Dr. Diala Haykal, a cosmetic doctor and laser expert based in Paris, at the AIDA 11 Abu Dhabi International Conference for Dermatology and Aesthetics.
Dr. Haykal discusses two key topics she’s presenting at the conference:
- Prejuvenation Trend: This focuses on starting anti-aging treatments before the first visible wrinkles appear, emphasizing non-invasive methods, natural results, and educating Gen Z and Gen Alpha to combat misinformation on social media.
- Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Healthcare, particularly Aesthetics and Cosmetic Dermatology: Dr. Haykal explains how AI can transform clinics into “intelligent hubs” to enhance expertise, diagnostics, and patient outcomes. AI can assist throughout the patient pathway, from consultation and diagnosis (e.g., better skin diagnosis) to precise treatment procedures (AI-based injections, real-time monitoring) and post-procedure follow-up (predicting complications). She strongly emphasizes that AI is not meant to replace doctors but rather to augment their capabilities, stating, “doctors who use AI will replace those who don’t use AI in their clinics and surgeries.”
The interview highlights the significant role of AI in dermatology, especially given its reliance on image analysis, where AI’s computer vision and machine learning algorithms can provide more precise and tailored treatments. Dr. Haykal invites all stakeholders to adopt this technology responsibly.
She also reiterates the importance of prevention over rejuvenation in cosmetic dermatology, advocating for early intervention and education, particularly for younger generations.
Dr. Haykal expresses her positive experience at the AIDA conference, noting its comprehensive nature, diverse participants, and valuable sessions.
