IEC: Biomechanical expertise of the skin since 1994 via ZOOM #33

The exploration of cutaneous biomechanical properties has always been a topic of great interest for IEC for a better understanding of flexibility, firmness, elasticity and tonicity constants, in addition to a clinical expertise by tactile scoring (communication Cosmetotest Lyon 2023):

• 1994: Suction measurement, Cutometer® (C&K), Short podium communication IFSCC Cannes 1998: investigations on stretch marks, tensing, firming products
• 2007: Non-contact measurement, Dynaskin® (Orion/Eotech), Communication ISBS Lisboa
• 2016: immediate and long-term effects with illustration of skin deformations
• 2018: Dynamic non-contact measurement, SkinFlex® (Orion TechnoLab), Engineering thesis with Orion, 2020: compact device for multicenter and multiethnic studies in the 9 IEC global centers
• 2025: DynaSKIN2® (Eotech) combined with AEVA®-HE for 3D measurements of the deformation of the skin.
