ABSTRACT
The moisture content of the epidermis was measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), using transverse relaxation time. The spatial resolution was 86 microns, allowing a quantitative, accurate and localized determination of variations in epidermal hydration. The wrists of 15 volunteers were studied before and after application of a hydration cream. Results showed an increase of 15% of epidermal T2 after application of the cream. Moisture content curves varied according to different degrees of skin dryness. This study demonstrates that MRI is a useful tool in evaluation of epidermal hydration.
