State-of-the-Art 3D Imaging with Vectra H2

In his practice, he works as one of only a very few aesthetic surgeons in Düsseldorf with Vectra H2, the leading 3D imaging solution used in plastic surgery.

Why 3D Technology?

→Precise analysis: High-resolution 3D images reveal the finest details of facial structure

→Realistic simulation: Visualisation of possible treatment outcomes before the procedure

→Objective documentation: Progress monitoring through exact before-and-after comparisons

→Individual planning: Treatment tailored precisely to your anatomical characteristics

Holistic Approach at artethic®

The ageing process in the face is based on various criteria – alongside changes in skin texture, these include collagen and volume loss. It is therefore important to take all factors into account and treat them individually.

The entire portfolio of his private practice – from skin analysis and medical cosmetic treatments through to the broad treatment spectrum of plastic and aesthetic surgery – has recently been brought together by Dr. Karl Schuhmann under the brand artethic®.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do you use 3D / AI systems for?

We use 3D imaging systems such as Vectra H2 for precise analysis of facial structures, for visualising possible treatment outcomes, and for objective documentation of progress. AI-supported systems assist with skin analysis and treatment planning. Medical planning, decision-making, and execution remain entirely in experienced hands.

What advantages do these technologies offer me as a patient?

You benefit from greater transparency through 3D visualisations before treatment, can develop more realistic expectations, and receive objective progress monitoring through before-and-after comparisons. The precise analysis enables more individualised treatment plans tailored exactly to your anatomical characteristics.

What is Vectra H2 and how does it work?

Vectra H2 is the leading 3D imaging solution in plastic surgery. The system creates high-resolution 3D images of your face and enables precise analyses of volume loss, skin texture, and proportions. This allows us to simulate treatment outcomes in advance and objectively document progress.

How is data protection handled for 3D images?

Patient data is processed in strict compliance with GDPR. Sensitive processes such as 3D analyses are performed locally within our practice without outsourcing to third parties. All images and data are subject to medical confidentiality and are used exclusively for your medical treatment.

Does technology replace medical expertise?

No, definitely not. Technology is a valuable tool to support medical work – it visualises, analyses, and documents. The actual treatment planning, medical assessment, and surgical execution are based on years of experience and remain entirely in the hands of our medical team.

For which treatments do you use these technologies?

We use 3D imaging and AI-supported analyses across our entire treatment spectrum – from skin analysis for medical cosmetic treatments to filler and botulinum toxin injections, through to surgical procedures such as facelifts, eyelid surgery, or rhinoplasty. The technology helps us to plan the individually best possible outcome for each patient.
