Yes to AI in cosmetic technology

Everyone is talking about AI . Opinions range from those who see it as an imminent threat to those who embrace its virtues and potential. We belong to the latter group, though this doesn't preclude our support for its ethical use. Our focus is on what and how artificial intelligence interacts with cosmetic technology, and how it will do so in the future.

This isn't new; AI has been used in the cosmetics industry for many years. Its application focuses on personalizing treatments. At SKINVITY, we work with innovative brands for whom technological advancements are fundamental to their business.

The most innovative TriPollar devices —such as the Gold2, Pose VX, and Desire—feature a thermal mapping algorithm that controls the heating process by continuously sampling skin temperature at five different thermal points on the user's face. This personalized and far more efficient treatment results in wonderful cosmetic outcomes. Having tested devices from this impressive family since their inception, we can tell you that this advancement represents a giant leap forward .

Almost all Foreo and Elvie devices have their own custom app, allowing users to create their own parameters for more precise treatments that focus on their specific needs. Standard is no longer in, my friends.

At SKINVITY, we've recently had many conversations about the importance of personalized routines. Our keen eye is now focused on devices with sensors that provide real-time information about our skin's condition, allowing us to create tailored routines. This also contributes to a holistic approach to self-care. Can you imagine an AI that could detect our stress levels and how they affect our skin? There's a very new trend in this area called biohacking , which advocates for the ability to hack our own bodies thanks to technological advancements.

From basic things like monitoring our sleep patterns —something that's already commonplace—to stranger and more unsettling applications like using a 3D printer to print our own skin . Skin bioprinting sounds like something out of a science fiction movie, we know, but it turns out it's already a reality: they've invented a portable model that applies bio-ink to serious wounds to help them heal faster. Yes, we were just as stunned when we found out.

The relationship between women and technology began just a few years ago. In fact, the term femtech, coined by Ida Tin , founder of the app Clue , was born in 2016, only seven years ago. And it's crucial to continue researching and gathering data. The more we know about ourselves and our bodies, the more empowered we'll be, and the better equipped we'll be to provide ourselves with the best care, ideally right from our own bathroom.

We're jumping on the innovation bandwagon, are you coming?
