Beauty with Brains
FACIEM Aesthetics Simulator is powered by the X³ 3D Physics Engine to more accurately simulate the desired post-procedural results of facial aesthetics procedures including lip augmentation and wrinkle smoothing.
BioMedX Group is transforming the way visualization and simulation for medical aesthetics consultation and their pre-procedural planning are done. The FACIEM Aesthetics Simulator is the first-of-its-kind simulator to enhance the potential outcomes of the procedures the patient is considering in a real-time.
Intelligent Beauty
FACIEM delivers highly accurate and data-driven biomechanical simulations using patient-specific 3D facial scan with clinical, and procedural data. The results are based on science and engineering to intelligently calculate the transformations when fillers are applied to skin tissue.
The X3-powered simulations provide patients a visual representation of their post-procedural outcomes to guide them to make better informed decisions. For clinicians FACIEM creates potential opportunities to upsell complementary procedures to drive revenues.
Every Detail Captured
FACIEM employs state-of-the-art technology, featuring an ultra-high resolution 3D scanner renowned for its precision, capturing intricate facial details with unparalleled accuracy down to 0.05 mm. This level of precision ensures that every nuance of the face is meticulously recorded, facilitating a personalized experience tailored to each individual patient. Utilizing a Class 1 Infrared laser, the scanner guarantees safety for the eyes while swiftly completing a comprehensive 3D facial scan within a mere 2-3 minutes.
Physical Dynamics
Unlike other solutions that uses photo-editing tools to create the post-procedure results, FACIEM is the only solution today that is a real-time dynamic medical simulations imaging solution that seamlessly integrates physics and computational mathematics to deliver highly accurate simulations. The results are simulations that are based on science and data, and not artistry.
3D Facial Scan Data
Unlike other solutions that use regular cameras and photogrammetry methods to generate the appearance of 3D, FACIEM³ utilizes an ultra-high resolution 3D scanner that captures up to 1 million data points with 0.05mm point accuracy that is required for this high-level of 3D simulation.
Procedural Data
To deliver highly accurate simulation results, BioMedX studied the process and methodologies used by clinicians when injecting fillers into the facial tissues. The procedural data includes the number and location of typical injection sites, and in the future, any special techniques related to delivery.
Clinical Data
BioMedX has compiled the clinical data of popular filler agents and neurotoxins. The clinical data includes the structural information regarding the injectables (e.g., molecular weight, viscosity, volume, concentration/units, etc.) and the physiological behavior when it is injected into facial tissues. All of this information is integrated into the proprietary mathematical formulae and algorithms that are then processed by X³ to produce the simulations.
Transforming the Consultation Experience
The FACIEM³ Aesthetics Simulator delivers several technological innovations to pre-procedural visualization and simulation that transforms the way clinicians and patients experience the consultation process. Clinicians will be able to simulate and demonstrate to the patient results that are highly accurate and discuss any potential issues prior to the procedure.
A valuable Collaboration
FACIEM is designed to foster a collaboration experience between the clinician and patient. Clinicians can receive real-time and direct feedback from the patient of the desired procedure results and make the adjustments on the simulation until both parties are satisfied. This mitigates patient dissatisfaction and increases patient confidence to move forward with the desired procedure(s).
In-Clinic or Virtually
FACIEM³ will be available as a web-based software that is device and operating systems agnostic. The FACIEM³ software is accessible through the web browser and clinicians and patients can log on and perform various simulations either in-clinic, or virtually though the clinic!s Telehealth platform.
Upsell Complementary Procedures
FACIEM³ can potentially improve sales by empowering clinicians with the tools to upsell additional procedures. As more procedure applications are added to FACIEM³, i.e., blepharoplasty and or rhinoplasty, clinicians can simulate a combination of various several procedures that are complementary to the patient, thereby providing enhanced revenues to the clinician. encouraging sales.
Procedural Applications
FACIEM³ currently provides two popular procedure applications focused on lip augmentation and wrinkle smoothing. More non-invasive procedure applications such as microdermabrasion, microthread lift, and many more are being planned and will be released in the near future. As FACIEM³ is continually enhanced, future versions will include invasive procedures such as Rhinoplasty, Blepharoplasty, and Rhytidectomy.
Lip Augmentation
The Lip Augmentation application demonstrates the post-procedure simulated results of the procedure. Clinicians can select from the menu the popular brand of dermal fillers and the volume to be injected.
Wrinkle Smoothing
The Wrinkle Smoothing application enables clinicians to simulate the results of wrinkle smoothing procedures using dermal fillers and/or neurotoxins.
Future Procedural Applications
As FACIEM expands the number of procedural applications, more invasive procedures will be added as the technology advances. Some potential procedural applications include:
- Blepharoplasty
- V-shape jawline
- Facial feminization
Beyond medical aesthetics, BioMedX is looking to medical applications such as cleft palate/lip corrective surgeries, as well facial trauma and tumor removal surgeries.
Future Features
FACIEM uses an ultra-high resolution 3D Scanner capturing up to 1 million data points of the face. This ensures every fine and intricate facial detail is captured to personalize the experience and deliver simulations that are unique to each patient.
Pre-Surgery Planning & Modeling
FACIEM is currently designed for consultation purposes only. In the future, as more invasive procedure applications are added, FACIEM will evolved to become a pre-surgery planning and modeling tool. The future enhancements will allow clinicians to rehearse and refine the procedures prior to the actual surgery. This results in better preparation and more precise outcomes and assessment of the risk of follow-on or corrective procedures.
Artificial Intelligence
Future versions of FACIEM will include Artificial Intelligence to better improve the simulation results. As more simulations are performed, comparisons will be made between the actual post-procedure results and the simulated results. The comparison data is processed and through machine learning tools, FACIEM will improve its algorithms, to deliver even more realistic simulation results. FACIEM will also be enhanced with additional AI driven tools and capabilities to provide analysis and make recommendation that are specific to the patient to increase successful outcomes and reduce durations of the procedures and reduce procedural recovery time.
