The technology analyzes four key skin metrics—wrinkles, firmness, acne, and dark spots—to determine the ideal LED light color for each user’s specific concerns. For example, red light is recommended for its anti-aging effects, which help reduce wrinkles and improve firmness, while blue light is suggested for acne-prone skin. The result is a hyper-personalized skincare journey that helps users choose the right treatment from UNICSKIN’s new LED mask collection with greater confidence and clarity.
From Skin Insights to Light Therapy: Scaling AI Across the Skincare Journey
Perfect Corp.’s AI Skin Analysis was first launched on UNICSKIN’s website through the “InstaSkin Pro” tool, which delivers product recommendations for serums, creams, and other skincare solutions. Building on the success of that feature, UNICSKIN has now added a dedicated AI-powered experience specifically tailored for its LED mask lineup: the InstaSkin Pro 5.0, further strengthening its commitment to precision skincare through technology.
Frictionless E-Commerce Shopping Experience, Powered by AI
The solution is enabled through Perfect Corp.’s AI Skin Analysis Widget Mode that allows for rapid deployment with minimal technical overhead. The AI Widget Mode’s Plug & Play access, available through Perfect Corp’s Console, delivers a ready-to-use UI and UX experience, along with simplified customization. This generates an instant skin assessment and a customized product routine that adapts to each user’s needs.
With this implementation, UNICSKIN empowers consumers to make more informed skincare decisions through real-time skin insights, while streamlining product discovery in a fast-growing segment of at-home beauty tech.
Turning Data Into Beauty Decisions for At-Home Skincare Innovation
“As skincare continues to evolve, consumers are embracing a wide range of solutions—from serums and creams to innovative beauty devices,” said Alice Chang, Founder and CEO of Perfect Corp. “We’re proud to see our AI Skin Analysis technology supporting this shift by extending into new categories such as LED masks. It’s also a pleasure to continue growing our collaboration with UNICSKIN, following the success of our initial work together on InstaSkin Pro.”

UNICSKIN Integrates Perfect Corp.’s AI Skin Analysis to Personalize LED Mask Recommendations Online
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump marked his 80th birthday on Sunday by hailing an initial agreement to end the war in Iran and staging a once unfathomable cage-fighting show on the storied South Lawn of the White House.
Trump had been touting the emerging deal for weeks, and last-minute strikes in the conflict had threatened to overshadow the ostentatious UFC mixed martial arts extravaganza — where combatants sealed inside a wire-mesh octagon try to punch, kick, chop and pummel each other into submission.
Hours ahead of the fight starting, however, the president said an agreement to end the conflict “is now complete." He declared that the U.S. will end its blockade of Iran, and that Strait of Hormuz would reopen, potentially easing high oil prices and skittish global markets. But the crucial details are still to be negotiated.
Word of the deal was a prefight present for Trump but his focus quickly shifted to UFC. Top administration officials and Republican leaders attended, including FBI Director Kash Patel and House Speaker Mike Johnson. Polish President Karol Nawrocki was spotted heading into the White House for it, too.
Trump and White walked together from the Oval Office to the Blue Room Balcony to survey the Octagon and stood for the National Anthem as fighter jets thundered overhead. The crowd chanted “USA! USA!”
More than 4,000 spectators were invited to a temporary arena under “ The Claw,” a spaceship-like metal arch fitted with lighting, sound equipment and large screens. Thousands more watched on big screens from the nearby Ellipse.
“This event is a one of one event, incredible event. I love it,” said UFC chief Dana White, a close friend of the president, during a Friday night hype session at the Lincoln Memorial where pairs of fighters shoved and scuffled for the cameras under the stoic gaze of Honest Abe’s marble likeness.
The president has sought to tie Sunday’s event to larger, months-long celebrations of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. But it is much more geared toward feting himself, so much so that the G7 summit for leaders of industrialized nations pushed back their get-together so that the president could attend his cage-match party and then fly straight to France for the meetings.
