How the AI skin analysis works
This page explains the real pipeline mechanics: what gets measured, which modules run, and where the product’s limits begin.
What the system measures
Acne: visible inflammatory and surface lesion localization.
Pores: visible pore density, prominence, and zone distribution.
Redness: intensity and coverage of tone-uniformity disruptions.
Oiliness: shine and sebum distribution, especially across the T-zone.
Dark circles: under-eye contrast against the user’s own cheek reference.
Face symmetry: landmark-pair balance with a fitted ideal mask overlay.
Skin age: a complementary appearance-age estimate with a confidence band.
How the pipeline runs
The uploaded image is decoded on the backend, validated for size, and optionally auto-cropped around the face.
A 478-point face mesh and face-aware masks keep the analysis inside real skin zones rather than background pixels.
Seven parallel modules run: YOLO/SAHI for acne, blob detection for pores, LAB/YCrCb for redness, HSV/texture for oiliness, under-eye delta analysis for dark circles, landmark-pair scoring for face symmetry, and hairline/style framing from face shape plus upper-face landmarks.
After the visual modules finish, the app assembles derived metrics, a synchronized care plan, and the downloadable PDF report.
How the AI writing works
The language model receives only derived metrics, module summaries, and care-plan context.
The raw uploaded photo is not sent to Anthropic.
If the external AI call is unavailable, the system falls back to an internal report template.
What the system does not do
It does not provide a medical diagnosis or replace a dermatologist.
It does not rate attractiveness, symmetry, or ‘face value’ on this page.
It does not recommend sponsored products or run an affiliate skincare funnel.
