“…For example, it was reported that values of skin stiffness obtained with Cutometer correlate with age 7,11,30 . Accordingly, it was successfully used in the assessment of skin condition in both healthy 11,13,18,21,24 and affected by diseases groups 6,7 . In addition, in most studies, the Cutometer is used as a reference device with which other devices are compared 18,21,24 .…”

“…Unfortunately, this method has considerable limitations—that is it is not completely objective, even if the examination is performed by an investigator with a long experience. Therefore, in order to obtain more reliable skin biomechanical properties measurements, some devices have been already tested—for example Durometer, 2,3,14‐17 SkinFibroMeter, 9,14,18‐20 Khelometer, 12,14 Reviscometer, 12,14,21,22 Frictiometer, 14,21,23 Ballistometer, 24‐27 Ultrasound Elastography 4,5,8,10,14,28,29 and the most commonly used Cutometer 6,7,11,13,14,18,21,24,30 …”

Background Stiffness of skin is widely used parameter in many research areas, for example cosmetic industry, dermatology or rheumatology for assessing of skin condition as well as changes occurring in skin. In this pioneering study, we conducted measurements of skin stiffness using MyotonPRO —novel tool, which was mainly used to evaluate biomechanical properties of muscles, ligaments and tendons. We expected that MyotonPRO , which shows great reproducibility in previous studies, will also be able to measure skin stiffness. Materials and methods Four replaceable probes designed by MyotonPRO (L‐shape short and medium arm, standard cylindrical flat‐end probe and the same standard probe with disc attachment ) were tested for measurement of skin stiffness in young women (30 healthy females) at three different locations (clavicula, volar forearm and shin). Results There was no significant difference between stiffness values obtained with L‐shape short and L‐shape medium arm probes in all investigated areas. Stiffness values recorded by regular probe and regular probe with disc attachment differ significantly from those collected with L‐shape probes. There was also significant difference between values of stiffness obtained by standard with disc attachment and standard probes. Conclusion Both L‐shape probes show a great reliability for skin stiffness assessment. Therefore, MyotonPRO can be considered a reliable device for assessing skin stiffness.

“…Beyond the skin surface, advanced sound and light‐based scanners, including ultrasound and optical coherence tomography (OCT), can evaluate epidermal and dermal ultrastructure, allowing for quantitative measurement of epidermal and dermal thickness, skin texture, dermal density (attenuation coefficient), vasculature and blood flow [9–12]. Skin function has been assessed by measuring skin secretions (moisture, pH, and sebum content), skin permeability (transepidermal water loss [TEWL]) and viscoelastic properties (elastic deformation laxity and stiffness) [9,13–16].…”

Background and Objective: Patient-reported outcomes and blinded observer rating scales are subjective and unreliable but are extensively utilized to evaluate cosmetic office-based treatments, including ablative lasers. This study aims to assess the practicality of using noninvasive and minimally invasive methods for objective skin assessment following a skin rejuvenation treatment. Study Design/Materials and Methods: Twelve patients received a single 1,470/2,940 nm laser treatment for facial rejuvenation. Assessments were performed before treatment, and 7 days, 3 weeks, and 3 months posttreatment. Images were taken with the VISIA Skin Analysis System to measure wrinkles, textures, pores, ultraviolet (UV) spots, brown spots, red areas, and porphyrins. Other non-invasive skin measurements-highresolution ultrasonography, optical coherence tomography, transepidermal water loss and BTC 2000-were used to measure epidermal/dermal thickness, blood flow, surface roughness, wrinkle depth, attenuation coefficient, elasticity, laxity, and viscoelasticity. Microbiopsies (0.33 mm in diameter or the equivalent of a 23-gauge needle) were collected for histology and gene expression of tissue rejuvenation. Results: Significant improvement in facial skin aesthetics after laser treatment was recorded in UV spots, brown spots and pores after 3 weeks and in UV spots and brown spots after 3 months. The dermal attenuation coefficient decreased significantly at 3 weeks, while blood flow 0.5 to 0.7 mm below the skin surface increased significantly between 5 days and 3 weeks following treatment. Epidermal hyaluronic acid expression assessed by immunostaining and expression of inflammatory genes were elevated at 7 days posttreatment compared with untreated or 3 months posttreatment. There were no statistically significant changes in collagen or elastin-related genes between groups at the studied parameters. Conclusion: Non-invasive devices can be effectively used to provide objective measurements of skin structure, pigmentation, blood flow, and elasticity to assess the efficacy of facial skin rejuvenation treatments. Furthermore, microbiopsies can objectively evaluate facial skin rejuvenation without scarring. Using non-invasive skin imaging, a single treatment with the 1,470/2,940 nm laser was observed to be effective in improving skin appearance after 3 months, namely in reducing UV spots and brown spots, without significant changes in the tissue at the molecular level, as assessed by microbiopsy.

Background: There is still a lack of clinically practical device, which allows to perform rapid and accurate examination of the skin condition. For this reason, suitability of the MyotonPRO for the assessment of skin biomechanical and viscoelastic parameters was evaluated in this study. The aim of the study was to establish the reference values of five parameters measured by MyotonPRO various locations of human skin. Materials and methods:Oscillation frequency, dynamic stiffness, logarithmic decrement, mechanical stress relaxation and creep were measured at three different skin locations (clavicula, volar forearm and shin), using L-shape short and medium arm probes in 32 young female volunteers. Mean values of obtained parameters recorded by both probes were compared among three skin locations while reliabilities of measurements were assessed. Additionally, relationships between all recorded parameters were examined Results: There were no statistically significant differences between the mean values of five measured parameters obtained with both probes in all investigated areas. However, statistically significant differences of mean values of almost all parameters measured among three places examined were found. Despite considerable differences in mean values of obtained parameters, there were visible strong correlations between some studied parameters in all three investigated areas of skin. Conclusion:It was demonstrated in all locations studied that the higher value of oscillation frequency corresponds to the higher value of dynamic stiffness, moreover such tissue recovers faster to its initial shape, and it was characterized by lower creep values.Such results indicate the existence of identical relationships between the same studied parameters in different areas of skin.
