Wrinkle Alert lets patients track how their botulinum toxin treatment is performing, directly from their iPhone. Using the phone's built-in 3D face scanner, the app measures the activity of specific facial muscles before and after treatment, and translates the difference into an indication of remaining toxin activity.

Every measurement is stored with its photo, so successive readings can be compared and the effect of different toxins and doses assessed over a defined timeframe, useful for individual follow-up and for comparative studies alike.

Treatment data can be shared with the treating physician, enabling remote follow-up and timely advice without requiring an in-person visit. Practitioners can issue personalised app licences to their own patients: a way to recruit new patients, keep existing ones engaged, and bring them back to the practice at the right moment.
