Skin biomechanical properties: in vivo evaluation of influence of age and body site by a non‐invasive method

Background/aims: Biomechanical properties of the skin are evaluated in vivo by torsion or extension methods. We assessed their modifications as function of age, probe diameter and regional body site.
