3D photography: exposing 5 myths

  Myths grow up around just about everything and 3D photography is no exception. Let’s zoom in on 5 common myths:  

3D PHOTOGRAPHY….

   

#1 TAKES TOO LONG

  3D photography can in fact help save you time. With our LifeViz® systems, 3D photographs are easy to take and automatically transferred, via Wi-Fi, to a computer. Patients can view a reconstructed 3D image of themselves on a screen in under a minute. Ideal for comparisons and monitoring progress, Before and After photos are automatically standardized and measurements/volume changes are generated in just one click. A valuable consultation ally, 3D photography puts time on your side.  

#2 IS WAY TOO COMPLICATED

  At Quantificare we are very aware of the importance of accessibility. That’s why our R&D team constantly strives to design software which is straightforward and user-friendly. Our processes are perfected using AI and streamlined for easy, effective, quick use. Comprehensive training is available to all our customers, so they know how to get the very best out of our 3D photography systems from the get-go. With a full year of technical support and access to software updates, 3D photography couldn’t be simpler.  

#3 IS NOT COST-EFFECTIVE

  An effective consultation is one where there is a meeting of minds. The patient needs to understand his/her options; the practitioner needs to understand what the patient wants and realistically manage expectations. 3D photography allows patients and practitioners to share a common vision. It highlights what is possible and clearly shows any progress over time, improving patient satisfaction and trust. Seeing positive change can motivate patients to consider further treatments, boosting your ROI. Investing in a LifeViz® 3D photographic system is tantamount to investing in the future of your patients and practice  

#4 IS NOT ACCURATE

  Facial or physical harmony is in the detail. Precision matters. Being able to accurately monitor change is important when it comes to aesthetic medical treatments. LifeViz® 3D photographic systems benefit from an accuracy of up to 8µ. The reliability and precision of our results is endorsed by their daily use in clinical studies at all stages of development, worldwide.  

#5 CAN’T BEAT 2D

  Aesthetic Medicine is about changing shapes and skin texture.Three-dimensional images improve visualization of skin structures otherwise difficult to view in two-dimensions. 3D images provide a full representation of a patient’s morphology, with views from multiple angles and at different zoom levels. Incorporating 3D images will completely eradicate the need for practitioners to interpret dimensions and volume from a 2D image alone. 3D puts 2D in the shade.  

Not a figment of your imagination

  3D photography, as opposed to 2D, is all about producing images with depth. It aims to duplicate, as closely as possible, what we can see with the human eye. As such, patients can interact with and more closely relate to what they are seeing during consultations, making decisions about immediate and future treatments more “real.” There is a persuasive and loyalty-building element to generating trust in what your eye is seeing. Myths, by definition, lack depth, which certainly cannot be said about the technology and benefits of 3D photography, especially within the context of clinical practice.
