Skin Resurfacing

Skin resurfacing techniques can improve the skin's appearance by smoothing lines and creases, fading scars, and erasing brown spots. The Henry Ford Center for Cosmetic Surgery provides a personalized cosmetic treatment plan for each patient and offers a wide range of advanced options to best fit your needs.

Visia facial analysis

The Visia® photographic facial analysis system is a  tool that helps you to make an informed decision about your procedure, by showing the current status of your skin. During your Visia session:

• You sit in a specialized photographic booth.
• Several standardized photos are taken of your face using the same positioning each time, to ensure accuracy and reproducibility.
• Visia’s computer blends a standard photo with a polarized photo and a UV light photo to assess skin damage at and below the surface.
• At the end of your Visia session, you’ll receive a personalized report showing skin damage, including spots, wrinkles, pores, UV damage, brown spots and red spots.
• Your report also will include percentile scores so you can compare your level of skin damage to other people of the same age and skin type.

This analysis provides you the information that your aesthetic team needs to direct your treatment regimen. In addition to helping you choose your procedure, the Visia system can be used throughout treatment to measure effectiveness.

Visia is only offered at the Grosse Pointe location, where it is complimentary to all plastic surgery patients.
