Morphological Characteristics of Residual Skin Surface Components Collected from the Surface of Facial Skin in Women of Different Age

摘要

BackgroundProblems of skin aging and its prevention currently attract increasing attention with the growth of human life expectancy. The morphology of the stratum corneum (SC) is well known, but investigation of age-related changes of its structure is difficult in the absence of non-invasive sampling methods. The residual skin surface components (RSSC) that overlay the SC can be easily collected non-invasively.
