Industry experts across the board are talking about how AI and AR are transforming patient consults, with new innovations in photography devices and software capable of taking 3D images of patients and translate them into realistic simulations of treatment results. In addition, these next generation imaging devices and digital tools are able to take measurements and collect data on a variety of skin features to give detailed analysis of the exact skin health needs, aesthetic concerns, ideal products for treatment and much more for each individal patient, making diagnosis and highly customized treatments easier and more effective than ever before.
If you caught our October Trends & Innovations column on Digital Technology, you probably noticed that AI and AR in aesthetics is changing the game for patient consultations, with new imaging devices and software utilizing AI and AR coming out in an ever-faster stream over the past year. Jonathan Kanevsky, M.D., FRCSC, commented that in the area of digital technology, "Latest trends include AI-driven treatment planning, virtual consultations, AR simulations for visualizing results and the integration of EHRs for streamlined operations and data security."
According to Izhak Musli, co-founder of Aesthetic Success, "The number one rapidly exploding tech trend I see in the aesthetics industry is the involvement of artificial intelligence (AI) between the practice and the patient. The use of AI helps to set better expectations for treatment outcomes, improves the patient experience and helps educate patients about other procedures suitable for their unique needs in order for them to achieve the desired results. AI excels in creating personalized treatment plans, and helps foster patient-centric care."
In our recent survey which asked, Do you plan to upgrade or expand your photography equipment or software this year? 74% of readers said yes and 26% said no.
