“…Measurements of skin deformation were recorded after applying a progressive suction at a linear rate of 25 mbar/s for 20 s, followed by a release of the depression at the same rate. The method was previously described [18, 19]and a typical recording is illustrated in figure 1. Typical tensile properties of skin are nonlinear stress-strain relationships.…”

Background: To evaluate the influence of gravitational edema due to chronic venous insufficiency upon the tensile properties of skin. Method: A total of 30 women aged 66–75 years participated in the study. Evaluations were made twice in the same subjects following the use or nonuse of daytime elastic compression. Mechanical properties of the skin were measured in the midportion of the legs using a computerized suction device. Results: The consistency of skin which shows abnormal rheological characteristics at the site of gravitational edema was significantly modified by compression therapy. Both skin extensibility and hysteresis were increased after wearing tight stockings although the biologic elasticity remained unchanged. Conclusion: Noninvasive measurements of the tensile properties of the skin represent an objective assessment of the severity of leg edema and of its correction by compression therapy.

“…Most of the available information comes from studies performed on the forearms [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. The single striking and undisputed result, whatever the method used, is the loss of elasticity over the entire life span.In contrast to the bulk of information coming from the forearm skin, the influence of age on the mechanical properties of facial skin has been seldom studied with precise computerized devices [6][7][8][9][10][11]. From these studies, the information is limited and even contradictory.…”

Ageing affects the mechanical properties of skin. Studies using objective measurements on facial skin have been rare and yielded contradictory information. In the present study, the age-related changes occurring in the mechanical properties of facial skin were reviewed using a computerized suction method. A total of 200 healthy women, aged from 17 to 68 years, were enrolled. Data show a significant increase in skin extensibility and a significant decline in elasticity with ageing. These changes become obvious in women approaching 40 years.

El envejecimiento en general, y el cutáneo en particular, es un proceso deletéreo y universal, que, sin embargo, admite diferencias individuales en función de las causas que actúan sobre el proceso. No existe una causa única, admitiéndose diferentes teorías, entre las que se encuentran las teorías no estocásticas (no azarosas), como es la genética, en la que se incluye la de la senescencia replicativa y la de los gerontogenes; y las teorías estocásticas (azarosas), que hacen referencia al daño ambiental acumulativo a través de la oxidación y la glicación producida por tabaco, sol, contaminación y otros factores entre los que se encuentra el factor hormonal.La prevención se fundamenta en una dieta sana, ejercicio físico y evitación de los factores ambientales como el tabaco y el sol mediante la fotoprotección. En el tratamiento, se consideran la terapia hormonal sustitutiva, los cosméti-cos y cosmecéuticos, las técnicas intervencionistas que se practican en la consulta (mesoterapia, implantes o rellenos, toxina botulínica, peeling químico, láser e hilos tensores) y la cirugía estética.Palabras clave: vejez, envejecimiento cutáneo, causas, teoría estocástica, teoría no estocástica, fotoprotección, hormonas, cosméticos, rejuvenecimiento, técnicas dermoestéticas. AbsTRACTAging in general, and cutaneous in particular, is a deleterious and universal process, which nevertheless admits individual differences depending on the causes that act on the process. There is no single cause, with different theories being accepted, such as non-stochastic (non-random) theories such as genetics, including replicative senescence and gerontogenes, and stochastic (random) theories that refer to cumulative environmental damage through oxidation and glycation produced by tobacco, sun, pollution and other factors including hormone factor.Prevention is based on a healthy diet, physical exercise and avoidance of environmental factors such as tobacco

Age‐Related Changes in Facial Skin Contours and Rheology

Abstract: Aging of facial skin resembles, in some ways, the features previously reported on sun-protected areas of the forearms. HRT has a beneficial effect that may slow the overall process of aging without, however, limiting the number and depth of wrinkles.
