How do use the information from MCNYC VISIA® Skin analysis to generate a treatment plan?

For example, the team would examine the UV spots, which are spots that we don’t necessarily see but are underneath the skin as you see on the right side in comparison to visible spots on the left side. So, the last step would allow us to make recommendations based on the results. So, Dr. Nicolas Batty may recommend treatments such as Botox for fine lines around the eyes and the glabella. On the other hand, we can also recommend laser treatments for redness or as well as skincare products to help maintain healthy skin such as the alpha ray retinoid treatment antioxidant from skin better science. So, this analysis is tool for comparing the skin and seeing what type of results be able to achieve after doing treatments and using the products. Therefore, we can see the changes that the team has been able to achieve on your skin, not just visibly, but by looking deeper and seeing the changes that have been made below the surface of the skin.

What are the definitions of the various skin features and how are the features detected?

Spots: Spots are typically brown or red skin lesions including freckles, acne scars, hyper-pigmentation and vascular lesions. Spots are distinguishable by their distinct color and contrast from the background skin tone. Spots vary in size and generally have a circular shape.

 

Pores: Pores are the circular surface openings of sweat gland ducts. Due to shadowing, pores appear darker than the surrounding skin tone and are identified by their darker color and circular shape. The VISIA® system distinguishes pores from spots based on size; by definition, the area of a pore is much smaller than a spot.

 

Wrinkles: Wrinkles are furrows, folds or creases in the skin, which increase in occurrence because of sun exposure and are associated with decreasing skin elasticity. This skin feature has the greatest variability from image to image as it is highly dependent upon the facial expression of the client. Wrinkles are identified by their characteristic long, narrow shape.

 

Texture: Texture is primarily an analysis of skin smoothness. Texture measures skin color and smoothness by identifying gradations in color from the surrounding skin tone, as well as peaks (shown in yellow) and valleys (shown in blue) on the skin surface that indicate variations in the surface texture.

 

Porphyrins: Porphyrins are bacterial excretions that can become lodged in pores and lead to acne. Porphyrins fluoresce in UV light and exhibit circular white spot characteristics.

 

UV Spots: UV spots occur when melanin coagulates below the skin surface because of sun damage. UV spots are generally invisible under normal lighting conditions. The selective absorption of the UV light by the epidermal melanin enhances its display and detection by VISIA.

 

Red Areas: Red Areas represent a potential variety of conditions, such as acne, inflammation, Rosacea or spider veins. Blood vessels and hemoglobin contained in the papillary dermis, a sub-layer of skin, give these structures their red color, which is detected by the RBX Technology in VISIA. Acne spots and inflammation vary in size but are generally round. Rosacea is usually larger and diffuse compared to acne, and spider veins usually are short, thin and can be interconnected in a dense network.

 

Brown spots: Brown Spots are lesions on the skin such as hyper-pigmentation, freckles, lentigines, and melasma. Brown Spots occur from an excess of Melanin. Melanin is produced by melanocytes in the bottom layer of the epidermis. Brown Spots produce an uneven appearance to the skin and are detected in VISIA® by RBX. Contact us today at MCNYC at +1-646-647-9163 or info@icrmc.org for further information or to book your free consultation at www.icrmc.org.

What factors influence the results of the image session?

Several factors contribute to the actual scores generated by the VISIA® complexion analysis algorithms, including the condition of the skin (cleaned vs. fresh make-up, old make-up, time-of-day), head registration within the booth, facial expression (particularly for wrinkles), stray hair, glare areas resulting from oily skin, etc. Note that the percentile scores were generated for subjects with cleaned skin prior to their imaging session, so results may vary if make-up is NOT removed prior to a patient’s VISIA® session. Contact us today at MCNYC at +1-646-647-9163 or info@icrmc.org for further information or to book your free consultation at www.icrmc.org.

What is the definition for each of the three types of skin conditions? How does VISIA® use this information?

“Clean” is defined as skin that has been recently cleansed and without make-up or skin conditioners applied, “Fresh Make-up” is defined as make-up recently applied (roughly within the past hour), “Other” covers all other cases. No change is made in terms of either taking the photo or in the analysis process based upon the skin condition selected. This information is recorded in the patient’s record for each session and allows scores to be properly interpreted if images were captured under different conditions session-to-session (i.e., one time image taken with clean skin, the next time with make-up). Also, images that are “clean” can be considered as valid input to further build the database. Contact us today at MCNYC at +1-646-647-9163 or info@icrmc.org for further information or to book your free consultation at www.icrmc.org.

Which data display option is best for our practice to use?

Three data display options are available depending upon the needs and preferences of the practice and can either be selected from within VISIA’s Session Options tab or by right clicking on any data display bar or graph.

 

Feature Counts: Feature Counts provide a count of the number of discrete instances of the feature being evaluated, without regard to the size or intensity of each instance. Feature Counts can be used to track treatment progress when a reduction in the number of discrete instances of a particular feature is desired.

 

Absolute Scores: Absolute Scores provide a comprehensive measurement of the impact that the feature has on the client’s complexion. Absolute Scores factor in the total size and area as well as intensity of detected instances of the feature being analyzed. Absolute Scores can be used to track treatment progress when the size and intensity of instances of a feature are the most relevant indicator of treatment effectiveness.

 

Percentiles: Percentiles provide a context in which to evaluate a client’s complexion analysis results by presenting a comparison of the individual’s Absolute Scores to those of people with similar characteristics. Percentiles are useful in providing a baseline assessment of the overall condition of the client’s complexion. Contact us today at MCNYC at +1-646-647-9163 or info@icrmc.org for further information or to book your free consultation at www.icrmc.org.

What is the wavelength used for the UV photography?

The wavelength used by the UV flashes is 365 nm (peak).

Should the patient's eyes be open or closed when the picture is taken?

It is strongly recommended that the eyes be closed for the UV photos given the intensity of the UV flashes. For standard photos, the eyes can be either open or closed, although more aesthetically pleasing images are achieved with the eyes open. Because the mask is created using the standard photo (in which the patient’s eyes are typically open), there is no need to be concerned that eyelashes will be included inadvertently in UV analysis, even though the patient’s eyes are closed. Contact us today at MCNYC at +1-646-647-9163 or info@icrmc.org for further information or to book your free consultation at www.icrmc.org.

Are there other technologies that can provide skin analysis?

Yes, it is notable to discuss QuantifiCare launches new 3D Skin Analysis application. Up to now, with QuantifiCare’s Software Suite, practitioners were able to display superior quality, to view 3D patient pictures from a multitude of angles, to highlight treatment options with personalized 3D simulations and to compare with previous visits. The new SkinCare module enables physicians to generate a complete report measuring skin changes including wrinkles, oiliness, pores, evenness, red & brown spots and evaluate their skin health using multivariate analysis. The severity of each criterion can be visualized in 3D and highlighted with a color scale. The report provides a reference tool to guide the physician and inform the patient of the best aesthetic interventions.
