Problem
A significant portion of patients seeking aesthetic procedures may have underlying mental health conditions, such as Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), anxiety, or depression, which can lead to unrealistic expectations and dissatisfaction with outcomes. Current pre-treatment assessments are often time-consuming, difficult to interpret, or lack the sensitivity to reliably identify at-risk individuals, potentially compromising patient well-being and ethical care standards.
Solution
PREPÆRE provides a digital platform that integrates mental health screening into the aesthetic medicine workflow, enabling practitioners to assess patient psychological readiness for cosmetic procedures. The platform offers a streamlined, research-backed questionnaire that patients complete prior to consultation, identifying potential concerns such as BDD, anxiety, or unrealistic expectations. Based on the assessment results, PREPÆRE generates actionable insights and recommendations for practitioners, facilitating informed decision-making and ensuring patients receive appropriate support. This approach aims to enhance patient safety, improve treatment outcomes, and uphold ethical standards within the aesthetic industry.
