ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Age-related changes in facial skin is a major concern in women. This study aimed to objectively evaluate normal skin elasticity and age-related differences in the faces of East Asian women. There are no standard values for data related to normal skin on East Asian women.METHODS:
We studied 129 healthy East Asian women without a history of cosmetic procedures or surgeries. Skin elasticity was assessed at the cheek and lower eyelid points, which were assessed on both the right and left sides of the face.RESULTS:
The age of the subjects showed significant negative correlations with the R2 and R7 parameters, which represent skin elasticity after deformation.CONCLUSION:
We therefore concluded that the primary decrease in skin elasticity in East Asian women occurs in the midface region.Key words
