (like cigarette smoke), and environmental factors. Couple this with the fact that aging, hormone decline, and reduced collagen and elastin production means that the skin no longer repairs itself and “bounces back” like it once did.
But, because this skin damage occurs on a deep cellular level, it can often be hard to “see” the damage until it is too late! Fortunately, a revolutionary new computerized skin analysis system called VISIA is available at SpaMedica in Grand Rapids.
VISIA skin analysis enables you “see” cellular skin damage – so you can determine the best skin care treatments to target your unique skin damage issues BEFORE it’s too late!
How VISIA Skin Analysis Helps You Choose the Best Med Spa Treatments
The skin damage that occurs with age can result in wrinkles, fine lines, uneven texture, age spots / brown spots, melanin production / hyperpigmentation, enlarged pores, porphyrins (substance that causes skin discoloration), and blood vessels / redness.
VISIA Skin Analysis uses cross-polarized and UV photography to record and measure surface and subsurface skin conditions with advanced software and “AI” technology. Based on the patient’s specific data points, age and skin type, the results are compared to the world’s largest database of skin conditions, utilizing VISIA’s patented software analysis.
At our Grand Rapids, MI area Med Spa, the VISIA process only takes a few minutes. A personalized report is printed, and our aesthetician will thoroughly explain the results and recommend the best skin care products and med spa treatments based on your analysis.
8 Types of Skin Damage VISIA® Skin Analysis Detects
There are 8 different types of skin damage that VISIA® Skin Analysis can detect. This enables you to see what’s going on with your skin on a cellular level – so you can select the best anti aging and other med spa treatments for your individual skin.
#1. Wrinkles & Line Skin Analysis
Each person’s unique facial expressions create wrinkles and lines that are individual to to them. Heredity along with the amount of sun exposure, can affect when and where lines, creases and folds will appear, over time.
#2. Dark Spots Skin Analysis
Acne scars, vascular lesions, hyper-pigmentation and even freckles will vary by size and location – but are all considered a form of skin damage. VISIA precisely locates this skin damage for optimal treatment(s).
#3. UV Damage Skin Analysis
UV sun damage leads to concentrated areas of melanin below the skin called UV spots – which aren’t visible under normal lighting. But VISIA® Skin Analysis conducted in our Grand Rapids Med Spa can detect UV these “invisible” areas of sun damage by measuring the skin’s selective absorption of UV light.
#4. Melanin Production Skin Analysis
VISIA® Skin Analysis detects areas of too much pigmentation including lentigines, melasma, hyper-pigmentation and even freckles. Melanocytes are the cells that produce melanin in the lowest layer of the skin’s epidermis – and excessive production can result in brown spots developing with age.
#5. Redness Skin Analysis
VISIA® Skin Analysis also detects red areas in the skin’s “papillary dermis” – which is the sub-layer that contains the hemoglobin and blood vessels that cause redness. Identifiable redness causing conditions include fine spider veins with dense interconnected networks; acne spots; and rosacea.
#6. Pore Identification Skin Analysis
VISIA® Skin Analysis is in our Grand Rapids Med Spa can compare the pores’ shape, size and definition to the rest of the skin. Enlarged pores will appear darker and circular in shape – and can be breading grounds for bacteria that can cause skin damage.
#7. Skin Texture Analysis
VISIA® Skin Analysis measures the skin’s texture in terms of the “peaks and valleys” on its surface. Raised and depressed areas can be identified that indicate the formation of lines, wrinkles and uneven skin texture.
#8. Skin Analysis of Acne Causes
Porphyrins are the unseen bacteria that is most often associated with blocked pores and acne. These circular white spots become fluorescent when viewed by VISIA’s UV photography – so they can be identified and properly treated.
