Coupling tensile test with LC-OCT and ultrasound imaging: investigation of the skin sublayers mechanical behaviour via Royal Society Open Science

The skin is an envelope that covers the entire body. Nowadays, understanding and studying the mechanical, biological and sensory properties of the skin is essential, especially in dermatology and cosmetology. The in-depth study of the skin’s mechanical behaviour is a highly intriguing challenge, enabling the differentiation of the behaviour of each layer. An extension device was developed to perform relaxation and extension tests to characterize the skin.
