Age‐related changes in skin mechanical properties: a quantitative evaluation of 120 female subjects

Abstract: According to the results of our study, we recommend the parameter ratio of elastic recovery to distensibility (U(r)/U(f) ) as well as the gross elasticity (U(a)/U(f)) for evaluation of aging effects on the mechanical properties of skin. Their high correlation with age makes them particularly applicable to represent the influence of aging onto skin mechanical properties. Most suitable localizations to evaluate skin aging are cheek, forearm and neck.

“…Again, the result was that the skin reaches biological maturity at an early age (15 -20 years) at which point it then starts to age [9]. Recent studies support the idea that collagen plays a role in the aging of the skin [10][11][12]. In addition to the work on the mechanical properties of the skin, investigations were also carried out in the past on the forces which were required to penetrate the skin and other materials with differently shaped objects.…”

“…Then, they proposed a multistage buckling theory for the evaluation of the wrinkle properties. Krueger et al (2) have investigated the change of the properties of the skin with aging. They performed the quantitative analysis of the mechanical skin properties of 120 female subjects.…”

“…Current research devices and clinical products for in vivo skin assessment typically employ a single mode or method of deformation, such as suction [1][2][3][4][5], torsion [6,7], indentometry [8][9][10][11], ballistometry [12], shear deformation [13][14][15], or extensometry [16][17][18]. Mechanical properties reported using these techniques vary widely.…”
