Introduction.
Various skin parameters such, as the thickness of the epidermal echo, dermis and subcutaneous tissue, the surface area of individual layers, the thickness of the subepidermal band with a low echogenic effect, the caliber of blood vessels, as well as the presence or absence of blood flow in the vessels, can be investigated with ultrasound. The aim of our investigation was to evaluate skin layers thickness in women of different age groups and the use of invasive cosmetic procedures, using the ultrasound method for its subsequent standardization.Materials and methods. The thickness epidermis, dermis, hypodermis in the interbrow, chin, nasolabial fold and cheeks (salivary gland), submandibular, occiput, sternocleidomastoid muscle zones was study in 102 women aged 15-75 years (average age 40,2 ± 1,2 years) using the Mindray DC-8 ultrasound scanner. In 14 women was investigated height, width and diameter of facial artery. The study was carried out in Department of Fundamental Medicine of the Baltic Federal University named after Kant. Statistical processing for the study results was performed in Microsoft Excel 2017 using average values (M), the reliability was determined using Student's criterion, and its critical level in this study was taken to be 0.05.
Results and its discussion. It was revealed that on face the thickness of the epidermis was minimal in the submandibular area (0,037 cm) and in neck and occiput it was smaller (0,033 cm). The epidermis maximum was detected in the chin area (0,040 cm). Analysis of the dermis thickness indicates the largest size on face was in the interbrow area (0,048 cm) and smallest in the submandibular (0,020 cm). The hypodermis thickness on face was greatest in the area of the chin (0,129 cm), while in occiput it reached 0,141 cm. The smallest thickness of the hypodermis we had detected in the submandibular area (0,070 cm). We found a thickening of the dermis in patients after 40 years in all anatomical areas of the face with a statistically significant difference (p<0,05). The maximum thickness of the dermis was documented in the interbrow area, regardless of age. The dermis thickness in nasolabial folds in patients using dermal fillers was in 2 times greater versus surveyed women without it.
Conclusion. The ultrasound technique in the skin and vessels study has clear advantages, since its results can be assessed in real time, it is non-invasive, inexpensive, reliable and absolutely safe for patients
