Personalized Safety in Every Session
Laser treatments can produce impressive results, but they also carry risks such as burns, scarring, or uneven skin tone. Dr. Kesty recognized that many complications occur when providers use generic settings or lack experience with different skin types.

Dr. Kesty’s AI tool analyzes patient photos and evaluates skin on several clinical scales, then recommends specific devices and settings for each individual. This technology draws from Dr. Kesty’s years of hands-on experience and research, giving providers access to insights that might otherwise take years to acquire.
This process helps clinics move away from a one-size-fits-all mentality. Providers receive guidance tailored to each patient’s needs, which may help reduce the chances of adverse reactions. The AI system can also flag potential risks before treatment begins, giving providers an extra layer of support.
“Our goal is to help every provider feel prepared, no matter their background,” Dr. Kesty explained. “AI can offer a second set of eyes, especially when staff are new or learning. It is like having a trusted colleague in the room, one who never gets tired.” She adds.

Supporting Clinics and Building Confidence
New staff often require extensive training before performing laser procedures. Dr. Kesty’s AI tool offers detailed, case-specific recommendations that clinics can use as a reference during treatments. This support can help clinics save time on training while still focusing on patient safety.
The system also generates injectables treatment plans, such as for botox and fillers, which broadens its usefulness for clinics offering multiple cosmetic services. Dr. Kesty has published several studies on AI in dermatology, sharing her findings with the wider medical community.
“We want to make advanced care more accessible to patients everywhere,” she said. She often hears from providers who say the tool gives them peace of mind, knowing they have extra support for each case.

Strengthening Safer Cosmetic Treatments
St. Petersburg Skin and Laser has served as the testing ground for this technology, with positive feedback from both patients and colleagues. The clinic has reported steady growth and continues to build interest among providers who want to improve their services. Dr. Kesty’s team is considering future collaborations with device manufacturers to make the AI tool available to more clinics.
Dr. Kesty remains focused on education and patient outcomes as technology advances. She believes that AI can help clinics deliver consistent, safe results by offering guidance based on clinical experience and research. As more providers explore digital tools, the possibilities for safer cosmetic procedures continue to grow—giving both patients and providers more reasons to feel confident about every treatment.
