Zug, Switzerland, January 26, 2023–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Galderma announces the launch of FACE by Galderma™, an innovative augmented reality application. This breakthrough solution enables aesthetic practitioners and patients to visualize treatment results during the planning phase. The technology will be presented to the aesthetic science community at the 2023 World Congress of the International Master’s Program in Aging Science (IMCAS) in Paris, January 26-28.
FACE by Galderma™ provides patients with a real-time, true “before and after” view of possible outcomes for a personalized treatment plan.This helps address concerns about the end result, while also allowing for a better understanding of the overall treatment approach, ultimately improving patient satisfaction1.
“We developed this game-changing solution to support aesthetic practitioners and allow patients to visualize what they can expect from the procedures included in their treatment plans. For example, real-time injection results function to simulate how a treatment enhances a patient’s lips , cheek or chin. Galderma™’s FACE provides patients with realistic visuals of results before treatment begins, supporting them in identifying treatment goals and priorities with their physician. It gives them the freedom to achieve their aesthetic goals.” Gerry Muller Head of Global Business Unit, Aesthetics |
FACE by Galderma™ allows for an immersive, fully interactive consultation process and enables the beauty practitioner to assess the entire face in real time. The assessment is based on Galderma’s five-point assessment, which takes into account skin quality, facial shape, facial symmetry, facial proportions and contours, as well as animation and emotional expression. Following the assessment, priority areas can be identified and an individualized treatment plan can be created. By taking a whole-face approach, FACE by Galderma™ ensures practitioners provide a holistic treatment plan that meets the needs of the patient. The technology behind FACE by Galderma™ was developed in collaboration with Crisalix, the world’s leading reference in 3D, virtual reality and augmented reality aesthetic simulations.
“FACE by Galderma™ has pioneered a level of innovation never before seen in the aesthetic industry. This unique technology has the potential to change the way consultations are conducted and is ideally suited to showcase the possibilities of Galderma’s impressive portfolio of injectables.” Jamie Garcia |
The results of a recent global pilot study conducted by Galderma™ on FACE are very promising. Of those surveyed, 80% said the app helped them understand their treatment options, while 73% agreed it made them consider procedures they hadn’t previously considered. Meanwhile, 61 percent said they planned to show their friends their “before and after” photos.Overall, 85% said they would recommend the app and 91% said they planned to go back to their doctor to continue their individualized treatment plan1.
“Patients come to my clinic because they are interested in cosmetic injection procedures and often have questions and concerns about how the procedure will turn out and whether it will look natural and address their wrinkles. Galderma’s FACE tool is available for me through new advanced technology of patients simulated their results prior to surgery, which should help alleviate their concerns and build trust.” Alexandra Belavik Nurse Practitioner and Beautician Syringe Regency Medical Spa and Hair Clinic in Barrington, IL |
Galderma™’s FACE has 19 potentially injectable outcomes using products from Galderma’s portfolio (depending on local indication), enabling patients to see simulated visual effects in real time. Treatment options include:
-
Neuromodulators, such as DYSPORT®blue® (EU) and ALLUZIENCE® (First ready-to-use liquid botulinum toxin type A, approved for use in Europe (excluding Greece, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia and Hungary) in June 2021).
-
Biostimulators, including SCULPTRA®
-
Line of Hyaluronic Acid Fillers, RESTYLANE® He Ruilan® skin booster
The tool also facilitates patient management, acting as a “patient passport”. It enables clinics to store all patient records in one place, including treatment plans, “before and after” videos and images, and appointment schedules. Patients can also access their FACE through their Galderma™ account and view their personal patient profile from home.
FACE by Galderma™ will be launched in the US and Brazil in the first half of 2023, with a global rollout in Latin America, Europe, Middle East, Canada and Asia in 2023.
