They can be used either to solve problems like acne, pigmentation and hair fall, or for goal-driven skin & hair improvement over time. Cureskin doesn’t just focus on immediate problems but also helps in maintenance after the first consultation is done ensuring that results and goals for the individual are met.
Use of Digital Technology
CureSkin extensively uses digital technology for assessment of skin & hair health. The results are then verified by doctors to design the personalized treatments and regular follow-ups included in the program. The digital technology of Cureskin helps about 10000 patients daily.
CureSkin applies deep learning-based image recognition to automatically detect conditions from photos. CureSkin’s robot detects several types of problems such as different types of acne, post-acne problems such as blemishes, spots, scars, and also conditions like dark under-eye circles, and pigmentation. This technology is built over a repository of over several millions of photos and analyses pixel-level and pore-level attributes. The technology works with different skin-types, face-angles and lighting conditions, for the most accurate representation of skin.
