VISIA Skin Analysis- The Science Behind Personalized Skin Care

At Castleridge Medical Aesthetics, we use the VISIA Skin Analysis System- an advanced imaging technology that provides a detailed, multi-dimensional assessment of your skin’s health and appearance. By capturing high-resolution images and using cutting-edge software, VISIA evaluates both visible and underlying skin conditions that the naked eye cannot detect. 

This allows us to accurately track your skin health, detect early signs of damage, and create a personalized treatment plan to address your unique needs.

The Science Behind Skin Analysis

VISIA uses multi-spectral imaging and cross-polarized light to capture different layers of the skin-from the surface down to the dermis-and analyze various indicators of skin condition and aging. The system provides measurable scores for multiple skin health factors:

  1. Brown Spots:
    • What it is: Areas of increased pigmentation caused by sun exposure, aging or hormonal changes
    • Why it matters: Indicates uneven skin tone and potential sun damage
  2. Redness:
    • What it is: Increased vascular activity or inflammation in the skin, often linked to rosacea, sensitivity, or broken capillaries
    • Why it matters: Persistent redness can indicate chronic inflammation or vascular damage
  3. UV Spots:
    • What it is: Sun-induced skin damage not yet visible on the surface
    • Why it matters: These are early warning signs of photoaging and pigmentation issues
  4. Wrinkles:
    • What it is: Fine lines and deeper creases caused by collagen breakdown, repetitive movements and aging
    • Why it matters: Early wrinkle detection allows for timely intervention
  5. Textures:
    • What it is: The smoothness or roughness of the skin’s surface
    • Why it matters: Uneven texture can be caused by dryness, scarring or enlarged pores
  6. Porphyrins:
    • What it is: Natural bacterial by products that can clog pores and cause acne
    • Why it matters: High porphyrin levels may indicate poor skin hygiene or oil buildup

How VISIA Improves your Skin Care Plan

By combining scientific data with professional expertise, VISIA allows us to:

  • Pinpoint underlying causes of skin concerns
  • Create customized treatment plans based on objective measurements
  • Monitor progress with before and after comparisons
  • Recommend the right skincare products and treatments for your skin type and condition
  • Focus on prevention as well as correction for long-term skin health

Body Composition Analysis

At Castleridge Medical Aesthetics, we offer body composition analysis using the GOMECY system-a medical grade device that provides an in-depth understanding of your body’s physical makeup. Unlike a standard scale, which only tells you total body weight, this advanced technology measures fat mass, muscle mass, water levels, protein stores, and more to give you a clear picture of your health.

Knowing these numbers allows us to create a personalized nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle plan designed to help you lose weight, build lean muscle, and improve overall well-being.

The GOMECY analyzer uses bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA)- a safe, painless, and quick method that sends a low-level electrical current through the body. Because fat, muscle, water and protein conduct electricity differently, the device can accurately measure each component.

What Your Body Composition Report Includes

  1. Body Fat Weight & Percentage
    • What it is: The total mass of fat tissue in your body, expressed in kilograms and as a percentage of body weight
    • Why it matters: Excess body fat increased risk of heart disease, diabetes, and joint strain, while too little can affect hormone balance and immunity
    • Optimal range: Varies by age and gender-typically 10-20% for men,18-28% for women
  2. Muscle Mass
    • What it is: The weight of skeletal muscles, which support strength, posture, and metabolic health
    • Why it matters: Higher muscle mass improves calorie burn, physical performance, and injury prevention
  3. Protein Levels
    • What it is: Total protein in your body, largely from muscles and organs
    • Why it matters: Adequate protein supports tissue repair, immune function, and healthy hair, skin, and nails.
  4. Total Body Water (TBW)
    • What it is: The amount of water in your body, both inside cells (intracellular) and outside cells (extracellular).
    • Why it matters: Hydration affects energy level

How This Analysis Helps your Health

By knowing what exactly what your body is made of, we can:

  • Identify whether weight loss should focus on fat reduction or muscle preservation
  • Detect early signs of dehydration, nutrient deficiencies, or muscle loss
  • Personalize nutrition and exercise programs to match your unique needs
  • Track progress over time and adjust your plan for maximum results

Diet & Lifestyle Recommendations

For Fat Loss:

  • Prioritize whole, nutrient-dense foods: vegetables, lean proteins, healthy fats, and low GI carbs
  • Create a mild calorie deficit (~300-500 kCal/day)
  • Limit added sugars and processed foods
  • Include gut-supporting foods: yogurt, fiber-rich produce, sauerkraut

For Muscle Gain/Toning:

  • Increase protein intake to 1.2-2.0 g/kg body weight
  • Eat a balanced post-workout meal with protein + carbs
  • Ensure adequate total calories to support training

Age & Gender Considerations:

  • Women Over 40: Focus on Calcium, Vitamin D, resistance training to counter muscle loss and bone density decline
  • Men Over 50: Monitor protein and resistance training to maintain testosterone and muscle mass
  • Active young adults: Higher carb intake for performance, monitor hydration closely
