Abstract

Facial treatments, even for aesthetic purposes, often involve unnecessary patient risk due to treatment by unexperienced practitioners and/or a lack of standardized procedures. We develop a software to support and standardize facial treatments based on knowledge of experts. The prototype utilizes WebGL and 3D-equipment, but it also focuses affordability to make its wide-spread use more likely. It aims to help in treatment planning along with professional self-development. In this paper, we describe the underlying problem, a possible medical model as a solution, the prototype architecture, and how the prototype is utilized in the treatment process. Finally, we conduct a test of the prototype.
