“…These include the wrinkle severity rating scale (WSRS) [23], the modified Fitzpatrick wrinkle scale (MFWS) [7], the Lemperle scale [28], the Glogau scale [29], the Fitzpatrick scale [30], the Carruthers scales [24,34] and the Genzyme scale [35]. Many other scales exist developed for specific areas of the face, and are not included in this discussion.…”

The assessment of photoaging is a huge component not only in clinical practice, but also in human research studies geared towards anti-aging therapies, photoprotection or mechanistic studies to understand the effects of ultraviolet light on the skin. However, evaluation remains difficult to standardize. Photonumeric scales are superior to descriptive evaluations, and have been used with some validity and reproducibility. Newer techniques that employ more sophisticated imaging modalities may be necessary. In addition, consideration of skin color, ethnicity, gender, and specific anatomic regions of the face play a role in the evaluation.

“…descriptive, visual analogue and photographic scales. Most of these scales are intended for assessment of specific body regions, such as cheek sagging, crow's feet [1], nasolabial folds [2], lip fullness [3], marionette lines [4], forehead wrinkles [5] while a few are intended for the entire face [6]. The drawback of these scales is that the quality of scoring is strongly influenced by the level of experience of the examiner as the assessment is based on a subjective visual perception of lines and wrinkles rather than actual physical measurements.…”

Increased demand for treatment of skin wrinkles has led to a proliferation of different pharmaceutical and surgical treatment methods. However there still remains a lack of quantitative, objective, easily utilizable and reproducible wrinkle classification system by which these treatments can be studied and compared. We propose the use of a novel photometric stereo based technique as a potentially efficient and economical way for quantitative evaluation of skin topography. Also presented is an algorithm for improving depth estimates of skin using photometric stereo and Fractals based technique for quantification of skin topography which unlike existing 2D roughness parameters makes use of complete 3D topographical information.

“…9,10 Facial lines are currently treated most often with cross-linked hyaluronic acid and less often with other biodegradable injectable dermal fillers such as calcium hydroxyl apatite. 9,10,[15][16][17] Rating scales have ordinal properties as they are based on ranking the results from most to least preferred and are therefore at best semiquantitative. The combination of fillers and toxin usually leads to superior treatment outcomes and prolongs the effects of treatment.…”
