At Ailesbury we use the Beau Visage skin imaging system, which allows your therapist to measure your skin age and also to track treatment results over time.  Beau VisageTM is an advanced skin imaging and consultation system developed for the medical, aesthetic and beauty industries. Beau Visage allows you to view up to 2mm beneath the surface of the skin and analyse the components responsible for the way a client looks and ages, such as blood, melanin and sun damage,
