Amorepacific has unveiled research that visualizes the progression of facial aging using artificial intelligence (AI) image analysis technology.
On June 12, during the International Society of Biophysics and Imaging in Dermatology (ISBS World Congress 2026) held in Lyon, France, Amorepacific announced the results of its AI-based facial aging pattern analysis.
The company’s R&I Center presented a 'Facial Aging Map' that visually illustrates the onset and spread of aging in facial areas based on images of Korean faces.
The research team utilized AI to align facial images according to a standardized criterion, extracting information on wrinkles and pigmentation by area and integrating it into a single standardized facial image for visual analysis of overall aging progression.
The findings revealed that wrinkles and pigmentation develop along different pathways. Wrinkles primarily begin around the eyes and spread to areas with significant changes in expression and structure, while pigmentation first appears on the cheeks and under the eyes before expanding across the face.
Unlike previous studies that focused on measuring the depth of wrinkles or the degree of pigmentation in specific areas, this research distinguishes itself by visually representing the spatial characteristics of aging across the entire face.
Amorepacific explained that this approach allows for a more intuitive understanding of the sequence of aging in different areas and opens up possibilities for developing skin assessment methods based on aging characteristics.
Earlier this year, Amorepacific showcased its next-generation electronic skin platform, 'SkinSight,' at CES 2026 in Las Vegas, which analyzes the causes of skin aging in real-time and offers personalized solutions.
Seo Byeong-hwi, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Amorepacific's R&I Center, stated, "This research visualizes the progression of skin aging based on the AI imaging technology and skin analysis capabilities that Amorepacific has accumulated over the years."
