The use of artificial intelligence (AI) will soon be commonplace within the field of cosmetic dermatology. Current uses for AI in the discipline have focused on empowering patients to be more involved in treatment decisions with customizable skin care, augmented-reality applications, and at-home skin analysis tools. AI-driven skin analysis tools are also included in many dermatology practices with the development of three-dimensional facial reconstruction, including models for predicting clinical outcomes. We highlight current and developing applications of AI in cosmetic dermatology and provide insight into future modalities in this field. Dermatologists need to be well-informed about emerging technologies to better educate patients and enhance their clinical practices.
