The skin elasticity analyzer

The skin elasticity analyzer was developed based on decades of previous research conducted by Dr. Armen Sarvazyan and by Artann’s team with the support of the Phase I SBIR funding provided by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases. The skin elasticity analyzer provides quantitative information on skin elasticity and mechanical anisotropy of the tissue. This noninvasive measurement is performed by a single touch of a probe to the chosen area of the skin. The device can be used for evaluating short and longer term changes in the skin in a broad range of medical applications. It can be used by dermatologists to assess the progress of wound healing treatments, monitor skin grafts and pressure sores, quantify the effects of scar management techniques, and to monitor therapy and diagnosis of various skin diseases that are accompanied by changes in skin elasticity. In plastic surgery, it can be used to evaluate the effects of facial rejuvenation or reconstructive surgery and the effects on the skin of liposuction and related fat-removal techniques. In cosmetology, the system has applications in determining the types of skin and for assessing objectively the efficacy of various lotions, creams and ointments.
