What Is an Aura 3D Skin Scan? Here's What to Expect
ou look in the mirror every day, so it's easy to stop really seeing your skin. A spot that's slowly darkening, texture that's crept in, a little loss of volume on one side — those changes happen gradually, and the mirror isn't great at catching them.
That's exactly why we brought the Aura 3D Skin Scan to MPWR. It gives you and your provider a clear, objective look at your skin and facial structure, so every recommendation we make is based on what's actually there, not guesswork.
What is Aura?
Aura is a 3D facial imaging system developed by Hexagon, a Swiss company known for precision measurement technology. With a single capture, Aura creates a photo-realistic 3D model of your face and neck — essentially a digital twin — and uses AI-driven analysis to evaluate your skin.
Traditional photos are flat. A 3D model lets us rotate, zoom, and look at your face from every angle, the way other people actually see you.
What does the scan measure?
Your Aura scan gives us a detailed look at:
Texture and fine lines — where they are and how deep they go
Pigmentation — sun spots and uneven tone, including what's starting to form
Redness and visible vessels — areas of inflammation or sensitivity
Pores — size and distribution
Facial balance and volume — symmetry, proportions, and areas where volume has shifted
What happens during the appointment?
It's simple and completely non-invasive. You'll sit in front of the device with your hair pulled back, and the capture takes moments. Then the fun part: we walk through your 3D model together on screen and talk about what we see, what matters to you, and what's worth addressing first.
No pressure, no sales pitch — just a clear picture and an honest conversation.
What happens with my results?
Your results become the foundation for a personalized plan. That might include in-office treatments, at-home skincare, or both. Because we load MPWR's treatments and products into the system, your plan connects directly to what we can actually do for you.
And because your scan is saved, it becomes your baseline. Future scans let us compare side by side so you can see real, measurable progress over time.
Who is it for?
Honestly? Almost everyone.
New patients who want to start with a clear plan
Anyone feeling stuck with skincare that isn't delivering
Current patients who want to see how far they've come
Anyone considering injectables who wants to understand their facial structure first
