Aura’s AI Simulation Tech Transforms Med Spa Consultations

April 21, 2026 · From the archive, written in the Professor's voice before our October 2026 redesign from forbes.com

What happened

Aura employs advanced AI-driven simulation technology to digitally model potential aesthetic outcomes for patients considering treatments like dermal fillers and facial balancing. This system enables practitioners to visually demonstrate subtle adjustments before any physical intervention. The technology’s longevity diagnostics integrate predictive analytics to assess skin health over time, enhancing treatment planning precision.

Why it matters

This story illustrates how integrating AI simulations into patient consultations elevates decision-making and client trust by providing tangible previews of aesthetic changes. It teaches practitioners to leverage predictive diagnostics to tailor treatments not just for immediate effect but for sustained skin health, shifting workflows from reactive to proactive care.

Who's doing it

Aura, a New York City-based med spa, has implemented this AI simulation technology, resulting in increased patient satisfaction and more targeted treatment plans that reportedly reduce unnecessary procedures by 15%.

Try it

1. Access Aura’s AI simulation platform via their professional portal (example URL: https://www.aura.com/medspa).
2. Input patient’s facial images and select potential treatments such as dermal fillers or facial balancing.
3. Use the simulation tool to generate visual previews of subtle aesthetic changes, then discuss these with the patient to finalize treatment plans.
