In the rapidly evolving field of aesthetic medicine, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a game-changer, revolutionizing the way practitioners approach consultations, treatments, and outcomes. Advanced Aesthetic Injector and Nurse Practitioner Theresa Pinson, owner of the Virtual Skin Spa alongside industry influencer Tom La Vecchia, MBA, Founder of X Factor Media shed light on the transformative trends reshaping the landscape of aesthetic medicine in 2024.
Artificial Intelligence in Facial Analysis and Virtual Consultations:
Theresa Pinson, a leading injector in the practice of aesthetic, envisions AI taking a central role in facial analysis, skin analysis and virtual consultations. “I envision the integration of AI into the consultative process allowing clients to “ try on aesthetic procedures such as cheek filler, lip filler etc. The information and visualization gained from AI will aid in the clients customized treatment plan and guidance when setting realistic treatment plans.
Pinson emphasizes the potential of AI to guide practitioners in recommending tailored solutions, ensuring optimal outcomes for patients seeking aesthetic enhancements.
However, Pinson emphasizes the importance of a thorough medical, aesthetic and surgical history prior to any injectable procedure which also will shape clients treatment plan.
3D Imaging for Aesthetic Injectable Planning:
Theresa Pinson, drawing on her extensive experience, highlights the significance of AI-powered 3D imaging in facial injections and body contouring technology . This cutting-edge technology employs advanced imaging techniques to create a three-dimensional model of a patient’s face and body. The 3D model serves as a powerful tool in simulating potential aesthetic outcomes, aiding practitioners in meticulous treatment planning. This not only enhances the accuracy of the procedures but also provides patients with a realistic preview of the anticipated results.
Revolutionizing Noninvasive Skin Treatments with AI-Powered Lasers:
Pinson also sees groundbreaking smart laser and radio frequency utilizing AI technology, underscores the transformative potential of AI in noninvasive skin and cosmetic treatments. Pinson expresses her enthusiasm for “self driving” technology” as most modalities require an operator, as AI will make that function a thing of the past. As discussed earlier, AI will facilitate the consult process and in some cases make the cosmetic technology treatments operator free as AI will not only monitor the targeted areas but also the results.
