Overview
Symetri is built for two distinct workflows: creating clinical documentation and presenting results to patients in real time. This guide covers the presentation features — Slider View, Presentation Mode, and AirPlay mirroring.Comparison Modes
Before presenting, switch to the mode that works best for the context.Side by Side
Both images shown simultaneously. Default view. Works on any screen size.
Top / Bottom
Before on top, after below. Best for treatments where vertical change is most visible.
Slider
A draggable divider reveals before or after. Most engaging for in-room presentations.
Preview
Shows exactly what the exported image looks like, including branding. Use to show the patient their social media post before consent.
Slider View In-Room Tips
The slider is the most powerful tool for in-room patient conversations.Hand the Phone to the Patient
Patients instinctively understand the swipe gesture. Letting them control the slider creates a moment of personal discovery — far more emotionally resonant than you showing them.Walk Through the Changes
Start the slider all the way to the left (full before). Slowly drag right while talking through each visible change. This paces the conversation and creates a narrative.Double-Tap to Zoom
In Slider view, double-tap anywhere on the image to zoom in 2×. Tap and drag to move around while zoomed — useful for showing fine details like lip border, eye area, or skin texture changes. To zoom back out: Double-tap again, or pinch to zoom out.Presentation Mode (Full-Screen / AirPlay)
Presentation Mode is designed for showing comparisons on an external display — an Apple TV, connected iPad, or any AirPlay-compatible screen in your consultation room.What It Does
- Goes completely full-screen on your iPhone — status bar and navigation disappear
- Simultaneously mirrors to any connected AirPlay display in full-screen black
- The external display shows only the clean before/after comparison — no UI, no controls
- You control the slider from your phone while the patient sees the comparison on screen
How to Enter Presentation Mode
1
Open the case in the editor
2
Switch to Slider view
3
Tap the TV icon in the top right corner
4
If AirPlay is already connected, the presentation appears on the external display immediately
How to Exit
Tap anywhere on the screen — the End button fades in. Tap it to exit Presentation Mode.Setting Up AirPlay
Apple TV (Recommended)
The most reliable setup. An Apple TV connected to a wall-mounted screen allows professional wireless mirroring with no cables.1
Connect Apple TV to your screen via HDMI
2
Connect Apple TV to the same Wi-Fi network as your iPhone
3
On your iPhone, swipe down from the top right to open Control Center
4
Tap Screen Mirroring and select your Apple TV
5
Open Symetri and enter Presentation Mode
Smart TV with Built-in AirPlay
Many modern smart TVs (LG, Samsung, Sony) support AirPlay 2 natively. Check your TV’s input list for “Apple AirPlay” and enable it, then follow the same Screen Mirroring steps.iPad on a Stand
For practices without a wall-mounted screen, an iPad on an arm or stand works well.1
Both iPhone and iPad must be on the same Wi-Fi and signed into the same Apple ID
2
On iPad: Settings → General → AirPlay & Handoff → AirPlay Receiver → On
3
Mirror your iPhone to the iPad via Control Center → Screen Mirroring
4
Open Symetri and enter Presentation Mode — the iPad shows the clean comparison
Use a 10–13” iPad. Smaller iPads don’t add much over showing the iPhone directly. Larger iPads make the comparison significantly more visible.
Wired (HDMI Adapter)
For maximum reliability with no Wi-Fi dependency:- iPhone 15 and later: USB-C to HDMI adapter
- iPhone 14 and earlier: Lightning to Digital AV Adapter
Consultation Room Layout
Showing Comparable Cases (Pre-Treatment)
When a prospective patient hasn’t had treatment yet, show them comparable cases from your library to illustrate what’s achievable.Privacy Protocol
Only show cases where the patient consented to being shown to other patients. Confirm eye blur is enabled before opening the case. Use your naming convention to quickly identify consented vs. records-only cases.Workflow
- From the Cases list, open a case that represents a similar treatment and baseline.
- Enter Slider view or Presentation Mode.
- Walk through the comparison, explaining the treatment, timeline, and what factors influenced the result.
Group Consultations & Events
For medspa events or group consultations:- Use a 55”+ TV with Apple TV for groups of 5–10.
- Prepare 3–5 cases representing different treatments and baselines in advance — alignment confirmed, eye blur applied.
- Name cases with numbers for easy sequencing:
01 - Lips,02 - Forehead - Navigate between cases on your iPhone without the audience seeing the case list.
