The Role of Educational Interactive Virtual Simulation App in Aesthetic Medicine and Cosmetic Dermatology Preclinical Skills.
Article in Journal of cosmetic dermatology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe rapid progress in the field of aesthetic medicine and cosmetic dermatology drives the demand for skilled healthcare practitioners able to provide safe, complex treatments accurately and confidently. Traditional training approaches, which emphasize didactic teaching and little hands-on experience, typically fail to prepare postgraduate students for these challenges. We hypothesized that interactive visual simulation may improve preclinical competency in aesthetic medicine and cosmetic dermatology.
aimsThe aim of this study is to explore the impact of interactive visual simulations 3D app on the development of preclinical skills in aesthetic medicine and cosmetic dermatology.
methodsThe study was designed as a mixed-methods approach, which combined quantitative analysis of simulation performance data with quantitative feedback from participants. The study is based on a purposive sample of 25 healthcare professionals enrolled in aesthetic medicine postgraduate training programs at the Queen Mary University of London (QMUL). Data were collected through post-training assessment questionnaires and performance metrics during simulations.
resultsThe findings clearly emphasized an improvement in the proficiency and confidence of participants who trained using interactive visual simulations. Trainees reported a greater sense of realism and immersion in their training, which helped them better understand the spatial relationships and anatomical structures involved in aesthetic procedures. Additionally, participants expressed increased confidence in their ability to perform these procedures on real patients.
conclusionThe study found that interactive visual simulation may help to improve aesthetic medicine and cosmetic dermatology preclinical competency. This technology has the potential to offer a better training experience than traditional approaches, resulting in more confident and skilled healthcare practitioners who can conduct difficult and safe aesthetic interventions.
