Why should I trust SkinAura with my clients' biometric data? Unlike many "beauty AI" apps built by tech teams focused solely on aesthetics, SkinAura PRO was developed with a "Security-by-Design" philosophy. Our founder’s legal background means that regulatory compliance isn't an afterthought—it is the foundation. Every feature is vetted against current healthcare privacy laws to ensure your practice is shielded from liability. Can skincare professionals monitor their clients’ progress? Yes. You can view routine completion, streaks, progress photos, and client activity in one place. You can also send reminders and track follow-through over time, so you’re not guessing what happened between appointments. Does the AI replace my professional judgment? Never. In legal terms, SkinAura PRO is a "Decision Support Tool." It is designed to provide high-fidelity data—such as detecting 15+ specific skin concerns with 95% test-retest reliability—to help you validate your diagnosis and track treatment progress. The final clinical or aesthetic decision always remains with you, the licensed professional. Is SkinAura PRO designed for all skin tones? Yes. SkinAura PRO supports diverse skin tones and common concerns in melanin-rich skin, including hyperpigmentation and uneven tone. The platform is designed to help professionals document progress accurately and guide clients with clarity. What features are available for skincare professionals? Professionals get tools for client management, treatment plans, routines, product recommendations, and progress tracking. You can maintain a structured client journey—baseline → plan → track → adjust—without relying on memory, screenshots, or scattered notes. How does the gamification system work? Clients earn points for completing routines and staying consistent over time. Streaks, badges, and milestone levels help reinforce behavior—so clients stay engaged and you spend less time “chasing compliance.” Can I upload and track progress photos? Yes. Clients can upload before, during, and after photos, and you can review them inside the platform. Providers can annotate images, mark areas of concern or improvement, and give clear feedback directly on the photo. Does SkinAura PRO integrate with other tools? Yes. SkinAura PRO integrates with Twilio for SMS reminders, supports Shopify product imports, and allows CSV product imports. It also connects with the SkinAura AI skin analysis platform to support advanced skin scanning capabilities. Who owns the images I upload? You and your clients do. SkinAura PRO acts as a "Data Processor." We do not sell, rent, or share your client’s facial data with third-party advertisers. Your clinic’s database is your own intellectual property, and you can export or delete your data at any time. Personal Progress Gallery: Your Skin Journey FAQ Where are my progress photos stored? Your photos are stored in a private, encrypted digital vault. Think of it as a "locked medical cabinet" that only you and your authorized provider can access. We use the same high-level security standards used by modern healthcare clinics to ensure your images stay private. Who can see the photos I upload? Only you and your skin professional have access to your gallery. This allows your provider to review your progress between appointments and adjust your treatments based on real results. We never share your photos with third parties, and we don't use them for advertising. How is this different from the Skin Scanner? The Scanner is for real-time analysis—it "looks" at your skin to create a report and then immediately deletes the image. The Gallery is your personal scrapbook. You choose which photos to upload here so you can see your transformation over time. What happens if I want to delete my photos? You have total control. You can delete any photo from your gallery at any time. Once you hit delete, the image is permanently removed from our servers. If you decide to close your account, all your data is wiped clean. **Why should I upload photos here instead of just keeping them on my phone?** By uploading to your SkinAura Gallery, your provider can see high-resolution, side-by-side comparisons of your skin’s health. It allows for a more accurate professional consultation, as your provider can zoom in on specific areas of concern (like texture or pigment) that the AI identified in your reports. Are these photos used to "train" the AI? No. We respect your privacy. Your personal progress photos are for your clinical journey only. We do not use your private gallery images to train our algorithms without your explicit, separate written consent.
