FAQ
VISIA® Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of skin analysis device is VISIA®?
VISIA® is a skin analysis system that takes photos of the skin and analyzes conditions such as dark spots, wrinkles, pores, and acne. In addition to visible skin concerns, it can also identify underlying skin conditions through UV imaging.
What can you learn from VISIA®?
With VISIA®, you can assess eight skin conditions—including dark spots, wrinkles, pores, and acne—using images and numerical data. At YAYOI CLINIC, we use this technology to objectively evaluate your current skin condition and determine the best course of treatment and home care.
Can VISIA® also determine your skin age?
Yes. With VISIA®, you can assess your skin condition by comparing it to averages for people in your age group. This allows you to objectively understand your current skin condition and use that information as a basis for planning your future skincare routine.
What is VISIA® used for at YAYOI CLINIC?
At YAYOI CLINIC, we use VISIA® to identify the causes of skin concerns and assess their current condition based on objective data, in order to propose a treatment plan tailored to each individual.
Can I just get the VISIA® treatment?
Yes. At YAYOI CLINIC, you can receive a VISIA® skin analysis on its own. The fee for a VISIA® skin analysis is 3,300 yen (tax included) per session. Please check the pricing page for details.
Is VISIA® available only to patients undergoing treatment?
No. VISIA® is also available for those who want an objective assessment of their current skin condition or who want to find out which at-home skincare routine is right for them. It can also be used to assess your skin condition before beginning cosmetic treatments.
Does undergoing a VISIA® skin analysis determine the treatment plan?
VISIA® does not automatically determine the treatment plan. Based on the VISIA® results, the doctor’s examination, and your concerns and desired skin condition, we will discuss the most appropriate treatment plan.
Can I use VISIA® to check changes in my skin before and after a treatment?
Yes. At YAYOI CLINIC, we use VISIA® measurements and other data to assess skin condition before and after treatments, which helps us objectively track changes in the skin.
What kinds of treatments does YAYOI CLINIC recommend using VISIA®?
At YAYOI CLINIC, we use the skin condition assessment provided by VISIA® to determine the most appropriate treatment for your skin concerns, such as laser therapy, light therapy, chemical peels, Potenza, and Mesona J. If you have multiple skin concerns, we may combine several treatments.
Will a VISIA® scan help me figure out which cosmetic procedures I need?
VISIA® allows you to objectively assess your current skin condition. However, the necessary treatment is not determined solely by the VISIA® results; the decision is made based on a physician’s examination, your specific concerns, your ideal skin condition, your budget, and downtime, among other factors.
