About Seraphim Faces
Our purpose is to advance the understanding of the factors that shape facial development — from the earliest days of a baby’s life to the advanced age of an adult. It not only has aesthetic consequences but, perhaps most importantly, since the face houses our breathing chambers, consequences on sleep quality, systemic health, cognitive development and aging.
Scientific evidence on this is already vast and rapidly growing in the many discrete medical disciplines, yet common terminology, standards and framework are missing. We are still waiting for the theory to emerge.
Until recently, the story has not dominated public discourse. Probably because, just like with scientific research, and prevention in general, there is no pathway for particular economic profit in it. Despite it, there are indisputable societal health benefits on a large scale just around the corner.
It has not been a part of the public perception also because when the cultural changes began to unfold early last century, the effects surfaced in decades, not days. But they impacted so many people simultaneously that nobody stood out of the crowd. The base line has stealthily shifted at the time of rapid civilisational development and the exuberance that accompanied it. Moreover, the new cultural norms that most likely brought the insidious changes in facial development also coincided with the public’s fascination with genetics, at thus it was easy to attribute the — effectively, a pathology — to genetic factors (notwithstanding that the concept of epigenetics still remains somewhat fuzzy for much of the society at large).
There is no commercial interest behind SF, just the pure sense of gratification from of being able to do something good, and the promise of satisfaction if entire generations of kids can be smarter, healthier and more confident as a result.
The original concept of SF goes as fast as back as late 2010s in San Francisco. It now spans many countries in Europe as well as the US, with a meeting point in Switzerland. It is a rather informal initiative driven mainly by medical professionals. It is dedicated to advancing scientific research, as well as helping future parents and adults who are determined to achieve their improvement goals. Improvement always begins with awareness. Our ambition is to support and promote everyone — practitioners, educators, and individuals — who help others on this journey.
