Aura Reality is a Swiss-made 3D facial imaging system designed for the aesthetic consultation room. Built on Hexagon’s measurement technology, Aura captures a photorealistic 3D digital twin of a patient’s face and neck in 0.2 seconds — using 13 high-resolution cameras and 18 LED light units to produce approximately 575 megapixels of facial data with 0.1 mm accuracy. The platform delivers comprehensive skin analysis (wrinkles, pores, red areas, brown spots, texture), facial measurements, volumetric tracking, and before-and-after visualization — giving practitioners objective data and patients a shared visual language for consultation, treatment planning, and outcome documentation. Used by aesthetic clinics, dermatologists, plastic surgeons, and injectors worldwide. Recognised with the iF Design Award 2025.
