Your guest arrives looking nervous for a first-time facial. Will it be worth the money? Or your hair client asks about lip filler but is concerned that she won’t like the results. Maybe you’ve been trying to introduce the benefits of Botox to clients who remain skeptical no matter how much reassurance you provide. Because clients have unique facial features and skin factors, it’s understandable when they’re hesitant to go blindly into procedures they’ve never experienced before.

Now clients can try—virtually—before they buy. A new tool, Perfect Corp’sSkincare Pro Technology, which features an AI-driven Aesthetic Before & After Simulator , can help you reassure clients by giving them a customized, data-driven preview of the results. The simulator scans the client’s face and instantly generates images that contrast the appearance of the face now with what it will look like after the requested treatment. Acting also as an educational tool to demonstrate how different treatments work, this advanced technology can make it easier for clients to confidently book the most appropriate procedure for their desired outcome. 

“By allowing clients to visualize results before committing, salons can enhance transparency and build stronger relationships with potential customers,” says Wayne Liu, Chief Growth Officer and President at Perfect Corp. “The simulator is more than just a consultation tool; it’s a marketing powerhouse. High-quality, shareable visuals can be integrated into websites, social media campaigns and in-salon displays to engage and attract potential clients.”

How the Simulator Works

Available for iPhone and iPad, the Skincare Pro system can be used as an interactive kiosk or tablet experience in the salon. First, the camera scans the client’s face to identify facial features and assess eight key facial proportion properties across six facial zones. Next, the simulator previews the results of seven treatment options—lip filler, nose filler, face filler, eye treatment, eyebrow filler and skin filler. The simulations address treatments clients may be unfamiliar with, such as jawline contouring, nasolabial folds filler, and forehead wrinkle filler.

The before-and-after comparison appears in a side-by-side format; guessing becomes a thing of the past. Additionally, the tool provides a detailed report with data on the improvements, which helps the esthetician as well as the client. The data remains available for clients and technicians to track progress and design a maintenance program.

“The simulator equips businesses with cutting-edge AI technology to enhance client trust, boost conversions and streamline treatment consultations,” Liu says. “We find that it helps salons stand out, meet evolving client expectations and stay ahead in an increasingly competitive market.”
