There’s not much you need to do before your scan, but arriving with a clean, makeup-free face helps the system capture the most accurate images. Avoid applying heavy moisturizers, sunscreens, or tinted products right beforehand. If you’re wearing anything on your skin when you arrive, we’ll help you remove it so the scan results are as clear as possible.

During a VISIA face scan, you’ll sit comfortably with your chin and forehead resting on the device while the scanner rotates around your face, capturing high-resolution images from multiple angles. The software then evaluates wrinkles, skin texture, pore size, UV spots, brown spots, red areas from inflammation or broken capillaries, and porphyrins, which are bacterial deposits in pores. It also calculates your “True Skin Age” and compares your results to others in your age group using percentile scoring. All of this happens in just a few minutes.

Once we’ve reviewed your scan, we can start talking about what your skin may benefit from. Depending on what shows up, we might suggest treatments like resurfacing lasers, chemical peels, injectables, or shifts in your at-home skincare routine. The analysis helps us avoid a trial-and-error approach and instead focus on what makes sense for your skin’s specific patterns.
