The VISIA Skin analysis provides a visual of the skin and an easy-to-understand analysis of any skin issues. From here, a personalised skincare and treatment plan can be created to target specific areas. It also offers ‘before’ and ‘after’ comparisons to easily view the benefits of a skincare program.
At The Skin Hospital at Darlinghurst, we offer VISIA Skin Analysis to complement our range of dermatological services. At your first appointment, a VISIA Skin Analysis technician will complete your analysis with you and walk you through the assessment steps.
Once the scan is complete, you will receive your images and a report. If you wish, you can then book an appointment with one of our dermatologists to discuss your results and treatment options. We also recommend booking a follow up VISIA appointment in 6-12 months to monitor the progress of your skin.
Once you have made a booking, there is nothing more to do until the day of your initial appointment.

Furrows, folds or creases in the skin that can increase as a result of sun exposure and are associated with a decrease in skin elasticity.
Raised and depressed areas that indicate variations on the skin surface affecting skin smoothness.
Circular surface openings of sweat gland ducts. Due to shadowing, enlarged pores appear darker than the surrounding skin tone and are identified by the darker color and circular shape.
The absorption of UV light by epidermal melanin just below the skin surface results in the display and detection of UV spots that can result from sun damage.
Pigmentation and discoloration on and beneath the surface of the skin.
Concentrated darker red areas, which may be related to a variety of conditions such as inflammation or spider veins.
Bacterial excretions that can become lodged in pores.
