Scan allows scientists to determine biological age from the face alone

New technology could allow doctors to further personalise treatment for patients and assess the effects of anti-ageing therapies

Scientists have created a 3D imaging system they claim can reliably predict a person's biological age from the look of their face alone.

The researchers believe the technology could be used to judge whether proposed anti-ageing treatments have any effect, and to help doctors fine-tune advice and therapies for their patients.
