VISIA helps the Wall Street Journal educate young people about the risk of excessive tanning

November 14, 2011

To discourage young people from excessive tanning, show them what it will do to their skin. That’s the advice of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, which issued draft recommendations on the subject last week. And when the Wall Street Journal was preparing an article on these recommendations, their search for a compelling illustration lead straight to Canfield Imaging Systems. They had learned from several dermatologists that Canfield had the perfect solution; the VISIA Complexion Analysis System.

VISIA’s exclusive RBX analysis sees right through the skin’s surface, to the lower layers where sun exposure does its damage. So for the Wall Street Journal, a VISIA picture was just what the doctor ordered.

Gary Breslow, MD demonstrates VECTRA 3D aesthetic simulation on CBS-TV

December 23, 2010

As CBS 2’s Dr. Max Gomez reports, a new computer technology now allows patients to see exactly what they’d look like after cosmetic surgery. The new system is called VECTRA, and it may be a positive force in our beauty-obsessed culture, where many aspire to have the hips, thighs, bust nose and eyes of models and actresses. The trouble is – patients have unrealistic expectations of the outcome.

Dr. Gary Breslow is a plastic surgeon at the Breslow Center for Plastic Surgery.

“[Patients] come in with pictures of their friends or pictures of models or magazines and they say, ‘I want this.’” But a model’s nose, lips and hips may not fit your body – and this new technology can help patients see this.

VECTRA takes multiple 3D photos of the particular body area you’re thinking about having work on. Using specialized software, Dr. Breslow can then modify the patient’s own image to show them what their surgery will look like, from all different angles.

“It lets you see the results before the procedure’s even done,” said plastic surgery patient Michelle Brinksma. “It’s just amazing to see what you look like after.”
