OBJECTIVE To identify whether there is a relationship between solar elastosis and the development of wrinkles in human skin. DESIGN Wrinkle depth was measured on the forehead and lateral canthus of human cadavers using image analysis. The thickness of the dermis was measured in skin sections obtained around wrinkles and stained with Elastica-van Gieson. SETTING Gross Anatomy Section, Kagosh...

Aging as a natural phenomenon affects different parts of the human body under the influence of various biological and environmental factors. The most pronounced changes that occur on the face is the appearance of wrinkles, which are the focus of this research. Accurate wrinkle detection is an important task in face analysis. Some have been proposed in the literature, but the poor localization l...

In this study, water vapour permeability, wrinkle recovery, UV protection and contact angle properties of ion implanted Polyester (PES) fabrics were investigated. order to achieve goal; our Metal Vapor Vacuum Arc (MEVVA) source Pb, Ag, Ag+N, Ti+O Cr+O the PES with 5x1016 ion/cm2 30 kV acceleration voltage. The test results compared unimplanted fabric. indicated that Protection values increased ...

BACKGROUND Although ablative fractional resurfacing is known to be effective against photoaging and acne scars, studies on its efficacy, safety and changes in the skin characteristics of Asians are limited. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of carbon dioxide fractional laser (CO2FL) in Koreans treated for wrinkles and acne scars, and to define the changes in...

Present day cotton garments are mostly given chemical treatments like Softening, Easy care (Wrinkle free), Antimicrobial etc. Human sweat contains chemicals and some times affects the appearances of the garments. Effect of perspiration on wrinkle free treated cotton fabric on acidic and alkaline condition has been studied during this research work. It has been observed that there is no negative...

BACKGROUND The fermented leaves and stems of Cyclopia intermedia are used to brew honeybush tea, an herbal tea indigenous to South Africa with reported anti-wrinkle effects. Wrinkle formation caused by photoaging clearly involves changes in extracellular matrix components and mechanical properties of the skin. METHODS The inhibitory effects of honeybush extract and fermented honeybush on wrin...
