Illustrative simulation: what the Harmy projection is
An illustrative simulation is an image that represents a possibility, made to explain and not to promise. In Harmy, it is the correct name for the projection: the "after" image the app generates from the patient's frontal photo, the marked areas and the volume planned for each one.
How is the projection made?
You take or choose a frontal photo, tap the points of the areas to treat and set the volume in ml for each. The photo is sent to a third-party AI, with your consent in the app, which generates the "after" image. The result appears in a Before and After slider, and "Show procedures" displays the ml of each area over the image.
The AI respects the volume, and the request made to it forbids makeup, skin retouching and changes to expression, background, hair and lighting. The projection changes only what was marked. That is why the changes tend to be subtle.
Why is it not a promise of results?
Because the image is generated from a 2D photo, with no access to the real anatomy: skin thickness, bone structure, vascularity, response to the product, swelling and the technique of whoever injects. Two patients with similar photos can have different results. The simulation is for aligning expectations, showing the effect of each area and supporting the decision, never for guaranteeing an outcome.
That is why every image shared from Harmy carries the simulation notice. It is worth recording in the informed consent that the patient saw a simulation and understood it is not a promise. For publicity, follow what the page on what may be publicized says, under the rules of Brazil's professional boards.
Also called: projection, simulation, results preview.
Frequently asked questions
Does the Harmy projection show the final result of the procedure?
No. It is an illustrative simulation generated by AI to support the conversation between professional and patient. The actual result depends on anatomy, product, technique and each person's response.
Can I post the projection as a before and after?
Not as if it were a result. The projection is a simulation and must always be presented as such, following your professional board's rules on publicity.
