Development of internal skin elasticity visualization technology
It is widely known that type III collagen, so-called “baby collagen,” significantly decreases with age; however, its connection with resilience had not been clarified.
Now, by using an internal skin elasticity visualization system (Picture 1), which is newly developed by applying ultrasonic technology, the research team has succeeded in visualizing the internal skin elasticity distribution for the first time in the world by analyzing the level of acoustic impedance*. In this research, the team discovered that the resilience in the papillary dermis, where type III collagen is abundant, begins deteriorating in 30s.
