EveLab Insight is at the forefront of blending skin health and artificial intelligence. The company is reimagining the future of skin care by prioritizing the science underpinning the beauty industry and harnessing technology to propel innovation. EveLab Insight’s AI solutions have garnered recognition from over 400 global skincare brands, including AmorePacific, Shiseido, and Dior, enabling bespoke skincare regimens, effective product efficacy monitoring, and robust R&D process.
As part of EveLab’s commitment to science-powered AI building, the team released the preliminary results of a groundbreaking study at the 2023 International Societies of Investigative Dermatology (ISID) meeting in Japan, revealing new insights into skin aging patterns. By analyzing the skin condition of over 430,000 participants across different regions and ethnicities, the research showed that smile-related wrinkles like crow’s feet and nasolabial folds tend to accelerate as early as ages 23 to 24 and stabilize by the early 50s, while anger- and sadness-related wrinkles, such as marionette and frown lines, typically appear around age 30 and plateau by the late 50s. These findings resulted from a collaborative effort led by the Joint Laboratory for Skin Analysis & Digital Standardization (Lab-SADS) and powered by EveLab Insight’s AI-driven skin analysis platform.
EveLab Insight’s proprietary technology can be experienced through its flagship platform, the Eve V Panoramic AI Skin Analysis System. Featuring five 16MP cameras and structured light technology, this system captures high-resolution 3D facial contours and detailed skin images across various spectrums. Powered by AI capable of analyzing more than 40 dimensions of facial skin condition, the system delivers personalized skincare recommendations in just 25 seconds, unlocking the full potential for anyone to possess healthy skin.
The Challenge and Promise of Building AI Solutions for Skin Care
Developing an AI-driven skin analysis platform presents unique challenges, particularly in ensuring accuracy and inclusivity across diverse populations. EveLab Insight’s commitment to scientific accuracy is matched by its dedication to addressing skin health inclusively. “Our strength lies in our proprietary algorithms that detect skin condition issues with consistency and accuracy across all ethnicities,” explains Eagle Lee, CEO of EveLab Insight. The company’s deep learning models, protected by 40+ patents and trained on over 10 million annotated data points, provide precise and actionable insights for skincare professionals and researchers.
The Eve V Panoramic AI Skin Analysis System leverages these algorithms to conduct comprehensive skin analyses, providing a holistic view of skin conditions for dermatologists and R&D teams. Mr. Lee continues: “By training our models on diverse input from populations worldwide, we ensure our algorithms are both accurate and culturally adaptable”. To mitigate bias in AI development, EveLab Insight adheres to the following key principles:
- Objective and clear standards: Establish skincare standards based on scientific and objective criteria, including skin health indicators (moisture content, elasticity, etc.) and common skin issues (acne, pigmentation, etc). This approach emphasizes personalized skincare goals over rigid aesthetic ideals.
- Input from advisory experts: Collaborate with leading dermatologists and beauty experts from diverse regions to enhance algorithm accuracy and cultural adaptability.
- Extensive and diverse insights: Gather insights from populations across various skin tones, ethnicities, and regions.
- Optimization and feedback mechanisms: Use cross-validation to ensure consistency across demographics, optimizing algorithms to minimize cultural biases. Encourage merchants to provide feedback for understanding algorithm adaptability across cultures. Maintain transparency in algorithm operations based on objective skin metrics.
