It is important to differentiate skin changes due to the intrinsic ageing process from those due to chronic photodamage in the development of therapies to assist the latter condition, and in this study we have used instrumental techniques to differentiate between changes in a range of properties of skin due to ageing and those due to photodamage, especially with regard to elasticity. We measured three sites of differing sun exposure in a group of younger and in a group of older subjects. A pulsed A-scan ultrasound system was used to measure skin thickness,Downloads
