Abstract

BACKGROUND/AIMS: A new method for the in vivo characterization of the mechanical properties of skin has been developed. This comprises a suction chamber and an ultrasound device to measure both the vertical displacement of the skin's surface, and the skin's thickness. METHODS: A mathematical model o...
