Visia Complexion Analysis - Wednesday, May 12, 2010

Have you ever visited a beautician or spa for help improving the look and feel of your skin, but been unsatisfied? Have they described your skin in ways you don't feel is accurate, given explanations for your problem that sound like they were made up on the spot, or proposed solutions that were completely ineffectual or made the problem worse? Do you want a spa that bases its recommendations on a scientific understanding of what's really going on with your skin?

If this is you, then the Centre Yourself Medical Rejuvenation Spa may be the solution to your problem. Among other tools, our skin care professionals utilize Visia Complexion Analysis, an advanced scientific tool by Canfield Scientific, the leaders in medical imaging software, photography, and clinical research imaging systems.

Visia Complexion Analysis gives us the ability to look at your skin using advanced photography in normal and UV light to accurately identify many common skin problems, including:

• Measurement of pore size and depth


• Measurement of wrinkles


• Analysis of birth marks, freckles, sun spots, and age spots, and other pigment variations


• Bacteria count


• Looking for sun damage, including the presence of skin porphyrins, chemicals that increase your skin's potential for sun damage

Once we have analyzed your skin, we can create a detailed report that allows you to see the challenges that must be overcome to get you the healthy, attractive, youthful skin you desire. We will go over this with you and talk about the best skin care solutions to overcome these challenges.

We can also use our Visia Complexion Analysis to track the course of your treatment, confirming what you think you have seen in the mirror and what the compliments of coworkers and friends have long told you: that the treatment is working.
