It streamlines a traditionally two-step process into a single, 10-minute application.

Key features include:

  • AI-Powered Analysis: Users take a photo of a scar with a smartphone app. The AI then analyzes the image, classifies the scar into one of 12 types, and determines the appropriate treatment.

  • Custom Color Matching: Simultaneously, the device blends and sprays an optimal mix from over 180 colors to perfectly match the user's skin tone, effectively concealing the scar.

The device was praised for its user-friendly design, allowing real-time monitoring and control through a smartphone, making advanced treatment accessible to consumers.
