01
Spots
Brown or red marks that contrast with the surrounding tone — freckles, lentigines, acne scarring and vascular lesions, generally visible to the eye.

VISIA complexion analysis.
A multi-spectral photograph of your skin — surface and below. In a few quiet minutes our seventh-generation VISIA records eight separate dimensions of your complexion, grades each against the world's largest skin database, and shows you something a mirror never will: how your skin is really doing, and how it could look with care.

What it measures
Eight dimensions of a single complexion.
02
Wrinkles
Furrows, folds and creases. Their depth tracks the decline of skin elasticity and accumulated sun exposure over the years.
Standard light
03
Texture
Smoothness, read as a relief map of peaks and valleys — raised areas and indentations that describe how even the surface truly is.
Standard light
04
Pores
The circular openings of sweat and oil ducts. VISIA separates pores from spots by size; dense clusters can point to oilier, acne-prone skin.
Standard light
05
UV spots
Melanin coagulated below the surface by sun exposure — usually invisible in normal light. UV imaging brings this hidden="hidden" sun damage forward.
UV light
06
Brown spots
Concentrations of melanin on and beneath the surface — hyperpigmentation, lentigines and melasma — isolated by the brown channel of RBX.
Cross-polarised · RBX
07
Red areas
Hemoglobin and vessels in the papillary dermis — the signature of rosacea, inflammation, acne and spider veins, read through the red channel.
Cross-polarised · RBX
08
Porphyrins
Bacterial by-products lodged in the pores that can drive breakouts. Under UV fluorescence they glow, making them simple to locate.
UV fluorescence
The mechanism
Three lights, read at three depths.
A single ordinary photograph sees only the surface. VISIA captures your face under three different lighting modes through one registered camera position — each wavelength interacting with the skin at a different depth, and together describing it from surface to sub-surface.
Depth · Surface
Standard light
Canfield's IntelliFlash delivers an even, repeatable white-light exposure that records the surface of the skin with clinical consistency.
Reveals spots, wrinkles, texture & pores
Depth · Sub-surface
Cross-polarised
Polarising filters cancel surface glare so the camera sees just beneath the skin — the layer where redness, vessels and pigment actually live.
Reveals red areas & brown pigment
Depth · Deepest
Ultraviolet
UV is absorbed by melanin below the surface and causes pore bacteria to fluoresce — exposing sun damage and porphyrins long before the eye can.

Canfield RBX® Technology
Separating red from brown.
Most discoloration is a tangle of two distinct signals. RBX is the patented step that mathematically pulls the captured image apart into its true red and brown signatures — so vascular concerns and pigment concerns can each be seen, and treated, on their own terms.
Red channelHemoglobin & vessels — rosacea, inflammation, spider veins.
Brown channelMelanin — hyperpigmentation, lentigines, melasma.
What you receive
A score for your skin, and a second age.
VISIA's analysis is comparative. Each feature is graded against a vast database of people of the same age, sex and skin type, then expressed as a percentile — so a number finally means something.
- PercentileA score relative to your peers. 50% is the average for your group; a higher score means fewer concerns than most.
- TruSkin Age®An estimate of your skin's age drawn from the same database — which may sit above or below your calendar age.
- On recordStandardised images from front, left and right, registered for precise side-by-side comparison over time.
In the room
Calm, quick, and entirely on the surface.
You rest your chin in the booth and close your eyes. Nothing touches the skin but standardised light, and in a few minutes the capture is complete — front, left and right, under each of the three lighting modes.
Then the better part: your specialist sits beside you and reads the results together — what the maps show, what your scores mean, and the gentlest, clearest way forward.
Frequently asked
Questions our patients actually ask.
Is the analysis uncomfortable?
Not at all. VISIA is a camera — nothing touches the skin but standardised light. There is no heat, no contact and no downtime. You rest your chin in the booth, close your eyes, and it is over in a few minutes.
How should I prepare?
Arrive with clean skin where possible, or allow a few minutes to remove makeup and sunscreen on site. Both alter how light reads pigment and redness, so a bare face gives the truest measurement.
What does the TruSkin Age mean?
It is an estimate of how old your facial skin appears relative to a large database of others your age, based on the same eight features. It can read younger or older than your calendar age, and is best understood as a starting line to improve upon — not a verdict.
Can it really show how I'll age?
It shows a realistic simulation, drawn from a very large database of real skin, of how features like sun spots and wrinkles tend to progress. It isn't a fixed prediction — it's a helpful, motivating picture of where things may head, and how much sun protection and care can soften that path.
Is VISIA a medical diagnosis?
No. It is a complexion-analysis and documentation tool that guides cosmetic planning and tracks change. It does not diagnose skin disease. Any genuine medical concern is referred to the appropriate specialist.
How reliable are the numbers?
Because capture is standardised and the head is registered the same way each time, results are highly reproducible — which is precisely what makes honest before-and-after comparison possible across months.
How often should it be repeated?
Typically at the start of a program and then every three to six months. Each capture overlays cleanly on the last, so progress is shown rather than described.
A few honest notes
·
VISIA analyses and documents the complexion. It is not a diagnosis of skin disease.
·
Scores are comparative and individual — they describe your skin against its peer group, not a pass or fail.
·
Clean, product-free skin gives the most accurate reading; makeup and SPF can shift the result.
·
The analysis informs a plan that is always set with a licensed Beauté Concept specialist.