The weekend hasn’t been all smiles for the president, meanwhile. Crews spent part of the weekend prying the president’s name off the Kennedy Center about a mile from Trump’s birthday bash after a judge ruled naming it after Trump had gone too far.
And, before the fight began, UFC Middleweight champion Sean Strickland — an outspoken critic of Israel — was escorted out of the Ellipse by a crowd of law enforcement officers, for reasons that weren't immediately clear.
Once a vocal Trump supporter, Strickland recently said on social media that he was not invited to participate in Sunday’s event because of his views on Israel — something UFC denied.
Forecasts also predicted a strong chance of thunderstorms and high winds, which delayed the event's start briefly.
“I’m sick and tired of hearing about the weather,” White declared on Friday, before conceding that he'll prefer to hold future UFC events inside arenas only.
When Trump’s predecessor, President Joe Biden, turned 80 in November 2022, he celebrated with a private family brunch at the White House, laying bare just how much and how quickly things have changed.
Asked about the contrast, White House spokesperson Allison Schuster said that the fight “will be one of the most entertaining nights in American history" and said that the timing was appropriate.
“Having this spectacle take place at the people’s house on Flag Day during our nations’ semiquincentennial anniversary is a fitting tribute,” Schuster said in a statement.
When he turned 80, Biden was the oldest president in U.S. history, and was months away from launching a reelection bid that he would ultimately abandon after a disastrous debate against Trump and mutiny among Democrats concerned he was too old to handle a second term.
Trump has now supplanted Biden as the oldest person to be elected U.S. president. He’s constitutionally barred from running again, yet constantly toys with the notion publicly. That’s despite polls showing rising public skepticism about Trump’s mental and physical health — recalling concerns Biden faced as he turned 80.
A Washington Post/ABC News/Ipsos poll conducted in April found that less than half of U.S. adults think Trump has the mental sharpness or physical health to serve effectively as president.
The White House countered with a lengthy statement from Trump's former White House physician, Texas Republican Rep. Ronny Jackson, saying Trump's “stamina, focus, and strength are exceptional and on display every day. Claims to the contrary are pure fiction.” Jackson added that polling concerns were “being propagated by the same biased, liberal, Trump-hating press that completely ignored the absolute cognitive and physical disaster that was President Biden.”
The UFC is an apt metaphor for Trump's pugilistic political style. He is as big a fan of cage-match-style politics as he is of cage-fighting itself.
But Trump has also long been a master of political misdirection, purposely presenting people with something other than his presidency to focus on when things aren’t going well.
With the war in Iran grinding on before Sunday's announcement — even during weeks of assurances from Trump that its end is nigh — gas prices skyrocketed. Renewed concerns about inflation and plummeting job approval ratings for Trump helped ensure that a White House birthday party unlike anything America has ever seen is definitely a diversion.
“This is all distraction,” said Mike Fontaine, a classics professor at Cornell University, who likened it to the gladiatorial games of Imperial Rome, when combatants brutalized each other for public entertainment meant to bolster rulers’ popularity and quell potential unrest.
“This is a classic strategy," Fontaine said. “In ancient Rome, the phrase would be, ‘bread and circuses.’”
Trump says the UFC is paying for the event and while its full costs haven't been divulged, the National Park Service said in a court filing that $60-plus million and tens of thousands of hours of labor went into it, while seven government agencies have “allocated significant resources and manpower.”
UFC also announced that it was adding as an official partner for the event World Liberty Financial to create a special $250,000 athlete bonus pool for Sunday night’s winners. The cryptocurrency company is co-owned by the Trump family, founded with the president’s special diplomatic envoy Steve Witkoff and run by his son, Zach.
The arrangement further blurs lines between the Trump family's financial interests and the events and construction projects the president has prioritized and used government resources to pull off.
Still, Fontaine said that when it comes to a personal flair for pageantry, the president’s second-term tendency to lean into “hardcore masculinity and brute fighting” is marrying the UFC's blood sport with Trump's trademark humor and enduring sense of showmanship.
“President Trump has a once-in-a-generation talent for this stuff,” he said.
