AI skin analysis app for med spas and dermatology clinics: what it should do

A skin analysis app for a clinic should do more than score a face. The score only matters if it becomes a treatment plan the patient can book before she leaves. TheLab, by Beauty GrowthLab, reads the skin from three phone photos and turns that reading into three priced treatment plans built from the clinic’s own treatments and prices.

What a clinic actually needs from a face scan

Three kinds of tools

These are not rivals. Many clinics keep an imaging device for diagnosis and practice software for records, and add a plan-first app for the decision at the end of the consult. For that last step, see consultation-to-treatment-plan software.

How TheLab works

  1. Three photos, about 90 seconds, with a phone the clinic already owns. Six skin markers appear on your screen, not hers.
  2. Three plans from your menu. Each option uses your own treatments and prices, is spread over several months, and never goes below your prices.
  3. Your validation. The plan arrives as a draft. You edit it before the patient sees anything.
  4. Turn the screen. She sees her skin first and the price last, chooses one of three options, and the next session is booked before she leaves.

What it does not do

Where the photos go

They never leave the clinic. The front photo stays encrypted on the clinic’s computer for before-and-after; the others are deleted after the analysis.

Five questions to ask any skin analysis vendor

  1. Does the scan end in a plan priced at my prices, or only in a score?
  2. Can I edit the plan before the patient sees it?
  3. Does the patient see her skin before the price?
  4. Where are the photos stored, and who can see them?
  5. Do I need to buy new hardware?

Frequently asked questions

Does TheLab need a special camera or device?

No. It works with a phone and a computer the clinic already owns.

Is TheLab a replacement for a skin imaging device?

No. An imaging device measures the skin in depth. TheLab turns the reading into three priced plans built on your own treatments. Many clinics use both.

Where are patient photos stored?

On the clinic’s computer. The front photo stays encrypted for before-and-after; the others are deleted after the analysis.

Can I try it first?

Yes. The trial runs for 7 days in your clinic, with no card.
