VISIA® Skin Analysis
Healthy skin does not happen by chance. It requires careful assessment, clear understanding, and the right strategy.
VISIA® Skin Analysis is the most advanced diagnostic technology available to evaluate your true skin health. Looking beneath the surface, it allows us to identify pigmentation, UV damage, redness, and early ageing changes long before they become obvious.
Rather than relying on subjective opinion, we use objective data to guide precise, personalised treatment planning, ensuring every recommendation has a clear clinical rationale.

Overview
VISIA® Skin Analysis Overview
VISIA® Skin Analysis is an advanced diagnostic tool that supports intelligent skin optimisation. By identifying underlying UV damage, pigmentation patterns, and vascular changes, it allows us to prioritise treatments that will deliver meaningful improvement.
It removes uncertainty and replaces it with data-driven clarity, ensuring every recommendation has a clear clinical rationale.
Choosing VISIA® Skin Analysis
If you are serious about improving your skin, VISIA® Skin Analysis provides the clarity required to invest wisely in treatment. It ensures that laser and light-based therapies are precisely targeted, improving both efficiency and long-term outcomes.
VISIA® Skin Analysis vs. Similar Treatments
A standard consultation relies largely on visual inspection. VISIA® Skin Analysis enhances clinical judgement with measurable data, offering a deeper understanding of both current skin condition and future risk.
It does not replace expert evaluation; it strengthens it.

Step 1: Initial Consultation
We begin by discussing your concerns, skin history, and goals in detail. VISIA® Skin Analysis is then performed to gather objective diagnostic information.

Step 3: Treatment Preparation
If laser treatment is recommended, we provide clear pre-treatment guidance to optimise your skin and ensure safe, effective outcomes.
Step 4: Treatment
Treatment is delivered using advanced medical-grade technology within our Glasgow clinic, targeting the specific concerns identified by VISIA® Skin Analysis.
Step 5: Recovery & Follow-Up
Repeat scans may be performed to objectively measure improvement and refine your ongoing skin optimisation plan.

Common Questions
Is VISIA® Skin Analysis painful or invasive?
No. VISIA® Skin Analysis is completely non-invasive and painless. It involves high-resolution imaging only and requires no recovery time.
Can VISIA® Skin Analysis detect sun damage not yet visible on the surface?
Yes. It identifies underlying UV damage before pigmentation becomes visible, allowing earlier intervention.
Can VISIA® help with acne and congestion assessment?
Yes. The system detects porphyrins associated with acne-causing bacteria, helping guide appropriate treatment planning.
Can VISIA® be used for both cosmetic and medical skin concerns?
Yes. VISIA® Skin Analysis evaluates pigmentation, redness, UV damage and bacterial activity, making it valuable for both aesthetic concerns and medical skin conditions such as acne or rosacea.
Does VISIA® replace a professional skin consultation?
No. It enhances clinical assessment by providing objective data, but expert medical evaluation remains essential.
