Use of Cutometer area parameters in evaluating age‐related changes in the skin elasticity of the cheek

The decrease of skin elasticity on the cheek is a major concern to woman. The Cutometer® has been widely used to evaluate skin elasticity and its change with aging. Cutometer parameters derived from one suction have been traditionally used to evaluate skin elasticity, and few reports describe the use of multiple suctions to obtain parameters to assess the skin elasticity of the cheek. To find the most suitable Cutometer parameter that reflects age‐related changes in the elasticity of cheek skin using multiple suctions.
