The VISIA Complexion Analysis System makes news at ABC-TV in Los Angeles

February 6, 2012

Sometimes it’s what you can’t see that makes all the difference. When ABC-TV in Los Angeles ran a feature on skin damage, Barry DiBernardo, MD, was there to help the viewers understand how to identify some hidden problems. Dr. DiBernardo has been using Canfield’s VISIA Complexion Analysis System in his practice for years, and he is a true believer in its ability to identify skin problems. "We can see certain things with our eyes, but we can't see below the surface," he explains. And that’s where VISIA comes in.

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.”
