AI has become one of the most rapidly developing areas of modern medicine. It is successfully used in diagnostics, treatment planning, and patient monitoring. Today, let&#8217;s not debate its pros and cons. The fact is, it&#8217;s used successfully in many fields, and its capabilities are inexhaustible. Given the topic&#8217;s relevance, it&#8217;s interesting to consider whether artificial intelligence can completely replace medical fields. If so, there are many questions: which ones? to what extent? in what form? and so on.<\/p>\n<p>Aesthetic medicine is of particular interest in this context, as our field combines both visual analysis technologies and interventional procedures that require a doctor&#8217;s direct involvement. As a representative of aesthetic medicine, I think that since the manipulations are performed directly by a doctor, a complete replacement is probably more likely in the era of robotics development. Until then, we should befriend artificial intelligence to make aesthetic medicine more flexible, safer, and more comfortable for patients.<\/p>\n<p>For a long time, the gold standard for skin diagnostics, FotoFinder Systems, has used artificial intelligence and, with the help of a smart doctor, diagnoses with 100% accuracy. According to clinical studies, FotoFinder is considered the best screening tool and is particularly effective in the early screening of melanoma and other skin cancers. In aesthetic clinics, Canfield Systems is very popular and widely used. It takes high-resolution photos and, at the same time, uses AI to analyze wrinkles, pores, spots, and skin tone. The patient can see a simulated 3D preview of the likely result, which makes the treatment plan more individualized and predictable.<\/p>\n<p>Research is also underway on AI Injections Planning, which involves using artificial intelligence to plan injectable treatments (such as Botox, fillers, and fat transfers). Its goal is to increase treatment effectiveness by considering the patient&#8217;s individual anatomy. AI systems analyze 3D images of the patient&#8217;s face or body, which are taken with special cameras like Canfield VISIA or Vectra. The algorithms then assess skin structure, wrinkles, the exact location of volume loss, and other factors to determine the optimal injection sites and quantities.<\/p>\n<p>Initial data indicates that this approach reduces the risk of complications and increases patient satisfaction. A 2025 study published in <i>Aesthetic Plastic Surgery<\/i> and on <i>Pub Med<\/i> by Thomas Radulesco and other co-authors, which compared the effectiveness of various algorithmic systems, confirms the same.<\/p>\n<p>According to the study, all 40 patients surveyed (85% female) believed that ChatGPT models showed the best results in selecting injectable products, injection strategies, matching patient wishes, and safety. However, the authors emphasize that safety limitations prevent the independent clinical use of these systems and that human supervision is still necessary.<\/p>\n<p>According to the study, patients trust treatment more when technology is used under a doctor&#8217;s supervision than with fully automated systems. It turns out that artificial intelligence in aesthetic medicine is not a replacement but a tool for collaboration.<\/p>\n<p>I am deeply convinced of one thing: AI will never replace our humanity (kindness, love, and care for one another) and, most importantly, our emotional intelligence.<\/p>\n<p>Source: &#8220;Artificial Intelligence Chatbots for Facial Injection Planning: Comparative Performance and Safety Limitations&#8221;\u2014Thomas Radulesco (2025, <i>Aesthetic Plastic Surgery<\/i>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We barely had time to grasp how much artificial intelligence has invaded our daily lives.
