Skin Care and Skin Treatments

Advanced Skin Analysis focuses on your current skin health and investigates the underlying causes of skin problems. With the knowledge of how these causes have influenced the skin’s structure, functions, cells, and systems, recommendations can be made to address these problems.

Skin health and skin aging are influenced by intrinsic and extrinsic factors.

Intrinsic factors are genetically programmed, like skin color and type. These factors cannot be changed but help the professional skin care diagnostician understand the risks of treating your skin.

Extrinsic factors are those you have been exposed to every day since the day you were born. They have a direct bearing on the aging process and your skin health, your skin structure, and your skin function, and includes nutrition, medical history, lifestyle habits, and cosmetic history. By understanding how your lifestyle choices influence your skin aging and skin health, you can learn to make different decisions.

An advanced skin analysis consultation will take about an hour to complete and will also discover your preferences, willingness to comply with treatment protocols, and budget.

This will be followed by a tailor-made treatment plan consisting of in-house treatments, eliminating inappropriate therapies and products, and only the necessary home care products to make a difference to your skin.

The computer-controlled Visia ensures that a patient’s facial photography is standardized before, between, and after using products or undergoing treatments.

Visia then analyses the patient’s skin for eight different features, allowing a customized product and treatment recommendation program to address each concern.

At return visits, comparisons can be made to previous sessions to see what improvements have been made and to determine what changes might be necessary.
