    GlossaryDermal Thickness

    measurement of the skin's middle layer depth

    Dermal thickness refers to the measurement of the depth of the dermis, which is the middle layer of the skin situated between the epidermis (outer layer) and the subcutaneous tissue (inner layer). It plays a crucial role in skin health, influencing factors like elasticity, strength, and the ability to retain moisture. Variations in dermal thickness can affect how the skin responds to aging, injury, and various dermatological conditions.
