Background: Age-related changes in facial skin is a major concern in women. This study aimed to objectively evaluate normal skin elasticity and age-related differences in the faces of East Asian women. There are no standard values for data related to normal skin on East Asian women.

Methods: We studied 129 healthy East Asian women without a history of cosmetic procedures or surgeries. Skin elasticity was assessed at the cheek and lower eyelid points, which were assessed on both the right and left sides of the face.

Results: The age of the subjects showed significant negative correlations with the R2 and R7 parameters, which represent skin elasticity after deformation.

Conclusion: We therefore concluded that the primary decrease in skin elasticity in East Asian women occurs in the midface region.
