Experience the gold standard in advanced skin analysis.
The VISIA Skin Analysis is a computerised, internationally recognised skin assessment system, available in-clinic only, that objectively measures and maps your skin using multi-spectral imaging and UV photography to reveal concerns not visible to the naked eye.
Our VISIA skin analysis includes a detailed Skincare Specialist consultation and a personalised treatment plan, so you leave knowing exactly what your skin needs.
About VISIA Analysis
The VISIA Skin Analysis is one of the most advanced skin analysis systems available, using high-resolution imaging, UV light, and polarised photography to capture both surface and subsurface skin conditions with unrivalled precision.
Available exclusively in-clinic, this assessment goes far beyond a standard visual assessment. It quantifies your current skin condition and gives your Skincare Specialist the objective data needed to build a truly bespoke treatment plan.
The VISIA scan works by capturing multiple images of the skin surface under different lighting conditions, including UV photography, which reveals sun damage, UV spots, and epidermal melanin that would otherwise remain hidden beneath the skin.
By analysing raised and depressed areas, pore size, texture, and distinct colour variations, it provides a comprehensive picture of your skin health, both at the surface and in deeper subsurface skin features.
The VISIA Skin Analysis measures and reveals:
- Lines and wrinkles: detects folds and depressed areas across the skin surface
- Enlarged pores: assesses circular surface openings and pore size across the face
- Brown spots: identifies superficial and deep pigment, including epidermal melanin, brown skin components, and UV spots caused by sun exposure
- Redness and red areas: maps spider veins, darker red areas, and inflammation linked to vascularity
- Acne-causing bacteria: detects bacterial excretions and bacterial activity beneath the skin surface
- UV spots and sun damage: revealed through UV photography to identify the effects of cumulative sun exposure
- Skin texture and smoothness: evaluates skin smoothness, background skin tone, and surrounding skin tone for a full surface assessment
- Skin type and true skin age: determines your skin type and compares your skin condition to age-matched norms
- Subsurface skin features: captures subsurface skin conditions, including sweat gland ducts and deeper pigmentation not detectable by the naked eye
Each VISIA analysis produces detailed skin surface results that your Skincare Specialist uses to identify your primary concerns, assess your skin elasticity, and compile a targeted, personalised skincare treatment plan.
As your skincare journey progresses, repeat VISIA scans allow us to track measurable improvements in your skin condition and monitor the effectiveness of your treatments over time.

Frequently Asked Questions About VISIA Analysis
What is a VISIA Skin Analysis?
The VISIA Skin Analysis is a computerised, multi-spectral imaging system used by skin specialists to objectively measure and map the skin.
It uses UV light, polarised photography, and RBX technology to capture both surface and subsurface skin features, including brown spots, UV spots, enlarged pores, acne-causing bacteria, spider veins, and skin texture, delivering detailed results that go far beyond what a standard visual assessment can detect.
At Dr Nerina Wilkinson + Associates, the VISIA scan is paired with a personalised Skincare Specialist consultation to translate your results into a targeted, effective treatment plan.

How does VISIA Skin Analysis work?
The VISIA system works by photographing the skin under multiple lighting conditions, including UV photography, cross-polarised, and parallel-polarised light, to capture both skin surface results and subsurface skin conditions.
Each lighting mode reveals different features: UV light uncovers sun damage and UV spots caused by sun exposure; polarised light highlights red areas, spider veins, and inflammation; and standard imaging captures lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, and overall skin texture.
The system then analyses these images against an age-matched database to assess your skin type, skin smoothness, and your skin’s true age.
At Dr Nerina Wilkinson + Associates, your Skincare Specialist walks you through every result so you leave with a clear understanding of your current skin condition and the treatment plan designed to improve it.

How do I interpret my VISIA Skin Analysis results?
The VISIA produces a detailed report covering multiple skin parameters and subsurface skin conditions, and compares your results against an age-matched database to contextualise your skin’s true age and current skin condition.
While the imagery is visually intuitive, accurate interpretation requires clinical expertise to understand what each finding means for your specific skin type and lifestyle.
At Dr Nerina Wilkinson + Associates, your Skincare Specialist guides you through every element of your results, explaining the significance of each metric and how your bespoke treatment plan will address your primary concerns.
No confusing reports, just clear next steps. Book your VISIA analysis and consultation today.
What does a VISIA Skin Analysis involve?
The VISIA Skin Analysis is a non-invasive, computerised skin assessment that captures detailed images of your skin.
It measures everything from brown spots and UV spots to enlarged pores, acne-causing bacteria, spider veins, and subsurface skin conditions that a standard visual assessment simply cannot detect. The result is an objective, data-driven picture of your current skin condition.
At Dr Nerina Wilkinson + Associates, your VISIA scan is paired with a thorough Skincare Specialist consultation, ensuring your results are interpreted in the context of your unique skin history and concerns.

What skin concerns can the VISIA detect?
The VISIA measures a wide range of surface and subsurface skin features, including lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores, brown spots, UV spots from sun damage, red areas and spider veins, acne-causing bacteria, skin texture, and background skin tone.
It also reveals concerns not visible to the naked eye, such as deeper pigmentation, sweat gland ducts, and bacterial excretions beneath the skin surface, giving a far more complete picture than a visual assessment alone.
Dr Nerina Wilkinson + Associates uses this detailed data to design a targeted treatment plan that addresses your actual skin condition, not just what is visible on the surface.
Let the data decide what your skin truly needs. Start with a VISIA Skin Analysis.
How does an advanced skin analysis with VISIA differ from a regular skin consultation?
A standard skin consultation relies on visual assessment and experience alone, whereas the VISIA Skin Analysis uses advanced imaging technology, including UV photography and polarised light, to objectively capture both skin surface results and subsurface skin conditions.
This means concerns such as early sun damage, deeper pigmentation, and acne-causing bacteria can be accurately identified and measured, even before they become visible.
At Dr Nerina Wilkinson + Associates, the VISIA scan forms the foundation of every advanced skincare journey, ensuring your treatment plan is built on precise, measurable data rather than guesswork.
Experience the difference that advanced skin analysis makes. Book your in-clinic VISIA assessment today.
Is the VISIA Skin Analysis suitable for all skin types?
Yes, the VISIA Skin Analysis is clinically designed to assess all skin types, including darker skin tones.
The system captures variations in background skin tone, surrounding skin tone, and epidermal melanin with distinct colour differentiation, ensuring accurate results regardless of your complexion. No matter your concern, the VISIA provides relevant, personalised data for your unique skin. Our Skincare Specialists at Dr Nerina Wilkinson + Associates are trained to interpret your results in the context of your specific skin type and lifestyle.
Your skin is unique, and your analysis should reflect that. Secure your VISIA Skin Analysis appointment now.
How often should I have a VISIA Skin Analysis?
For most patients, an initial VISIA scan forms the baseline for their skincare treatment plan, with follow-up scans recommended every 3 to 6 months to track progress.
Because the VISIA captures objective, measurable data, including changes in UV spots, pore size, skin smoothness, and subsurface skin conditions, repeat assessments allow your Skincare Specialist to see exactly how your skin is responding to treatments and adjust your plan accordingly.
At Dr Nerina Wilkinson + Associates, ongoing VISIA tracking is a key part of how we monitor and optimise your skincare journey over time.
