... between the descriptors nomenclature proposed by Agache and the designation for the suction-based standard instruments is proposed. The addressed properties include skin softness/stiffness, firmness, elasticity, elastic and viscoelastic properties, extensibility, resilience, anisotropy, acoustical shock...

... allocated to each treatment group. Skin elasticity, skin moisture, transepidermal water loss and skin roughness were objectively measured before the first oral product application (t0) and after 4 (t1) and 8 weeks (t2) of regular intake. Skin elasticity (primary interest) was also assessed at follow-up 4...

... strength or elasticity was found after prednisolone acetate treatment, whereas the indicators of viscosity showed a decrease. D -Peni-cillamine treatment decreased all parameters of strength and elasticity and increased viscosity and plasticity. Aminoacetonitrile bisulfate induced biphasic changes: after...

...E.C. Ruvolo Jr.; G.N. Stamatas; N. Kollias One of the dominant characteristics of skin aging is loss of elasticity. Although the changes in the mechanical properties of the skin over several decades of life are substantial, objective measurements have failed to capture their magnitude thus far...
