Dermal Density Measurement

Meaning

Dermal density measurement is a non-invasive clinical technique used to quantify the compactness and structural thickness of the skin’s dermis layer, which is composed primarily of collagen and elastin fibers embedded in a ground substance. This metric serves as a quantifiable, objective biomarker of skin health, biological aging, and the efficacy of dermal-remodeling interventions. A higher density generally correlates with improved skin turgor, resilience, and a reduction in the visible signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles.
