Age-related features of the layered structure and microcirculation of the skin in women with different morphotypes of aging

Abstract

The article analyzes the data of ultrasound examination of age-related features of structural changes in the layers and vessels of the skin. The soft tissues of the face were evaluated and ultrasound examinations of the skin layers and vessels of sixty female patients aged 45 to 55 years were characterized. A correlation has been revealed between changes in the mechanical properties of the skin layers and microcirculation features in different morphotypes of aging, which manifest themselves in different thicknesses, mechanical properties and microcirculation features. Signs of involution of the fine-wrinkled type of aging are caused by a violation of microcirculation of the first type, in which the intensity of blood flow correlates with the level of metabolic activity of the surrounding tissues. The deformational type of aging is characterized by blood deposition, venous stagnation and, as a result, destruction of capillaries, an increase in the size of the perivascular zone.
