What is FAHR-Face?
FAHR-Face is a face foundation model from researchers at Mass General Brigham and Harvard, published in The Lancet Digital Health. The team pretrained it on more than 40 million unlabeled face photos covering ages 0 to 116, so the model learned how faces change across a lifetime.
From that base the researchers built two tools. FAHR-FaceAge estimates biological age, how old your body looks, rather than the age on your ID. FAHR-FaceSurvival was trained on photos of cancer patients to support doctors in clinical research.
The study found that a face looking five or more years older than its real age was linked to worse health outcomes, and that makeup, lighting and most cosmetic surgery barely moved the estimate. This FAHR-Face age test brings the face age idea to everyone: no clinic, just a selfie.

Where FAHR-Face looks on your face
The research attention maps show which facial areas carry face age and health signals.
Forehead
Horizontal lines and skin texture above the brows, one of the first areas where age shows.
Temples
Volume at the sides of the forehead. Hollow temples add years, and the study saw attention shift here after 40.
Under-eye
Hollowness and dark circles below the eyes, the area the survival model focused on most.
Nose bridge
Sharpness and skin along the nose bridge, another key area in the research attention maps.
Smile lines
Depth of the folds from nose to mouth, a classic sign of collagen loss.
Face age vs real age: why the gap matters
The researchers call the difference between face age and real age the face age deviation. In their patients, looking five or more years older was tied to a 21% higher risk, and looking five or more years younger to a 17% lower risk.
Smoking showed a clear dose effect: current smokers looked older than former smokers, who looked older than people who never smoked. Sleep, sun and stress leave marks too, which is why your report ends with habits you can change.
This age test is for curiosity and self-care. It does not diagnose disease or predict lifespan. Talk to a doctor about any health concern.
FAHR-Face age test FAQ
FAHR-Face is a face foundation model from Mass General Brigham and Harvard, trained on 40 million+ faces and published in The Lancet Digital Health. Its age tool estimates biological age from one photo.
Yes. FAHR Face, FAHR-Face and FahrFace all refer to the same research model. The official name uses a hyphen.
Each test uses 1 credit. Credit packs start at $1 per test and never expire, and a failed test is refunded automatically.
We keep only a small thumbnail. Your photo is resized in your browser and sent once for analysis, and a small thumbnail is saved with your result so you can see it in your history. Only you can view it, you can delete any record at any time, and photos are never used to train models.
Results depend on the photo. Use a sharp, front-facing selfie with even light and no filters. Treat the number as an estimate, not a measurement.
No. The survival model in the study was a research tool for doctors treating cancer patients. This site only estimates face age and gives general self-care tips.
