3D Face & Body Imaging in London

What is 3D Face & Body Analysis?

QuantifiCare 3D Analysis is an advanced imaging system that captures high-resolution, three-dimensional photographs of the face and body. Unlike standard 2D photography, 3D imaging provides volumetric measurements and true-to-life reconstructions. It quantifies even subtle changes in skin surface, contours, and volume, making it an invaluable tool for dermatology and aesthetic medicine.

At Skinhorizon Clinic, we use QuantifiCare technology to document baseline anatomy, track progression of conditions, and objectively measure the outcomes of interventions. Whether evaluating scarring, skin laxity, asymmetry, or treatment results, 3D analysis delivers measurable evidence and patient reassurance. The ability to compare “before and after” scans in three dimensions ensures transparency, accuracy, and confidence in clinical decision-making. It is especially useful alongside treatments such as dermal fillers for facial contour, Endolift laser, fractional CO₂ laser, and body contouring & fat reduction.

When is it recommended?

3D imaging is recommended whenever precise documentation or monitoring is required. Typical applications include:

• Anti-ageing assessment: Detects early changes in skin laxity, sagging, and volume loss — supports planning for wrinkle reduction and facial volume restoration.
• Scar monitoring: Provides objective measurement of acne scars and guides acne scar treatment.
• Symmetry analysis: Essential for facial aesthetics, injectables, and reconstructive dermatology.
• Treatment planning: Baselines before lasers (vascular & pigmentation laser, fractional CO₂), Endolift, fillers, or body contouring ensure measurable results.
• Follow-up documentation: Patients can see exact improvements, increasing compliance and satisfaction.
• Research and evidence: Supports objective outcome tracking for clinical audits and studies.

How it works

1. Initial consultation: We review your concerns and determine the areas for imaging.
2. 3D capture: Multiple high-resolution images are taken in a controlled environment using QuantifiCare’s system.
3. Software reconstruction: Images are stitched into a precise 3D model with measurable data.
4. Analysis: Our consultant interprets contour maps, volumetric data, and symmetry indicators.
5. Feedback & plan: You review the 3D model with your consultant, who explains findings and next steps.
6. Repeat imaging: Follow-ups allow accurate comparison, tracking even subtle changes over time.

What can it help assess?

• Facial volume loss and asymmetry
• Early sagging and laxity around cheeks, jawline, and neck
• Post-treatment results (laser, injectables, body contouring)
• Progression or improvement of scars
• Body contouring changes, including fat reduction or muscle strengthening
• Photoageing effects, including fine lines and wrinkles

The detail and reproducibility of QuantifiCare imaging set it apart from traditional photography. Instead of relying on subjective “before and after” comparisons, 3D analysis provides numerical and visual proof of progress.

Preparation

• Arrive without heavy makeup; light skincare is fine.
• Avoid fake tanning products in the week before imaging.
• Wear neutral clothing if body areas are being scanned, to avoid reflections.
• For consistent comparisons, schedule follow-ups at similar times of day.

Safety & limitations

QuantifiCare imaging is entirely safe and non-invasive. It involves controlled visible light photography without radiation or UV exposure. The main limitation is the need for consistent positioning; patient posture and expression can affect comparisons, which is why standardised protocols are followed strictly at Skinhorizon.

Results & follow-up

Images and 3D reconstructions are reviewed immediately after capture. You’ll see a lifelike model of your face or body, with colour-coded contour maps and volume measurements. These results are explained clearly and linked to your treatment plan. Follow-up scans are performed at agreed intervals (often 8–12 weeks after interventions) to demonstrate improvements and adjust care accordingly.
