The Aura 3D Imaging System is presented as an innovative solution for the aesthetics industry. Leveraging Hexagon’s expertise in 3D reality capture, Aura has developed a photo-realistic facial imaging system.
The Aura 3D Imaging System creates a digital twin of the patient’s face and neck in a single capture, instantly analyzing facial structures, skin condition, and volumetric changes. This provides invaluable assistance during the pre- and post-treatment processes for cosmetic and aesthetic applications.
How Does Aura 3D Imaging Work?
Scanning Process: The Aura 3D Imaging System uses advanced reality capture technology to digitally replicate the face and neck areas with high resolution in a single scan. This process is completed in just a few seconds without requiring the patient to move.
Digital Model Creation: After the scan, a photo-realistic “digital twin” of the face and neck is created. This model includes all details, from the skin surface to the deeper layers.
Analysis and Planning: The practitioner analyzes the digital model to assess the skin structure, volumetric changes, asymmetry, and textural differences. The Aura system performs these analyses in real time and provides the patient with a visual simulation before the procedure.
Treatment Monitoring: After treatment, the Aura system regularly measures changes in the patient’s skin and closely monitors the healing process. This enables an objective evaluation of treatment outcomes.
When Is Aura 3D Imaging Used?
Aesthetic Planning:
- Used in the planning of aesthetic treatments such as non-surgical facelifts, fillers, Botox, or laser treatments, both before and after the procedures.
- Clearly reveals details such as facial asymmetry, volume loss, and skin elasticity.
Acne and Scar Treatments:
- Aura enables effective planning for acne treatments by analyzing scars and blemishes on the skin surface.
Anti-Aging and Skin Rejuvenation Applications:
- Tracks the baseline condition of the skin and the healing process after collagen-boosting treatments (e.g., Ultherapy).
- Allows for more precise interventions in delicate areas such as around the eyes, lips, and neck.
Pigmentation and Skin Concerns:
- Provides detailed analysis of issues such as sunspots, melasma, and hyperpigmentation, enabling targeted treatment planning.
Reconstructive Surgery and Post-Trauma Scars:
- Used to monitor textural healing processes and optimize treatment plans following surgical interventions.
