CULTURA’S VISIA™ COMPLEXION ANALYSIS SYSTEM

About VISIA™ - A unique complexion profile and the first step to optimum complexion health and vitality.
Your complexion is the window through which your image is projected to the world - and now VISIA™ Complexion Analysis provides the information necessary to truly individualize facial rejuvenation and skin care regimens to match your unique complexion profile.

Multi-Spectral Imaging and Analysis for Optimal Results
A VISIA™ imaging session uses multi-spectral imaging and analysis to capture key visual information for six areas affecting complexion health and appearance: wrinkles, spots, pores, evenness (color variation in the skin tone), porphyrins (evidence of bacteria in pores), and UV spots (characteristic of photodamage, typically from overexposure to sun). Additionally, VISIA™ provides an informative comparison of your complexion's characteristics to those of other women of the same age and ethnicity. VISIA™ generates printed report(s), which you can take home, that provide details of your imaging session.

This comprehensive information enables Cultura to formulate the optimal treatments and regimens that are right for you per our Cultura Integrated Approach (CIA). This approach combines cutting edge technology, prescriptive medicines, exfoliating and vitamin-based topicals, dermatology, plastic surgery, and laser and rejuvenation treatments to enhance your skin's health and restore a radiant youthful appearance. This innovative skin care program is safe and effective for patients of all skin colors and ethnicities.

Based on your complexion profile, CIA recommended rejuvenation and skin care options will appear on your VISIA™ report, and VISIA™ imaging will continue to be used on a periodic basis as an invaluable aid in monitoring your complexion's vitality and checking the effectiveness of your skin care regimen over time. Your vision of healthier, younger looking, more beautiful skin can be a reality with the help of VISIA™ and the CIA.

VISIA AND THE CULTURA INTEGRATED APPROACH (CIA)

VISIA Complexion Analysis, one of the five phases of the Cultura Integrated Approach (CIA), provides a scientific foundation for creating a customized daily skin care regimen based upon your unique complexion. This high tech device provides an objective analysis of your skin's health and facilitates the CIA maintenance and treatment regimens for each skin condition evaluated.

After the VISIA exam has been completed, our physicians and/or clinical skin care specialists will review the analysis results with you. At this time the Skin Care 101 phase of the CIA begins. It is our mission to educate all of our patients about skin care fundamentals and erase the confusion about the subject by giving you the basic tools to understand what skin rejuvenation products and treatments really work or don’t work and why they work or don’t work.

Daily Skin Care Options is the next phase of the CIA. This phase involves the use of exfoliating and hydrating cleansers and moisturizers, corrective gels, preventive topical botanical, mineral and vitamin products, protective sunscreens, and pharmaceutical (prescription) strength rejuvenation products.

Targeted Spa Therapy is a phase of the CIA that utilizes customized facials, microdermabrasion, and light chemical peels to achieve the desired skin rejuvenation objectives. Customized ongoing treatments assist in your efforts to keep your skin looking its very best. We have taken the fluff out of the traditional spa model. We still will pamper, but our pampering will lead to clinical results.

Targeted Cosmetic Therapy phase of the CIA has fellowship trained cosmetic physicians administering the most advanced cosmetic laser treatments and offering the latest in Injectable Wrinkle Management.

Targeted Facial Cosmetic Surgery
Minimally invasive approaches to cosmetic surgery allow for safe and effective facial rejuvenation for people of all skin colors. Targeted cosmetic surgery can now "turn back the hands of time" with no significant downtime. The Cultura Approach for surgical facial rejuvenation consists of small operations packaged to rejuvenate areas where early facial aging is most evident, notably the eyes, cheeks, and neck. These operations can be performed together for total facial rejuvenation or as separate smaller procedures.
