Have you ever wondered what’s really happening beneath the surface of your skin?
While we can see visible imperfections like fine lines, pores, and pigmentation, many underlying skin concerns remain hidden to the naked eye. This is where the Visia Skin Analysis comes in—a revolutionary tool that provides an in-depth look at your skin’s health and condition. I had one done in Cape Town at Dr Alek Nikolic. The cost is R400 and the scan and consultation after takes about an hour. This is money well spent!

What is a Visia Skin Analysis?
A Visia Skin Analysis is a cutting-edge imaging procedure designed to assess both the surface and deeper layers of your skin. By using advanced lighting and camera technology, this non-invasive scan provides a detailed breakdown of:
Sun damage
Pigmentation & dark spots
Wrinkles & fine lines
Pore size & congestion
Skin texture & smoothness
Redness & vascularity (broken capillaries)
UV damage
With these insights, your aesthetic practitioner can develop a customized skincare regimen and recommend targeted treatments to help you achieve your best skin yet.
This is the sun damage in the deeper layers of my skin that isn’t yet visible to the naked eye. Quite a shocker!
How Does a Visia Skin Analysis Work?
The process is quick, painless, and incredibly insightful. Here’s what to expect:
All makeup and skincare products are removed to ensure a clear reading of your natural skin.
You sit in front of the Visia machine, placing your chin on a rest for stability.
The machine captures multiple high-tech photographs of your face from different angles.
Various lighting modes (normal, UV, and polarized) are used to highlight different skin features.
The software then analyses the images, providing a thorough report on your skin’s condition.
Your practitioner will walk you through the results, pinpointing areas of concern and offering expert recommendations based on the analysis.
My Personal Experience with Visia
I was blown away by what I learned about my skin after my Visia Skin Analysis. Here are some of my biggest takeaways:
My enlarged pores, which I thought were due to aging, are actually genetic!
The redness on my neck and décolletage isn’t just sun damage—it’s a genetic pigmentation disorder (poikiloderma) that’s aggravated by sun exposure.
My healthy skin bacteria levels were only 9% instead of 90% due to using the wrong face wash, which was altering my skin’s pH and leading to irritation and sensitivity!
In this image, one can clearly see the areas of my face that are affected with enlarged pores.
It’s always a shocker seeing the damage accumulated after years of UV exposure. The above image shows damage that’s not yet visible with the naked eye!
Had I not done this analysis, I never would have known about my skin’s underlying issues. Thanks to Visia, I now have a clear, science-backed skincare plan that includes the right products and professional treatments like Dermapen and chemical peels to improve my skin’s health.
The analysis compared my skin age to my actual age. I was told usually these differ, with the skin age being older than the actual age – especially in people with a lighter complexion who have sent a fair amount of time in the sun.
