Allure Magazine features revolutionary VISIA™ Complexion Analysis System available at Reveal MedSpa™
McLean, VA (May 2006) - What you see isn't always what you get… at least when it comes to skin damage. That's the basis of Allure Magazine's "Sun & Skin S.O.S.", a new article that features six women's UV portraits using the VISIA™ Complexion Analysis System currently available at Reveal MedSpa™.
A breakthrough in skin technology, VISIA™ captures photographs of sun damage (and other skin issues) that are invisible to the naked eye. The results, which aren't always pretty, are a good indication of how skin will eventually show the signs of aging.
The VISIA™ Complexion Analysis System makes it possible (for the first time) to scan the skin and record surface and subsurface conditions including wrinkles, spots (pigmentation), pores, evenness (color variation in the skin tone), porphyrins (evidence of bacteria in pores) and UV spots (characteristic of photodamage, typically from overexposure to sun).
Using multi-spectral digital analysis, the system enables Reveal's skincare professionals to design customized rejuvenation and skincare programs to more accurately and effectively address each client's complexion issues. The imaging system is then used to monitor the effectiveness of skin treatments and regimens over time, so that clients can actually track the changes in their skin by more than what they see in the mirror.
"Reveal™ is committed to personal client care," said Sally Amoruso, President of Reveal MedSpa™. "By offering the VISIA™ Complexion Analysis System as a complimentary service, we're now able to take an even more comprehensive approach to evaluating each individual client's needs and unique skin challenges."
A quick and painless process, the digital image is recorded under natural as well as ultra-violet light. The image is then analyzed using an advanced computer program first developed by Proctor & Gamble as a skincare research tool. The images and analysis are stored in a secure hard drive where they can be accessed as needed for comparison. Clients receive the printed report, complete with full-color images and Reveal's recommendations for rejuvenation and ongoing skincare. Clients are also provided with a comparison of their complexion characteristics to those of others of the same age and ethnicity.
