“…Excessive mechanical forces on bodily tissues can, in some cases, cause lacerations to the affected area and the pattern of laceration to be determined by the structural and biomechanical properties of the skin [2]. The organised structure of skin serves as the primary protective barrier from the external environment, including mechanical trauma such as friction, impact, pressure, cutting and shearing [3,4] . This protection is achieved though the skin's non-homogenous, non-linear, anisotropic viscoelastic properties [5].…”

“…When a load is applied to skin, it responds by dissipating the energy via its viscous component. The skin's load response is further explained by Young's modulus, or the stress-strain curve [3,10]. Applied strain initially causes the elastin fibres to carry the load and collagen fibres remain unordered.…”

“…Enfoque especial é dado às alterações que o envelhecimento provoca na pele, como a flacidez, o enrugamento, a desidratação e a perda de elasticidade cutânea. A importância da manutenção destas propriedades da pele provém da ação que esta exerce, por exemplo, quando exposta à traumas mecânicos, ou seja, fricção, impacto e pressão (Edwards, Marks, 1995;Diridollou et al, 1998;Fthenakis et al, 1991).…”

“…Nessa camada estão presentes as raízes dos pelos, as glândulas, terminações nervosas, arteríolas e vênulas, alguns tipos de células, sendo a maioria fibroblastos, e fibras de colágeno e elastina (EDWARDS; MARKS, 1995). O colágeno fornece a sustentação e previne o estiramento excessivo.…”
