I recently attended the AURA Reality x DermoperfectionAURA Reality x Dermoperfection showcase at The Mailbox to see the brand’s new 3D scanning technology in action.

The main focus of the event was the AURA digital twin system, which creates a detailed 3D scan of your face to help visualise aesthetic treatments and skin concerns more clearly.

The Scan Experience

I had the chance to try the scan myself, and it was interesting to see how detailed the results were. The system creates a realistic 3D image of the face which can then be used during consultations to look at skin concerns and possible treatment outcomes. My scan rated my skin in comparison to my age and that was pleasing as I was given a negative score meaning that my skin was better than expected for my age.  It then looked in detail at wrinkles, texture, brown spots, red areas and pores mapping accurately where the issues lay.

The process itself was very quick and straightforward. Within a few moments, the scan had mapped facial features and skin texture in much more detail than a standard photograph.  It’s a great tool for focusing future improvement.  It really just took a few moments and the report on my skin was produced in just a few seconds.

What I liked most was that it gives a clearer visual reference during consultations rather than relying purely on explanation or imagination.  It’s just so easy as it visualises it all for you.

A More Modern Consultation Tool

Having seen the AURA system up close, it feels less like a gimmick and more like a genuinely useful consultation tool.  I’ve already used it to give a new focus to my beauty regime because it showed up that my biggest issues were will colouration like redness and pigmentation spots.

The technology gives practitioners and clients something visual to work from, which could make treatment planning feel more personalised and realistic.

It was definitely one of the more interesting pieces of skin technology I’ve seen recently.

Final Thoughts

Overall, the event gave a good insight into how technology is starting to shape aesthetic consultations.

The AURA scan was simple to use, surprisingly detailed, and genuinely interesting to try for myself. While it’s still very new technology, I can see why clinics are starting to explore tools like this as part of the consultation experience.

Disclosure: I had a complimentary scan as part of the event.  My opinions are my own.
