September 14, 2026 // Franchising.com // MINNEAPOLIS, MN. – FACE FOUNDRIÉ, the nation’s fastest-growing woman-owned facial bar redefining the skincare industry, is furthering its commitment to innovation with the nationwide rollout of its AI Skin Scanner, a proprietary technology that uses artificial intelligence to calculate a personalized skin analysis.
The AI Skin Scanner assesses seven key skin biomarkers, including hydration, oiliness, pore size, pore content and inflammation potential, pigmentation and wrinkles. It then pairs these results with a brief lifestyle and skincare questionnaire to generate personalized recommendations, tailored specifically to FACE FOUNDRIÉ’s service menu. Each scan syncs directly to the FACE FOUNDRIÉ mobile app, allowing clients to view their results and track their progress over time.
“Technology is strengthening the relationship between our estheticians and clients while helping us advance the way we approach personalized skincare,” said Michele Henry, Founder and CEO of FACE FOUNDRIÉ. “Our new AI Skin Scanner gives every client a deeper understanding of their skin, while also providing our estheticians with valuable insights to create more personalized service plans and deliver better results. It’s another way we’re using innovation to enhance the client experience, while keeping the expertise and personal connection of our estheticians at the center.”
As consumer demand continues to grow for more tailored wellness experiences, FACE FOUNDRIÉ is investing in technology that makes professional skincare more precise, consistent, and accessible. The AI Skin Scanner reflects the brand’s commitment to advancing the client experience, while giving estheticians additional tools to support stronger skincare outcomes.
The technology also supports FACE FOUNDRIÉ’s expanding franchise system, with 19 new locations opened so far this year. By integrating the AI Skin Scanner across its stores, the brand can provide franchisees with a consistent approach to skin assessments and service recommendations while maintaining a cohesive client experience across locations, helping to support membership retention and long-term skincare goals.
The launch comes as FACE FOUNDRIÉ celebrates another major milestone after earning a spot on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies, ranking 1,142. The recognition reflects the brand’s continued growth and momentum as it expands its footprint and invests in the future of the business.
