What is Iconesthesia?

Iconesthesia (Iconestesia®) is an advanced method of analyzing and enhancing the human face through expressive and physiognomic characteristics.

It explores the silent language of our features — decoding the energy, structure, and expression of the face to reveal the unique message it conveys. Each face is classified into one of six visual “impacts,” and from there, styling and aesthetic decisions are made to enhance that specific visual identity.

This discipline allows image consultants to move beyond trends or general advice, offering instead a highly tailored, expressive, and meaningful approach to personal image.

What is this discipline based on?

Iconesthesia® focuses on the sensations communicated through the gaze and the nuances of facial structure. It allows us to understand and classify the impression our face leaves on others — dividing it into six distinct types of impact.

But what do we mean by “impact”?

Impact is the immediate, instinctive impression a face evokes. It’s that first emotional response we experience when we encounter someone — a subtle yet powerful sensation shaped by facial physiognomy and the expressiveness of the gaze.

Imagine walking into a crowded room. Before a word is spoken, your mind is already processing the faces around you — forming first impressions based purely on appearance.

This unconscious and intuitive process is exactly what Iconesthesia® studies and translates, giving it structure, language, and intention.
