🪨 FIRMNESS INDEX

What Is the Firmness Index?

The Firmness Index reflects how taut, structured, and well-supported the skin appears under normal lighting conditions. It focuses on visible firmness cues that influence how lifted or relaxed the skin surface looks at rest.

This index is appearance-based and cosmetic only. It does not measure tissue density, collagen levels, or biological skin strength.

Why the Firmness Index Matters for Skin Appearance

Visible firmness plays a key role in overall facial and skin structure. Firm-looking skin often appears more defined and supported. Firmness-related appearance can influence:

  • The appearance of facial contours and definition
  • How lifted or settled the skin looks
  • The visibility of sagging or looseness cues
  • Overall skin balance and structure

When firmness appears balanced, the skin often looks more sculpted and visually supported, even without changes to texture or tone.

What Can Influence the Firmness Index

Everyday, non-medical factors that may influence visible firmness include:

  • Skin hydration and moisture balance
  • Consistency of skincare routines
  • Environmental exposure such as dryness
  • Lighting direction and shadows
  • Recent skincare or cosmetic application

These factors affect how firm the skin appears visually rather than indicating structural changes beneath the surface.

How Mizics Estimates the Firmness Index

Mizics analyses contour stability, edge definition, and surface transitions across visible skin areas. By examining how well the skin maintains its shape in relation to natural contours, the system estimates firmness-related appearance characteristics.

This estimation is completed within seconds using photo-based analysis and does not require storing your image.
