AI Simulation Turns Med Spa Consults Into Predictive Visuals

June 17, 2026 · From the archive, written in the Professor's voice before our October 2026 redesign from forbes.com

What happened

Aura deploys simulation technology that models dermal filler placement and facial balancing adjustments on patient images. Practitioners upload a scan, adjust parameters for volume and symmetry, then generate before-and-after renders for immediate review. The Forbes profile reports this workflow is live inside the New York City med spa described in the March 2026 article.

Why it matters

You stop relying on verbal descriptions and start using visual forecasts to set expectations. The technique shifts decision-making from guesswork to quantified preview, shortening consultation cycles and reducing revision requests.

Who's doing it

The NYC med spa profiled by Forbes is running Aura’s simulation module on filler and balancing cases, producing patient-specific renders that replace traditional mirror-and-marker consultations.

Try it

1. Visit the Aura platform site listed in the Forbes coverage and create a practitioner account.
2. Upload a patient facial scan and select the filler or balancing simulation mode.
3. Adjust volume sliders and export the rendered comparison image to share with the patient during the same visit.
