MEDI-SCULPT SEPTEMBER 2013 NEWSLETTER : VISIA SCAN
MEDI-SCULPT SEPTEMBER 2013 NEWSLETTER : VISIA SCAN
This month I am excited to tell you all there is to know about our VISIA device. If you have been to our Medi-Sculpt rooms before you might have enjoyed all the wonderful things it offers.
If so, then please let us know on the Facebook page.
If you visit our Medi-Sculpt practices, you will be able to enjoy a complimentary facial scan that will determine the condition of your skin. The system will assess your skin for:
- Wrinkles
- Sun damage
- Open pores
- Texture
- Spots
Our VISIA skin analysis is a wonderful way to find out what your skin looks like from the inside and in turn fix or even prevent further damage. Indeed, the complexion analysis report advises on the appropriate treatment to be followed to improve your skin from deep within.
Visia™ Skin Analysis 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.
This means treatments better suited to your skin and skin condition, plus more accurate products for your home care regime to enhance the results.
Visit www.medisculpt.co.za for all the treatment information and prices.
Why our patients love it!
VISIA™ helps us look at a patient’s skin strengths and weaknesses and analyse opportunities for improvement. VISIA™ scans your skin and measures your skin pigmentation, pore size, porphyrins (evidence of bacteria lodged in pores, which may lead to acne), UV spots, sun damage, texture, and wrinkles. With this quantitative assessment of your skin, we can then compare your relative skin condition within your peer group. We then develop more targeted treatment programs and we can track progress and treatment outcomes over time.
A VISIA Complexion Analysis is an eye-opening, objective analysis of skin health. It blows our patients’ minds that the different components that affect the appearance of their skin can be objectively measured with spectral analysis.
The VISIA Skin Analysis really helps our clients to “see themselves as they really are” so that they can more accurately explain the improvements that they are seeking. In turn Dr Reddy can look more realistically at whether she can help them achieve any desired changes in the contour of their face or improvement in the quality and health of their skin.
The great thing about the Visia™ Skin Analysis is that it grades each patient’s skin features relative to others of the same age and skin type. Based on the complexion profile, the client’s facial rejuvenation program can also include optimized recommendations for ongoing skin care health.

An additional benefit for both the patient and Dr Reddy is that continued visits mean continued Visia scans. This means you can track your skin progress and anti-ageing regime for effectiveness.
So how does Visia work?
A VISIA™ imaging session combines state-of-the-art multi-spectral imaging and computer-generated imagery with digital photos. First, you cleanse your face, then you sit right next to a computer screen as a nearby digital camera snaps 6 photos of your face in about a minute. The VISIA™ computer system then analyzes your skin for six conditions – sun spots, pore size, porphyrins (a chemical footprint of acne), wrinkles, unevenness of skin tone and ultraviolet (UV) sun damage.
The VISIA’s special Lamp devices use ultraviolet light emitted at 320-400 nm in order to detect pigmented cells by its fluorescence, which highlights them. This will help us map out the surface and deeper layers of the skin.
Visia Scans show sun damage and pigmentation problems!
What you need to know is that unpigmented skin reflects ultraviolet strongly, whereas melanin absorbs it heavily resulting in dark brown spots under the light. Slight changes in pigment of the skin show more clearly under ultraviolet light.
Visia Scans highlight Vitiligo.
Vitiligo or no pigment will come up as completely white under the skin scope. The severity of skin occupation with bacteria can be detected by the presence of yellow or pink fluorescence.
What happens after the Visia Scan?!
Make your treatment decisions easier!
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.
This state-of-the-art device creates a digital read-out of your skin’s health and condition. Following your personalized VISIA™ skin analysis, your skin is graded relative to others of the same sex, age and ethnicity. After the analysis, six digital images appear on the computer screen with scores. An individualized report with your results is provided which will give us insight into treatment options. Educated with this information, our skin care professionals can create a customized skin care plan designed based on your specific complexion. Once you’ve completed your treatments, you’ll be able to view “before” and “after” pictures that show visible results.
We incorporate the VISIA analysis right at the beginning so we can set objective metrics to measure the success of the treatment programs we propose. It only takes about 20 seconds to complete a scan. Patients are often surprised by the results because it makes them see their skin in an entirely new way. But, they love that we can propose and proceed with a treatment path, re-scan, and judge the success of the treatment in a purely objective manner.
You might need a Botulinum toxin or dermal filler treatment, or maybe a chemical peel. Some patients with really good skin simply need some advanced homecare and sunscreen.
Something else we particularly love is that each and every client who is imaged with Visia can also receive a printed skin analysis report to take home. The Visia™ reports include analysis results and treatment recommendations from the client’s skin care professional.
It is the best way of making sure that you are giving your skin the care it deserves at home!
