“…In both age groups and in concordance with the Shriner classification (11), the nose showed the highest blood flow levels in the face. Differences in blood flow between various areas of the face exist (3) probably because of variability in skin vascular architecture (12). However, some discrepancies exist between various studies probably under the influence of some parameters (age, gender, and race) (13).…”

The face showed anatomical variation on reaction to chemicals, which could be related to differences in biophysical specificities of the skin. The aim of this study was to establish a map of the face for 6 biophysical parameters.10 young human volunteers (24-34 years) and 10 old volunteers (66-83 years) were studied to prepare a map of the human face based on regional variations and age-related differences by measuring various biophysical parameters. 7 locations on the face, neck, and forearm were investigated. Skin blood flow, transepidermal water loss (TEWL), stratum corneum hydration (capacitance), temperature, pH, and sebum content of the skin surface were measured. In both groups, skin blood flow in the nose showed the highest value. Perioral and nasolabial areas showed the highest TEWL values. The neck showed the highest capacitance value. The highest skin temperature was detected in the neck in the young group and in the nasolabial area in the old group. The chin showed the most alkaline pH in both groups. Nasolabial area showed the highest sebum content in the young group, as did the chin in the old group. These baseline values provide a framework to build on for ascertaining disease and intervention-related effects.

“…More blood flow is required in areas with more appendages and sebaceous glands, which, in turn, can influence skin surface temperature. Marrakchi and Maibach attribute the heterogeneity in LDF measurements to variability in skin vascular architecture and the microanatomical organization of the microcirculation units of the upper dermis (22, 23). They explain that ascending arterioles, which are spaced 1.5–7 mm apart, give high erythrocyte flux and have high concentrations of moving red blood cells, while areas of relative avascularity give low erythrocyte flux.…”

Background: Facial skin exhibits unique biophysical properties that are distinct from skin belonging to other areas of the body. Small to large regional differences in biophysical properties between facial sites are observed. Technological advances in dermatological research allow a quantitative study of the biophysical qualities of the face and its relation to skin elsewhere. However, comprehensive studies examining inter-regional variations using each of the six standard biophysical parameters have been few. We summarize findings on the biophysical parameters used to explore the human face as well as regional differences in skin reactivity to chemical irritants. Methods: We performed a literature search using Pubmed, Embase, Science Citations Index, and the UCSF's dermatological library on biophysical parameters and skin physiology pertaining to the human face. Results: Distinct regional differences in transepidermal water loss (TEWL), capacitance, blood flow, sebum, pH, and temperature were demonstrated in facial skin. However, studies cannot be compared with each other because each uses different anatomical sites, skin conditions, and measurement techniques. Intraregional differences in TEWL, sebum, and temperatures were observed

“…Previous study had also proved this relation and showed that the flow rate in blood vessels directly affect the temperature of the external wall of blood vessels [3]. Based on the above facts, and that the blood supply of the face are provided by the branches of both internal and external carotid arteries [4], the assumption that the stenosis of carotid arteries might affect the temperature of the face was established.…”

Death caused by stroke above the age of 60 years placed second in the world, and is the fifth leading cause in people aged 15 to 59 years old. Several methods for early detection of stroke are magnetic resonance angiography, and carotid duplex, both diagnoses are cost and time consuming. This research is aimed to provide a noninvasive, cost effective, and rapid technique for diagnosing carotid artery stenosis by using thermography. In this study, 64 images from 32 people were used to analysis the correlation between the temperature of the face and the stenosis of carotid arteries by automatically selecting and calculating the mean and standard deviation of the facial temperature. We find that external carotid artery affects the facial temperature significantly.
