ModiFace Inc., developer of online makeover applications that employ face-recognition technology, announced nowadays that it is releasing embeddable versions of its popular HairMixer application (realistic hair-style simulation), as well as its LiftMagic application (virtual cosmetic surgery). These applications can be very easily integrated into partnering sites with all maintenance, load, and other operational details handled by ModiFace.
“The new widgets are fully-functional and customizable for the partner site,” remarked Lisa Leung, Director of Operations at ModiFace, Inc. “For example, for the hairstyling widget, website administrators and partner companies can upload and modify their own model hairstyles as often as they wish in order to offer whatever combination of hairstyles they desire.”
The hairstyling widget is based on the popular HairMixer application, which simulates what users would look like with virtually any hairstyle they can find on the web. A user can simply upload a high-quality frontal personal photo and choose the hairstyle that they would most like to have replicated. The application employs its rare face-recognition technology to coordinate the new hairstyle with the face represented in the original photo. The resulting simulation is a realistic representation of the photo’s subject wearing the desired hairstyle.
Additionally, ModiFace’s LiftMagic application, which simulates cosmetic surgery, is available in its widget style, the LiftMagic(TM) Facial Aesthetics Simulator (FAS). Similar to the original LiftMagic application, LiftMagic(TM) FAS allows users to imagine what their faces might look like after a face lift, lip augmentation, nose reshaping, weight reduction, or any combination of the four options. ModiFace has additionally released a Chinese version of the widget.
“LiftMagic(TM) FAS provides a realistic representation of the customer’s face after cosmetic surgery,” mentioned Leung. “For the Chinese version, we’ve additionally added an option to simulate eyelid surgery, a popular procedure in China.”
Along with the online widget line, ModiFace has developed a line of kiosks that the company will be placing inside clinics, malls, hair salons, fashion stores and other retail spaces across the U.S. and Canada. The kiosks take the customer’s picture directly, allowing the photo to be processed by any of ModiFace’s face-processing applications, including the widgets.
About ModiFace, Inc.
Founded in 2007 by University of Toronto professor Parham Aarabi, ModiFace Inc. utilizes advanced computer vision and image processing algorithms to imagine different facial operations including plastic surgery, facial aesthetic treatments and hairstyle changes. ModiFace’s patent-pending technologies empower consumers to redefine their images by automatically visualizing face enhancements, treatments and modifications.

Sensitive, troubled and photo-damaged skin can be a frustrating part of your life. There are skin irritations, cracked and painful skin, raw bleeding sores, or dry and scaly rashes and age spots.
These ailments can be tough to heal on their own, let alone when they have been worsened by contact with the harsh chemicals found in many popular skin care products.
Bio Skin Revitalizer stimulates the rebuilding of the skin matrix by triggering the proliferation of fibroblasts which are the cells in the basal layer of skin that are responsible for the production of all the structural elements of healthy skin
Fortunately, society with mature, troubled, and sensitive skin now have a better solution within their reach. Andes Natural Skin Care is pleased to announce the launch of a natural product with a dominant antioxidant and skin regenerative ingredient. Made with all-natural ingredients that act in synergy to rebuild damaged skin from within, Bio Skin Revitalizer is not just another skin treatment.
Bio Skin Revitalizer Serum for Treatment of Sensitive Skin offers a host of benefits to the user:
* It repairs damage to skin tissues, particularly in the case of photo-damage caused by UV radiation and the consequent release of free radicals
* It dissolves worn out and abnormal tissues and replaces them with healthy skin
* It improves the capacity of the skin to withhold water, creating a moisturizing effect that lasts
* It strengthens fragile skin tissues, helping them to resist the penetration of allergens
* It smooths and reduces abnormal, hypertrophic and keloid scars
* It dissolves keratosis pilaris plugs and psoriasis & actinic keratosis scales
The keystone biological ingredient, Helix Aspersa Müller Glycoconjugates, is a secretion created by and gathered from live snails of that species. After being collected in a humane, non-harmful process, it is stabilized so that hydrolysis of its enzymes, antioxidants and proteins is avoided.
The serum is a mighty antioxidant and its regenerative properties have been validated by scientific research published in the January 2008 issue of the Journal of Pharmacology and Physiology of the Skin, as we announced in a preceding press release.
The serum has the capacity to speed the dissolution of damaged cells and tissues, trigger the regeneration of skin structures and strengthen the skin’s mechanical properties. The superior regenerative properties of that biological serum are due to its complex structure, with biochemical capabilities that are superior to any synthetic formulation yet available within the limits of contemporary science.
The other components of the formulation are plus natural, including stabilized vitamin C, seaweed extracts, and Hyaluonic Acid. All three are well known for their positive effects on the skin. It is 100% natural, non-comedogenic, hypoallergenic, and recommended for users of all ages.
“Bio Skin Revitalizer stimulates the rebuilding of the skin matrix by triggering the proliferation of fibroblasts which are the cells in the basal layer of skin that are responsible for the production of all the structural elements of healthy skin,” says its founder and CEO, Humberto del Pozo.
“The product is one hundred percent natural, and the rich biological ingredient is gathered without harming any of the little creatures which supply us their precious serum by and by again. The serum is an original innate immune system support for snails’ skin and other organs of its body, and a renewable resource for human skin revitalizing. We incorporate that supreme ingredient in all the products in our Biocutis skin care line.

* The benefits of Bio Skin Revitalizer for sensitive skin
* The benefits of Bio Skin Revitalizer for aging skin
