“…Biometrological measurements were performed at each visit on each ROI (face and both sides of the neckline). The hydration index was assessed using measurements of impedance (Corneometer CM825; Courage & Khazaka, Koeln, Germany), the skin elasticity by cutometry (Cutometer; Courage & Khazaka), and the skin relief was studied by fringe projections in vivo (LIBC prototype; 18). In this latter method, a network of light fringes of various widths was projected on the test area and became distorted by the relief.…”

“…However, some qualitative improvement in skin quality, including elasticity, dermal thickness, and epidermal smoothness, may not be reliably appreciated using static two‐dimensional photography. More‐advanced photographic techniques (e.g., cross‐polarization) or other measurement tools, including three‐dimensional computerized skin profilometry, skin cytometry, and silicone mask profilometry, may have been more sensitive at detecting these changes 10,11 . Perhaps these techniques might have been able to demonstrate a real effect from the GentleWaves device, but ultimately, we were looking for clinical improvement, which we could not detect according to clinical assessment or through attempts with a standard photo technique.…”
