ULTRASOUND AS USEFUL TOOL FOR EVALUATION AGE-RELATED CHANGES AND PATHOLOGICAL LESIONS OF THE FACE SKIN

Abstract

Various skin parameters such as the thickness of the epidermal echo, dermis and subcutaneous tissue, the surface area of individual layers, the thickness of the subepidermal layer with a low echogenic effect, the caliber of blood vessels, as well as the presence or absence of blood flow in the vessels, can be investigated with ultrasound. The aim of our investigation was to evaluate age-related changes and pathological lesions of the face skin using ultrasound examination of the different anatomical areas of the face in young and older women.
