Most of us treat our skin based on what we think we see rather than what is actually happening beneath the surface. You might think your skin is dry when it is actually dehydrated. You might think those spots are freckles when they are actually deep sun damage waiting to surface.
This is why we use VISIA. At Serenity Hill Aesthetics, we believe you deserve clarity. VISIA skin analysis is not just a fancy photo. It is a comprehensive look at your current skin health and a glimpse into your future aging process. It changes the way we approach everything from daily cleansers to Dermal Fillers.
What Is VISIA Skin Analysis?
VISIA skin analysis is an advanced skin imaging technology that captures detailed images of your skin’s surface and subsurface. It does not just look at you. It sees through the layers. This system uses multi-spectral imaging to read the unique story of your face. It scans for critical markers that tell us exactly how your skin is aging and what it needs to thrive.
When you come in for a consultation at Serenity Hill Aesthetics, we do not just look at your face under a magnifying lamp. We use this data to build a scientifically backed, uniquely yours plan.
What Will The Analysis Tell Us?
The VISIA skin assessment evaluates eight specific characteristics that determine the overall health and appearance of your complexion.
1. Spots
These are typically brown or red skin lesions, including freckles, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and vascular lesions. They are distinct by their color and contrast with the background skin tone. VISIA spots are often the things you are already trying to cover with concealer.
2. Wrinkles
We all know what wrinkles are, but VISIA sees them differently. It tracks furrows, folds, and creases that are visible now, as well as fine lines that are just beginning to form. This allows us to treat a wrinkle before it becomes a deep-set crease.
3. Texture
Texture analysis is primarily about the smoothness of your skin. VISIA measures the peaks and valleys on the skin surface. If your texture score is low, it indicates significant variations, which usually indicates a need for exfoliation or hydration.
4. Pores
Everyone obsesses over their pores. VISIA distinguishes pores from spots based on their darker color and circular shape. By analyzing their size and distribution, we can determine if your current cleansing routine is effective or if you need treatments to refine the skin surface.
5. UV Spots
This is often the most shocking part of the skin condition analysis. UV spots occur when melanin coagulates below the skin surface due to sun damage. They are usually invisible under normal light. Seeing them on the screen is a powerful motivator to wear sunscreen every single day.
6. Brown Spots
Brown spots are deeper pigment issues, such as melasma or age spots. They occur deep within the skin layers. Identifying these early allows us to use targeted brighteners or lasers to break up the pigment before it becomes a permanent fixture on your face.
7. Red Areas
Red areas represent a variety of conditions, including acne, inflammation, rosacea, and spider veins. The blood vessels and hemoglobin contained in the papillary dermis give these structures their red color. This helps us identify sensitivity that you might not even feel yet.
8. Porphyrins
This measures bacteria lodging in your pores. Porphyrins are bacterial excretions that can become lodged in pores and lead to acne. If your score here is high, it gives us a clear directive to change your cleansing protocol or introduce specific anti-bacterial treatments.
How Data Improves Your Facial Treatments
Once we have your VISIA scan, we stop guessing about which facial is right for you. Many people book Facials because they want to relax. While relaxation is a huge benefit, the primary goal of our Facial Treatments in Wichita Falls, TX is to improve the health of your skin.
Without a personalized skin analysis, a facial is just a nice wash. With the analysis, it becomes a targeted treatment.
- If your scan shows high porphyrins, we focus on deep cleansing and extractions, often adding blue light or salicylic acid masks to target bacteria.
- A rough texture score means skipping gentle enzymes and choosing more vigorous exfoliation to smooth uneven areas.
- When dehydration and fine lines show up, hydration and barrier repair take priority, with hyaluronic acid serums to plump the skin right away.
The data allows us to select the exact serums, masks, and modalities that will move the needle for your specific concerns. You are not just getting a generic “glow” facial. You are receiving a medical-grade intervention tailored to your specific metrics.
Planning Injectables with Precision
Dermal Fillers are an incredible tool for restoring volume and smoothing deep lines. However, the best results come from careful planning. VISIA acts as a blueprint for these treatments.
When you seek Dermal Fillers in Wichita, TX, you want natural results. You want to look like a refreshed version of yourself. Over time, our faces lose volume due to decreased collagen and bone density. This leads to hollowing in the cheeks, sagging along the jawline, and thinning lips.
The imaging helps us show you exactly where that volume loss is occurring. It allows us to track the structural changes in your face over time. Instead of just filling a line, we can see the surrounding tissue quality and structural support.
Why Prevention is Better Than Correction
VISIA is fantastic for correcting current issues, but it is even better for prevention. The software’s simulation capabilities can age your face to show what you will look like in five to seven years if you do nothing.
If the simulation shows that your current level of sun damage will lead to deep pigmentation in five years, you can start aggressive protection today to change that future. If it shows that your fine lines are likely to deepen rapidly, we can start with preventative “baby botox” or light Dermal Fillers to support the skin’s structure before deep creases form.
It is always easier and more affordable to prevent skin damage than it is to fix it later. VISIA skin assessment gives you the foresight to make smart decisions today.
