Facial and body scan & analyses to the highest medical standards
Before we treat, we analyse – objectively, in detail, and transparently. Our practice specialises in high-resolution skin and hair analyses using VISIA®, VECTRA® and HairMetrix™ (Canfield Scientific). These systems give us a deep insight into the condition of your skin, hair and hair follicles, and help us to document changes accurately over time.
VISIA® Skin Analysis & Facial Scan
Parameters analysed:
- Pore size
- Pigmentation and UV damage
- Wrinkles and loss of elasticity
- Skin texture
- Redness, vascular changes, inflammation
High-resolution multispectral imaging and 3D surface analysis enable a highly differentiated assessment – including skin changes that are not yet visible to the naked eye.
VECTRA® 3D Skin and Volume Analysis
With Vectra®, we create high-resolution 3D images of the face, breasts and body. This allows us to capture volume, contours, symmetries and asymmetries with great precision.
Important: For the face, we use Vectra exclusively for objective progress monitoring, based on our own before-and-after images.
HairMetrix™ Hair and Scalp Analysis
HairMetrix™ is a state-of-the-art, AI-assisted analysis module designed specifically for hair structure and scalp assessment. Hair density, hair thickness and growth patterns are captured directly at the skin surface and evaluated within seconds – without prior shaving or hair extraction.
The analysis is suitable for:
- early detection of hair loss
- monitoring the progress of hair therapies
- selecting a targeted treatment approach
Why is image-guided analysis so important?
A reliable diagnosis is more than a glance at your skin's surface – particularly when an individualised and effective treatment is desired.
Image-guided analysis helps us to:
- measure objectively what is often difficult to assess subjectively
- plan treatments in a more individualised, transparent and efficient manner
- make results measurable and comparable

Frequently asked questions
How does skin analysis with VISIA® work?
You take a seat in front of the VISIA® device, which captures images of your face from multiple angles. The software then analyses parameters such as pores, wrinkles, pigmentation and vascular changes using UV, infrared and white light.
How does analysis with VECTRA® work?
We take a 3D photograph of your face or body from various angles. The system creates a volumetric image from which we can identify asymmetries and volume deficits, and simulate potential treatment outcomes.
How does hair analysis with HairMetrix™ work?
For the hair analysis, we pass a non-contact scanner directly over the scalp – no shaving required. Hair density, hair thickness and growth distribution are all analysed.
How long does an image-guided skin analysis take, and who performs it?
Approximately 15–30 minutes, including evaluation and consultation. The technical part is carried out by our trained specialist staff; the evaluation and consultation are conducted by one of our specialist doctors.
Can I book an analysis without a treatment?
Yes, all analyses are available as standalone services – for example, for a second opinion or as an objective progress check.
How often should skin and hair analyses be repeated?
Depending on your treatment goal and individual circumstances, we recommend follow-up analyses every 3 to 6 months.
Are Vectra®, Visia® and HairMetrix™ suitable for all hair and skin types?
Our systems are validated for all skin types, hair types and age groups – including sensitive, highly pigmented or sun-damaged skin.

Your hair is becoming thinner and more sparse: would you like to restore its former fullness and vitality? Exosome therapy could be a turning point for you. The treatment targets fine hair and early-stage hair loss. Exosomes are natural, microscopic cell-derived products that improve hair health. They stimulate cell regeneration and hair follicle activity – for stronger hair structure, firmer and thicker hair, and reactivated hair growth. The gentle treatment takes approximately one hour.
