Abstract
In this study, we evaluated the crow's fret of 95 Korean female by using mechanical assessments; Skin-Visiometer SV 600 and Dermascan C. Transparency profilometry (Skin Visiometer) were using a very thin skin print which allowed parallel light to pass through and was analysed immediately after production. High-frequency (20 MHz) ultrasonography (Dermascan C) enabled non-invasive evaluation in skin thickness and echodensity. We found a correlation between skin roughness and dermal density. Particularly, we showed a significant correlation between skin roughness (R2) and dermal thickness. Also, we demostrated a significant negative correlation between dermal density and dermal thickness (p < 0.05). Therefore, the ultrasonography system might be considered a very useful method in wrinkle evaluation with the transparency profilometry. Further study will be required.
