Article Synopsis
- High-frequency ultrasound was used to measure skin thickness in the axillary region, which is relevant for dermatological treatments like hair removal and skin condition management.
- The study assessed 30 healthy participants, mostly females with an average age of 50, finding that the central part of the axillae had a significantly thicker skin (3.1 mm) compared to the peripheral areas (1.8 mm).
- Results indicated no significant differences in skin thickness based on age, sex, or body mass index, emphasizing the importance of central vs. peripheral thickness for improving dermatological therapies.
