  EASYSTIFF®, a Portable and Innovative Device Able to Separately Analyze Each Skin Compartment for the Evaluation of Mechanical Properties
  Author(s): Gael Rune, Jean-Andre Lapart and Julien Chlasta*
  
  Human skin is submitted to various factors leading to either extrinsic or intrinsic aging. In addition to inducing molecular and morphological changes, skin aging is characterized by modifications in skin biomechanical properties modifications. These modifications can be used as biomarkers to both evaluate the degree of advancement in skin aging but also to detect potential pathologies. Hence, it is from critical interest to be able to evaluate skin biomechanical properties to fully detect and monitor these alterations. Here we introduce a portable and innovative device, EASYSTIFF®, which is thought to in vivo measure stiffness properties of skin. Based on indentation principle, EASYSTIFF® allows to identify both global stiffness of skin (all confounded cutaneous compartment) or compartmentalized stiffness, in which stiffness v.. View More»
