Beauty Mirror App Allows Users to Experience Virtual Plastic Surgery

Making the commitment to undergo plastic surgery can be a daunting decision for many potential patients. Not only is plastic surgery a significant financial investment, but it is not uncommon for those considering a procedure to feel anxious at the thought of invasive surgery.

Thankfully, a new app offers automatic enhancements of “selfie” pictures, perfect for subtlety correcting the lines, wrinkles and dark under-eyes we all wish we could do without.

Beauty Mirror is highly touted as not only a great way to enhance Facebook and Instagram pictures, but as a virtual plastic surgery tool for those considering a cosmetic procedure.

How the Beauty Mirror app works

Beauty Mirror is not meant to create drastic changes in users’ appearance, but focuses on the subtle nuances showing age or sun damage. When a user uploads a photo, the Beauty Mirror technology is able to fixate on “problem areas,” quickly fixing them and providing the user with a beautifully-retouched image for upload.

Toronto-based CEO Parham Aarabi further explained the endeavor: “Our idea was to apply a subtle, realistic change to a person’s reflection so that when someone put it on Facebook no one would know it was an altered video.” With the influx of selfies and their accompanying apps, an increase in plastic surgery procedures has inevitably followed, and Aarabi is hoping to allow users the opportunity to see into the future before going under the knife.

Virtual beauty apps expanding

Similar virtual beauty apps have cropped up in other areas of cosmetology, including:

• Makeup
• Hair design
• and Skin care

For instance, Makeup Genius – developed by French cosmetic company L’Oreal – is a new breed of makeup application designed to give users the opportunity to test makeup shades before committing to a purchase. Like Beauty Mirror, Makeup Genius, and dozens of other similar designs, are available for iPhone and iPad. While many virtual beauty apps come free of charge, advanced or customized options may cost users a few dollars to download.
