Tuesday, 14 April 2026 by Dr Alek Nikolic
What-Does-VISIA-Skin-Analysis-Actually-Show
VISIA skin analysis measures seven key parameters: UV spots (subsurface sun damage), brown spots (visible pigmentation), red areas (inflammation and vascular concerns), pores, wrinkles, texture irregularities, and porphyrins (bacterial activity). Each parameter provides objective data that guides personalised treatment planning beyond what visual assessment alone can detect.

Chemical-Peels-vs-Dermapen-Which-Is-Right-for-Post-Summer-Skin
Chemical peels use controlled acid solutions to exfoliate damaged surface layers and correct pigmentation, whilst Dermapen 4 microneedling creates micro-channels to stimulate collagen production and improve texture. The right choice depends on your primary skin concern, downtime tolerance, and VISIA analysis findings during consultation.

Understanding VISIA: The Science Behind Skin Analysis Technology

Tuesday, 14 April 2026 by Dr Alek Nikolic
Understanding-VISIA-The-Science-Behind-Skin-Analysis-Technology
VISIA is a medical-grade facial imaging system that captures high-resolution photographs under multiple light spectrums, including standard, cross-polarised, and UV lighting. This multi-spectral approach reveals subsurface skin conditions invisible to the naked eye, including hidden sun damage, melanin distribution, porphyrins, and vascular patterns, providing objective data for personalised treatment planning.
