On January 12, 2021, Meitu announced that MeituEve has reached a strategic cooperation agreement with Shiseido’s new anti-aging brand EFFECTIM. EFFECTIM will offer more AWASE Solutions for customers through a combination of Smart 3D Skin Analysis*, cutting-edge skin care products and professional beauty devices.


Smart 3D Skin Analysis plays an important role in EFFECTIM’s services by helping customers scientifically analyze the condition of their skin and understand the key focus of their custom anti-aging plan. EFFCTIM’s staff are able to customize an AWASE Solution for customers based on their specific skin analysis data. MeituEve is the only partner with which EFFECTIM has chosen to jointly develop Smart 3D Skin analysis services.


EFFECTIM is releasing a Smart 3D Skin Diagnosis feature based on MeituEve’s self-developed facial recognition and MT segmentation technologies. By selecting 18 of the most important indexes of skin aging to detect, and analyzing skin aging conditions from multiple dimensions, the Smart 3D Skin Diagnosis will help customers understand the key points of their anti-aging plan with precise solutions offered by EFFECTIM.
