VISIA® SCANS – KNOWING THE ISSUES BEFORE TREATMENT STARTS

You certainly would not get yourself admitted to hospital just on the premise of having an operation, without knowing the facts about what it is that is wrong with you, why you need the operation, and how it will affect you. Hospitals use X-rays, ultrasounds, and varying computer scanning technologies to fully examine and understand your body and its illness.

Just so, when contemplating certain aesthetic facial treatments, a little knowledge goes a long way. Simply visual examination is not always enough, and with modern technology, more detailed information about your skin and its problems can be had with a simple, painless procedure.

A few aesthetic clinics in South Africa offer a pre-treatment scan of the face, which will make a digital analysis, and capture important information for key areas related to your complexion health and appearance, such as spots, sun damage, wrinkles skin texture and colour.

The Melrose Aesthetic Centre is one such establishment, and uses the Visia® Complexion Analysis System which produces and stores consistent, repeatable, perfectly registered facial images and motivates you, the patient, with the excitement of 3D visual tools, side-by-side comparisons, and quantitative analysis. It allows your specialist to develop more targeted treatment programs, track progress over time, and stay connected with you as you consider the possibilities of aesthetic procedures.

What is a Visia® Scan?

The VISIA® Complexion Analysis System can best be described as an intelligent imaging technology using 3 dimensional pictures which the naked eye is unable to see. It combines both advanced software specially developed for the purpose, as well as computerized photographic hardware. The images it captures reveal the deeper cellular levels of the skin, and show any skin problems or subcutaneous issues, and allows the specialist to create a personalized skincare programme for each individual.

The Melrose Aesthetic Centre uses the Visia® Scan before treatments involving skin issues such as those related to related to pigmentation (Melasma), sun damage, acne scarring treatments and PRF(Platelet Rich Fibrin) development.

How is it done?

The Visia Scan® takes just a few minutes, and involves you holding your head inside a small photographic booth, while the computerized imaging takes place. When the images are completed, an experienced aesthetic consultant will analyse and examine them to determine which area needs to be addressed, and copies can be printed for your own personal records if required.

What are the benefits?

Having a Visia Scan, and so knowing the issues before treatment starts, allows you and your specialist to understand your skin’s particular requirements.

This forms a base on which to build any aesthetic treatments you may want to have then, or in the future, and allows the monitoring of the results of treatments to ensure the best outcomes are being achieved.

This is your chance to empower yourself, and uncover the truth about your skin. Not only will you get a detailed skin analysis from a trained natural skin care expert, but allows you to not only keep a track of the effectiveness of the aesthetic treatments, but also allows you, with follow up scans, to see how the skincare products you use are working on your skin.
