The rising trend of AI-generated treatment plans and where they truly fit!
AI is rapidly changing how patients approach dermatology and aesthetic medicine. One major shift we’ve noticed recently is that many patients now walk into clinics with a treatment plan generated by AI, often designed solely from photos they shared with a prompt like “analyze my skin” or “suggest anti-aging treatments.”
While the confidence is impressive, it raises an important question:
Can AI really provide the correct assessment and treatment plan?
What AI Does Well
AI is undeniably powerful for:
- Recognizing patterns in acne, pigmentation, hair thinning, or suspicious lesions
- Comparing images to huge medical datasets within seconds
- Suggesting possible diagnoses based on probability
- Identifying visible signs of facial aging—frown lines, volume loss, sagging, uneven tone, under-eye shadows
In aesthetics, it can also propose anti-aging options, such as:
- Biostimulators
- Skin boosters
- Growth factor-rich therapies (like exosomes for hair or skin)
- Energy-based treatments (HIFU, lasers, RF)
- Hydration and collagen-supporting protocols
This makes AI a great starting point, brainstorming tool, and screening assistant.
Where AI Falls Short
But dermatology and especially anti-aging is more than what meets the camera. AI struggles when it comes to:
- Knowing whether hair follicles are scarred or still active
- Detecting subtle inflammation or skin sensitivity
- Understanding hormonal, metabolic, or lifestyle influences on aging
- Customizing treatment sequences, doses, device parameters, or complication risk
- Considering long-term aesthetic goals rather than temporary image-based suggestions
Most importantly: AI cannot replace a specialist’s clinical judgment.
The New Patient Reality
Many of the AI-generated anti-aging plans patients bring are based only on:
One or a few photos
Algorithms predicting what might help
Prompts without medical context
This often leads to over-treatment recommendations, wrong sequencing, or solutions that won’t work in real life for example suggesting steroid injections where there is no inflammation, or promising hair regrowth where follicles are already scarred.
Patients aren’t doing anything wrong they simply don’t yet know the difference between AI suggestions and medically sound planning.
Cutiscity’s Approach: AI That Guides, Dermatologists Who Decide
At Cutiscity, we believe in a smarter model:
- AI assessments to support—not substitute—dermatologists
- Licensed specialists to confirm diagnoses and finalize treatment
We encourage patients to use AI, but we make sure they also reach a real expert—because the right treatment plan isn’t just seen, it’s understood.
So, Can AI Give the Right Assessment & Anti-Aging Plan?
- Yes — when a dermatologist interprets and directs it
- No — when it works alone without clinical oversight
AI sees the image.
A dermatologist sees the patient.
And Cutiscity brings both together.
Our Vision
A future where:
1- Aging concerns are assessed intelligently and safely
2- Scarring vs inflammation vs regeneration is correctly identified
3- AI accelerates care, but doctors personalize it
4- Treatment plans are effective, ethical, and realistic
5- Patients get clarity before procedures, not after disappointments
That change begins now.
